Any idea where I can buy flat front trousers or trousers with no pockets??
Maybe I’m not looking in the right shops??
Any ideas, please 😊
Thank you

Thank you Bixiboo. I’ll have a look.

I think Robell trousers go up to size 18. They have different designs but I find the Marie model is very flattering for pear shapes. They wash and wear extremely well and have an excellent range of colours.

Robell seem to be popular. I’m a size 16 and very pear shaped. Would they be a good fit for me?

Cannot recommend these trousers too highly, lots of colours to choose, several designs in flat front and no pockets. Wash well, never wear out. I have several pairs keep hoping I will need to replace a pair but they are still going strong. Very slim styling.

I’d like pockets in all my clothes, except as phones get bigger they don’t fit in lots of pockets.
Try Bella di Notte for trousers, I think they do Robell too.

A rear pocket is essential for my mobile, particularly when I’m out walking or gardening.

Another vote for Robell - very comfortable and fit well - lots of colours too.

Mel1967. I’ve had a lot of reasonably priced trousers with flat fronts and no pockets from M&S. They have them in all the time I think.

I miss pockets when I wear my elasticated waist ones. I have had side zips but agree these are not always easy to manoevre.
I love pockets where I can put tissues and lip balm!

White Stuff or Damart?

Joseann Wed 08-May-24 12:51:33

I saw the Robell ones in various styles yesterday in a shop. They looked nice.

I like Boden for trousers

yogagran Wed 08-May-24 12:48:09

I have to have pockets!

Robell trousers have lots of different flat fronted styles without pockets and the quality is excellent

Bluedaisy Wed 08-May-24 11:47:27

Robell from me too. I only wear their trousers and have in lots of different colours and styles. Go on their website ‘so simply.com’ .

I bought some M&S pull on trousers for about £17. No zips or pockets. They are stretchy. Very good value and look fine.

Possibly Mark & Spencer could be a wise retailer to check out.

Also, possibly Amazon.uk

Roman have some. I agree the side zips are more flattering.

aggie Mon 06-May-24 13:53:25

I had a side zip skirt , I had to zip it the haul it round , I could never zip it at the side , so side zip trousers would be impossible

MiniMoon Mon 06-May-24 13:51:50

Should have said that my Cotton Traders pull ons have elasticated waist and no pockets.

MiniMoon Mon 06-May-24 13:50:07

I bought a pair of side button corduroy trousers from Landsend. It was quite a while ago so I don't know if they are still available.
If you want jeans type cotton pull on trousers Cotton Traders and Damart have some good reasonably prices pairs.

Curtaintwitcher Mon 06-May-24 13:43:55

I don't know if it's just me, but I find trousers with a side zip difficult to get on and off. I have only one pair, but rarely wear them because it's such a struggle every time I go to the toilet.

Bixiboo Mon 06-May-24 13:38:58

I always buy Robell trousers, they seem to be the only ones I can find that are flat fronted and most of their styles are without pockets.

Katyj Mon 06-May-24 12:55:12

Following exactly what I’m looking for too.
