    I would say Asda or Sainsbury's. They have a variety of sizes for men and women and are pretty good priced. Or if you have a Primark near you, them. HTH

    Tesco also do a good range of clothing. I buy my work trousers in there which need to be smart for the office. The cheapest I've seen them is £5! They do look quite cheap though but there are also some very nice ones for approx £15. (They also come in different leg lenghths).

    I buy my work trousers from Asda at £5 a pair. They are cheap and do the job.

    Marks and Spencers do some lovely ones for £15, I got one black pair and one grey pair, they aren't that horrible cheapy rough polyester either! They do some for £9.50 too whichare nice, but the fabric is not as good.

    All ladies trousers seem to be far too long for me. Do Asda, etc. do trousers in different leg lengths? I've een told to look at childrens' trousers - these are generally a bit too short for me.
