For winter sports, Helly Hansen has it all, including bright blue, 3/4 length activity trousers for winter sports such as skiing, hiking and outdoor pursuits.
These are in size XL, which is suitable for size 16, or 35” waist. A length of 3/4 means that there’s enough stretch that they come down to just above the ankle, so you can wear them with winter socks, or they fit under a ski suit easily. The colour design means you can team it with almost any other blue or black and wear these trousers around the house or for running errands.
The LIFA Merino Knitevo 3/4 Trousers are made of merino wool outer shell to help wick away moisture but to also give a softness of fabric, and keep you warm. There’s an elasticated waist and no buttons or fastenings. There are panels on the back of the legs for managing sweat (great when you’re in the car too) and there are ribbed ankles which help keep the shape long term, especially as the material is really elasticated all over. These are lightweight trousers, but not the lightest on the market so you can wear them on their own or with a ski suit on top. They’re mega comfy though and I love this blue colour for the winter!
