Shoppers rave about linen trousers that are ‘flattering on stomach’

Fashion fans are praising a chic pair of linen wide-leg culotte trousers from Roman, for their flattering silhouette and airy design. Priced at £38, the trousers feature an elasticated waistband for comfort and are made from a soft linen blend – ideal for warm summer weather.

There’s a variety of colours to choose from, including white and neutral tones such as black, stone and navy, available in sizes small, medium, large and extra large. However, the black shade isn’t available in small, and the navy and stone pairs are not in stock in the medium.

The model sporting the white pair complements them with a sleek black top and matching chunky footwear. These culottes are a hit among Roman’s customers, boasting a perfect five-star rating, reports Wales Online.

One shopper said: “Love the fit, particularly the waist – flattering on the stomach! Don’t normally go for linen as it creases, but this blend is good.”

Another added: “Very comfortable. I had to go down a size. They are great for travel or casual wear, a nice cream colour with pockets.”

However, one shopper wasn’t impressed, commenting: “These wide-leg trousers have a wide shirred waist, which I was not keen on, and very wide legs; they just didn’t suit me at all.”

For those seeking a snugger silhouette, it might be better to opt for straight-legged styles over the wide-legged kind. These Pure Linen Tapered Trousers can be snapped up for £45 from M&S.

Offering a variety of lengths including extra short, short, regular, and tall, these trousers have a modern tapered look, and a high-waisted design with an elastic section at the rear. They are available in a range of different colours. 

Back to Roman’s trousers, another customer said: “I love these culottes. Great colour, a great fit and beautiful material. I will probably buy the white ones as well.”

Another concluded: “I absolutely love these trousers and will be ordering more in other colours. The material is soft and the cut is flattering and so they look good but are extremely comfy to wear. Cannot recommend highly enough.”

For a pop of colour, these yellow linen trousers are another good option. The £65 Nobody’s Child trousers are stitched with oversized pockets and a soft drawstring waist. The wide-leg trousers are designed to slightly skim the body for a breezy and laidback look. Choose from sizes 4-18.
