I’m looking probably for the impossible!! Slightly wide leg linen blend trousers in navy … short leg length to fit a size 20 without looking stupid!!! Any tips?

Dont know if they still have them now, but I had some good linen trousers , wide legged from Seasalt. I was quite crafty at the time as these were meant to be those sort of 3/4 length trousers, so for me they were fine as a full length . Didnt have to take them up or anything. Perhaps a little higher than I would have chosen, but fine. They had pockets and washed well. They had various colours, but annoyingly they decided to only have up to size 18 in the shops, so I dont tend to go there now. However worth your while looking on line and seeing if there is something to suit you there.

They have some on the Cotton Traders website.

I bought some short-leg linen-blend trousers from Roman. They have an elasticated waist and are very comfortable. I'm size 18, but the size 16 fit better.

Not linen, just cotton, but this year I’ve got 2 pairs of wide - but not over-wide - navy trousers from Seasalt. I’ve had similar before and lived in them all summer (lasted 3 years.).

This year I bought an ivory-white pair, too - and a young* staff member at my David Lloyd asked me last week where I’d got them! She’d been looking for similar, not stupid-wide leg.
*probably at least 50 years younger than I am!

I bought these from amazon. They are a linen blend and very reasonably priced. I am pleased with them.
