Next shoppers say £38 trousers are ‘flattering and hold you in’

Finding workwear that’s both chic and figure-flattering can prove challenging. However, if you’re hunting for professional pieces, Next might have exactly what you need.

The high street giant stocks an extensive selection of smart garments, including the £38 Smoothing Ponte Jersey Wide Leg Trousers. They’re offered in petite and regular fits and in black, black pinstripe, and navy pinstripe options.

Essex Live reports that the bottoms have a flattering wide-leg design and internal mesh panels for firm all-day support.

They also showcase a sleek waistband and are crafted in an effortless pull-on design. For a polished yet comfortable ensemble, you could pair them with loafers, like Next’s £36 Chunky Loafers.

The trousers have earned a 4.4-star rating across 129 customer reviews.

One delighted buyer commented: “Very smart and comfortable trousers. I’m thinking of getting another pair in a different colour.”

Another customer noted: “Beautiful trousers and lovely material. They hold you in at the top, I love them.”

A third reviewer gushed: “I love these trousers, they’re flattering and have a great waistband that doesn’t dig in – I have them in each colour. They wash really well and don’t need ironing which is a bonus!”.

Despite being well-received overall, some buyers raised concerns about the sizing and fit: “These trousers are of good material quality. But they are way too long and wide.”

Elsewhere, Boden offers the Belgravia Ponte Trousers. Priced at £89, they come in a variety of colours, including black, charcoal grey, carmine red, navy, chestnut, and hunter green.

For those on a budget, New Look has the Wide Leg Jersey Trousers priced between £11 and £16.99. These trousers, designed with an elasticated waist, are available in black, dark grey, camel and khaki.

They have received a 4.5 rating based on 99 reviews. “The fit is perfect, the quality is nice, and the trousers look stunning on,” commented one satisfied customer.
