Uniqlo’s ‘best ever trousers’ are under £35

A good pair of trousers is a wardrobe staple everyone needs and a key element of any outfit. Finding a pair that’s both comfortable and stylish can be a challenge, but we’ve spotted a design that ticks both boxes for less than £35 at Uniqlo. The Japanese brand is well known for its affordable and versatile staples, which are comfortable and easy to mix and match. These barrel leg trousers cost £34.90 and are great for making a subtle statement

The trousers have a mid-rise waist and a casual fit, with a wide barrel leg that provides space and movement. They come in black, off white, dark grey and dark brown, all versatile shades that can be incorporated into any wardrobe, and are made from a cotton-blend jersey that keeps them cool and crisp, with a touch of elastane for extra comfort.

Even though the trousers have a more casual cut, which makes them ideal for everyday wear, they can be dressed up for the office with the right elements and accessories. 

Sizes range from XXS to XXL, with regular and long options, but as they are unisex, it might be worth checking the measurements before ordering. While the unisex aspect might be a bonus for people who like to share clothes with their partners, it could also be seen as a drawback as clothes fit differently on male and female bodies.

Uniqlo customers are loving their trousers, with one saying: “Fantastic all rounder. Can wear for work or play, make smart or casual. The fabric is lightweight but holds its shape well and the colour is sharp.”

Another said: “Bought them as a present for my boyfriend, he loves them, he finds them really comfortable. I now want to also buy them for me.”

One shopper praised the way the trousers fit, saying: “I usually struggle to find fitting trousers due to my body being more wide at the bottom, but these barrel trousers were a game changer! even if it looks like it’s gonna make you look wider, not at all. It makes your figure look even better and they adapt well to any body type without being tight.”

Another confirmed they work on shorter frames, saying: “I had seen these cropping up over socials but was reluctant to try them myself due to being a short gal! I wish I had taken the plunge sooner! I tried them in store and the fit is just perfect, in every way. I wore them to work and had so many compliments (I left the office, walking on air that day!)”

A third shopper called them the “best trousers ever”, writing: ” It just fits and shapes your body so well, it’s incredible. A little larger for S size, but still fine. The material is very reliable, and the length is just long enough for average tall. However, there are longer versions as well. I can’t get over the coolness of its shape!”
