Retailers that sell work trousers...

[Prisoner 24601]

Stupid question time, but hear me out. I wear Chino's a lot for work, with a shirt. I want to mix it up a little. Are there any retailers that sell trousers, similar to a suit but without the jacket? I know at Next and similar shops you can buy the trousers without the jacket, but I suppose I am looking for something similar to that, but different at the same time.

Smart casual trousers that I can wear to work in town.

Wouldn't it be worth a trip to M&S or somewhere similar and see what they have? Buying a pair of trousers shouldn't be challenging.

Uniqlo

Abercrombie

Work trousers? Well, both Toolstation and Screwfix sell them, just make sure you buy the ones with the inserts for knee pads.

Oh, you mean soft hand work trousers.

[Sway]

Smart casual trousers you can wear out after work?

I think you've just described chinos.

Oh come on play gentle...... or there will be some (double) time out.....

Are you looking for slacks?

[mike80]

Tesco?

Trousers - you’re describing trousers, no?

There should be something on the link above I’d think…

Cheers all - although on the face of it a silly question, it was genuine, and we did get some good responses. Thanks to DanL and VO 2.

I had forgotten about Uniqlo. Reiss looks good, although bit more pricey.

End of thread - would you agree?

Dickies at John Lewis......

Carhartt. WTF is that about? Workwear that has become fashion with stupid prices. I know I'm old, butVikingette2 wears it, and I comment that the only real work she has ever done is pushing a mouse around her desk.

Type trousers into google.

I think what you are describing is a trip back to the 90’s.

You’ll be asking for smart short sleeved shirts next.

Each to their own I guess but chinos and smart jeans are the best bet. I operate a system where the jeans eventually get relegated to dog walking, then gardening, then painting and decorating… more environmentally friendly than the smart work trouser one trick pony approach.

I bought a couple of pairs for my son. They are very god quality and cost about 10p.

I think the OP can be more practical than that - Viz Top Tip - wear a normal pair of trousers and have a pair of tear away stripper trousers on top.

John Lewis.
Slaters.
M&S.

Probably end of thread.

Reiss will give you an idea of the options, but I’m sure everyone else will do something similar at all budget levels - it sounded like you needed some ideas, and now you have them.

John Lewis and M&S are good suggestions from others on where to look, and JL carry Reiss too, so you can compare and contrast at different price points, from store brand, Reiss, Hugo Boss, etc.

Try to avoid buying work trousers with external zips on the pockets, unless you want to scratch your paintwork
