Today I went shopping to get some smart trousers for a my new job, as I don't own any, other than the pairs I have with my suits. Anyhow I've came away with none as all I could find didn't fit my legs. My first ports of call were River Island and Top Man as I usually get some stuff there and it's quite trendy and reasonably priced. Christ on a bike I could even get them pulled up. Next was Primark these where a little better but a little tight in the lunchbox area. Now I would like to make an impression on the first day, but only for the right reasons. Final call was Matalan which where better but still tight round the thighs. Now is it just me and my thunder thighs or trousers getting skinner? Anyone else have these problems getting some keks for work?

 

Im fairly lucky i wear a uniform at work, so dont have to worry about it

 

I'm in the same boat mate, best advice, go to Marks and Spencers, they have some great suit style trousers, two pairs for £30 last time I looked.

The thing with RI and the likes, is that they are designed around people built like stick insects.

 

Im guessing your used to wearing jeans?
I have exactly the same problem, I buy a 36 inch waist jeans but I find trousers have to be bigger to fit round my thighs and groin area and just have to wear a belt

 

A diet might help

 

I'm the last person to give fashion tips, but try Debenhams, can't go wrong and nice easy buying environment (not pushy etc).

slimming world is better then weightwatchers.

 

Try M&S or Cotton Traders

Yep jeans and combats mostly. Normally a 34inch waist with jeans and even then I've got to get loose fit.
As for the diet I was recently checked out at the doctors and was described as prefect weight for my height and age.
I'll probably try some of the above shops tomorrow or try some 36inch with a belt

 

 

I hope your not implying I'm looking like my dad (he's not changed)

 

trousers used to have some of them then got married

 

I buy golf trousers for work - Ashworth Dewsweeper are my favourites. Plenty of room, smart, and easy care (just hang them up straight from the dryer and no ironing required). Good when I want to slope of work early to play golf as well.

 

just go to work wearing your pants,that will make an impression.

 

Give Debenhams a try, the Jeff Banks stuff is top notch imo

 

You could always try the charity shops!

I bet you were trying on fashion trousers, they are mostly the skinny type right now.

Buy a pair of suit trousers and you'll be fine!

 

Yeah they we're fashion type but I kept away from the skinny styled one, well the ones that said they were.
Anyhow all sorted today, good old Next, don't know why I never looked there in the first place

 

The ones in the high street 'trendy' shops are all skinny ish with the fit at the moment.

I'd try M&S or a department store as they will have more of a range.

 

Did you try Burtons? It's about the only place I find trousers for work that fit/feel comfortable around the top of my legs/around the jewels. Also normally well priced too.

River Island, Top Man and sometimes even next seem to cater for the skinny runts only. (yes I could do with losing a few pounds but not everyone is a 10 stone stick with a 30" waist)

 

Get some elasticated slacks, yknow like pensioners wear you fat b4stard.
