Shoppers are snapping up a pair of Roman trousers that are described as ‘a basic essential for every wardrobe’. They could be perfect for work, or they can be dressed up for a night out, making them a great addition this season.
The Full Length Elastic Waist Stretch Trousers are currently available for £26 and they come in three colours – black, dark grey and navy blue – and sizes 10 to 22. They are made with just the right amount of stretch for a comfortable and flattering fit, the site says.
Plus, being ‘full-length bengaline trousers’, Roman says they are perfect to wear with tops, tunics and dresses. The material composition is 74% viscose, 23% polyamide and 3% elastane, and they are machine washable, too.
As an alternative, Debenhams has these Paulo Due Stretch Elastic Waist Straight Leg Trousers for £23 in the colour black. They come in several other colours, sizes eight to 22, they are made from a stretch bengaline fabric, and they have a concealed elasticated waistband. The listing says these high waist, straight leg trousers are perfect for ‘every day at work, school and the office’.
At Next, there are these Friends Like These Black Sculpting Stretch Straight Leg Trousers for £27, which come in regular and tall fits, and sizes 8 to 22 – although some are currently out of stock. These are made from 77% viscose, 20% nylon and 3% elastane, and one shopper described them as ‘lovely trousers’.
The Full Length Elastic Waist Stretch Trousers have been rated highly by Roman shoppers who have given an overall average rating of 4.9 out of five stars from more than 400 reviews. One happy shopper said: “Not my first pair of these lovely trousers, but the first time ordering online. Fabulously comfy, smart, and perfect for work or a night out. Packaged well and delivered within the advertised time.”
A second said: “Lovely trousers. I like them that much I’m going to purchase the other colours. True to size and very flattering on.” While a third added: “These are the best trousers I’ve ever owned! I now own seven pairs – two black, two navy, one forest, one dark grey and now brown – and I also have five pairs of cropped (trousers) for summer. They are very flattering and hold your tummy and bottom in without cutting you in half, they are really very comfortable. Thank you, Roman.”
Others, however, left some feedback. One said: “Lovely trousers, but I didn’t like the feel of the material. I prefer a jersey material. They are nice trousers, but just not for me. I returned them.”
Another commented: “These full-length trousers are fabulous by design but are too long on me. I’ve returned them for the 3/4 length version, and they hilariously fit just fine!”
The Full Length Elastic Waist Stretch Trousers are available from Roman.
