Best comfortable yet smart wide leg trousers for women

Gone are the days when we had to squeeze ourselves into tailored trousers for the office, due to past few years working-from-home we've all embraced elasticated waistbands and loose silhouettes.

But switching to stretchy options doesn't mean you have to forfeit style, numerous British retailers have proved that wide leg trousers can not only be super comfortable, but flattering and stylish too.

The only problem? Finding a top-rated pair still in stock. Marks & Spencer have numerous designs with hundreds of rave reviews that start at just £17.50 which are constantly selling out.

Meanwhile, John Lewis' hugely popular Jersey Wide Leg Trousers now come in a shorter version for summer, so you can wear the comfy design all year round.

We've curated 12 of the best trousers out there that you can dress up with a jacket or nice blouse for work; or dress down with a crisp white T-shirt, jumper, and trainers for a relaxed vibe.
