Hi, hoping this might be the right place. Trying to find a pair of comfy trousers for a gentleman in his 90s. Current trousers are suit style so quite loose, but are now too big, had thought m&S but they are all straight and trendy or suit style for £64 and really want easy to wash, dark coloured loose fitting trousers. They are for at home (doesn't go out) but wants to feel respectable. Looked at Debenhams, Tu etc but nothing, either very straight or quite tight fitting. He is frail , not overweight but doesn't want clothes clinging to him.
All advise appreciated! many thanks

Moss Bros do regular fit washable formal trousers for £29.95 upwards. My OH likes their wide range of prices and quality. He can't wear slim fit as he is elderly, too.0

Are these any good from M&S? Comfy, stylish, smartish?

Or Chums? My late Dad used to like their clothes.

Not as expensive as £64 and look smart and also, comfy. But then, I'm a woman so don't really know a lot about men's clothes. I just think it's nice when people can be smart AND comfy, whatever their age/gender.

Cotton Traders appear to have plenty of the sort of thing it sounds like you want.

Otherwise the above suggestion from M&S looks good and they appear to come in packs of two as well.
