Next shoppers snap up every colour of ‘slimming’ work trousers that ‘hold you in’

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

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

The high street retailer stocks an extensive selection of smart pieces, including the £38 Smoothing Ponte Jersey Wide Leg Trousers. Offered in petite and regular sizes, they’re available in black, black pinstripe, and navy pinstripe options.

These bottoms boast a flattering wide leg design and include internal mesh panels that provide firm support all day long. They also showcase a sleek waistband and are created with a convenient pull-on design.

To achieve a polished yet comfortable outfit, you could pair them with loafers like the £36 Chunky Loafers from Next. The trousers have earned a 4.4 star rating from 129 customer reviews, reports Essex Live.

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

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

A third buyer noted: “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 sizing and fit: “These trousers are good material quality. But they are way too long and wide.”

Meanwhile, there are the Belgravia Ponte Trousers from Boden. Priced at £89, they’re offered in black, charcoal grey, carmine red, navy, chestnut, and hunter green.

For a more budget-friendly option, there are the £11-£16.99 Wide Leg Jersey Trousers from New Look. Featuring an elasticated waistband, they’re available in black, dark grey, camel and khaki.

They’ve earned a 4.5 star rating from 99 reviews. “The fit is perfect, the quality is nice and the trousers look stunning on,” commented one shopper.
