Where to find loose fit high waist pants.
Hi, I'm new here. (sorry in advance) I think google is just feeding me quick fashion sites like temu, amazon and shein. I'm looking for essentially this see photo, but its high waist loose fit pants. I cant seem to escape 100% polyester land and temu equivalents. Any help, sorry if this is not how to ask a question.
I'm in Massachusetts, United States.

There's a lot of options, what's your budget?
i think i'd be willing to go as high as $150 but would prefer around $100. I'm so new to fashion though that I'll accept info dumping too.
(i'm trying to escape black straight fit slacks and black mock neck phase)
With that budget I suggest secondhand or ssense sale section tbh
Are you looking for something where the hem is wider than the thigh or knee? Straight fits are far easier to be thrifting but getting even wider can be a little tricky with your budget
But like @jawntanamo_bae 🥀 said, secondhand via Grailed or eBay or SSENSE sales is probably your best bet
gottcha, i'll browse ssense. I found something similar on PHIX at $245 which i'm tempted to just get (i'll post a link at the bottom). Although would prefer cheaper. I'm kinda just starting to figure out everything and don't really know whats expected.

Imo pants and shoes dictate more of the vibe of fits than tops do these days; maybe shift your budget accordingly
You can probably get way better quality than this (especially if your measurements are the ones I see when I open the link- 34/30- which are pretty common measurements) for this price
Especially if you’re patient on the secondary market
yah, 34/30 currently but almost 33/30. been dieting. what would you recommend for secondary market besides whats been said, ebay, grailed and ssense.
Casatlantic may be up your alley
Also consider sizing up on pants that have a drawstring — you can often cinch those far tighter and it can really help with looser fits
therealreal has a very good and easy to use setup of filters and occasionally has very nice things priced comically low
This might be a good space for you @Faraven

Pants
Independent boutique presenting elevated pieces from international designers through a particular mix of influences.
You can squeeze out a bit more budget if you try proxying from Mercari/Yahoo Auctions JP
assuming you're in the US it's like $20 shipping if it's only the one pair
ymmv depending on measurements though
also: are you looking for trousers specifically (like in the image) or pants with this sillhouette more generally
at the moment, yes
basketcase gallery has a trouser model called the Caldwell that could fit what you're looking for - but they do use a pretty heavy blend of synthetics (poly & viscose specifically)
BR Siena pants
I’d say you should be open minded to having some synthetics in the fabric tbh
It’s difficult to get a certain kind of drape without synthetics, and if you do, it’ll certainly cost you a ton
Check out mfpen tbh
I was gonna rec them but op seems like they want to wiiiiiiide
^the natural options are kinda restricted into wool/cotton gabardine, linen and tencel
latter two are slightly cheaper but not really year round trousers for the value
I been really considering some mfpen pants for myself lately
someone looking for wide pants? I'm activated
this is a really fantastic option
More options that arent exactly the same cut or budget but you might find stuff you like!

Here are some inspo albums I made on wide fits. I would love to be able to recommend Anglan because of the price, but I have had some serious issues with their quality across almost everything of theirs I own :/
And here is where I post lots of my personal favorite pieces including lots of wide pants

SS daley is great but you’re unlikely to find this pant in your price range
Similarly Evan Kinori or JJVE are unlikely to hit $150
These pants feel like shit and look ok, pick your battles
There are a ton of high waisted pleated pants out there if you dig in wool, wool blends, cotton, etc and even 100% viscose, poly or triacetate that look good and drape well
not sure if these are not loose enough based on your example picture, if so then cos has plenty of options in your budget, sorry for german links

just need to check the size guide if they fit
I can recommend these. On me they look bigger and wider than on the product photos.

What are the pants in the original image?
ss daley @bishopcorrigan
Alexander Wide Leg - Black — S.S.DALEY
The Alexander trouser is inspired by 1920's spongebag trousers' of British public school uniforms. The double pleat fronted, wide leg trousers are the original S.S.DALEY signature, and have been sold since 2020. Made in Portugal 100% Brushed cotton Double pleat, wide leg 20° Wash
Yeah I can see why you were hoping for a cheaper option
I’ll be surprised if you find something satisfying under 200 though
im emphatically dislike these as a recommendation because they're pretty tapered through the knee/calf/ankle vs the OP
COS is a decent option
Harvesty (probably have to proxy but this is a great option)
BR Wide-leg siena pant https://bananarepublic.gap.com/browse/product.do?pid=580276022#pdp-page-content
lots of options on eBay and The RealReal if you're willing to dig and gamble on sizes
carhartt wip especially on sale
gramicci maybe but can be tapered
monitaly maybe
universal works but the quality is mid

The banana republic ones are close for the price

These are them. It looks like a temu equivalent and from searching if it’s a reliable site a lot of folks said no, some said yes

Sorry for wall of link
Yeah those are gonna be absolutely trash I guarantee it
Yah after looking at them I thought to myself I love the look but I know I can’t buy these
If they can’t even bother taking their own pictures you can safely assume they’re less than garbage
It’s just a literal scam no point in wasting your time and money
those are literally the same product pics from ss daley
abort
Definitely not legit
Yah, but that’s what started the hunt. It looks great but I knew it wasn’t real
closest option is basketcase caldwells for $200, buy them in black, but beware the fabric is ass
They’re not gonna give you what you want tbh
I’m not afraid of buying women’s clothing I’m just a bit weary of fitting for women’s clothing. I’ve read that pants are significantly more forgiving than tops
You need something with some body, the Caldwells have no structure
Yeah I have like 6 pairs of women’s pants
Extremely workable depending on the particulars
If you’re going for high waisted and wide leg it’s honestly hard to go wrong
Just make sure you’re measuring the right part of your waist if you’re buying online
Some of my women’s pants sit like barely below my belly button
That’s good to know, like I said I’m fairly new to fashion so any advice is welcomed
when i could fit into more of them i owned a bunch of women's pants :xd:
the ebay/depop/trr <$60 structured pants/trousers market is ROBUST
are they all gonna be as cool as the ss daleys? absolutely not
That’s amazing, I did an imagine search using the photo I linked and Google didn’t even give me this reference. It just kept giving me shein and temu then a bunch of women’s. Which I investigated the women’s. I’m just shocked I didn’t get the original
i will prolly just cop the daleys one day when theyre in my size and i can stomach the price
stick around tho happy to help
do yourself a favor and get ublock origin to blacklist those results lol
cleans up reverse image search a lot
I fucking knew you’d cook in this thread but I knew you were on a train and didn’t want to tag you
love u
Temu usually steals pictures from original site and produces something else based off of them
