Where to buy....

Hey.

Started new teacher training.

I have never had to wear "office" clothes and I'm struggling with trousers.

I'm after the following:
34" waist
Some kind if elastic on waistband (we all blob out when sitting)
Slim fit (no wafty legs)
Durable.

I'm struggling to find the above, I have been to lots of shops and tried various on but none seem to suit.
It's really annoying because I'm really uncomfortable all day and I'm being forced to wear this attire.

Any suggestions where I can locate something that fits ?

M&S ?

You can get reasonable looking trousers that are machine washable.

a shop that sells menswear.

I have been to a couple of "Mensware" shops and they had the elasticated bands but wafty legs. looked like i was wearing trousers made to hide stilts!

Teacher training is awful. Quit now and find a proper career. (I'm not trolling, just trying to help).

M&S active waist easy care trousers. Not a super slim fit buy I don't think you are going to find a slim fit with the other features you want.

as above M & S all the way, cant fault their stuff good wearing reasonably priced and the active waist range is just what your after

Going to teach our next generation of children, can't work out where to buy a pair of trousers... :eek:

M&S and get some ones that are stretchy so they don't rip

also get out of teaching unless you love it.

Diagro · 10 Sep 2016 at 19:53

Exactly these - the active waist ones are the ones to get.

Having bought loads of trousers for work over the last 10 years, you get what you pay for, and the M & S ones are worth it over supermarket or other cheaper trousers.

+1 for M&S. Decent selection so I'm sure you'll be able to find something suitable.

asda george - Teflon coated,Very good quality and always wash nice...oh and very decently priced too.

Proper mens outfitters, a good one will measure, listen to what you want style wise and pick you out something good quality that'll last. Itll be pricey but the great thing about quality is you can buy it. If your gonna spend 8 hours a day wearing something might as well be comfy.

Your teaching, so fashion isnt an issue, after all no matter what you wear the kids wont think your cool.

+1 for M n S active waistbands.
