I am a 6'2", 225 pound guy with a 32" inseam and 34"-36" waist. I have tried many different styles of men's trousers and jeans with heels> Even going with a longer inseam didn't seem to really make the grade. I have had luck with Polo, Banana Republic, and the GAP, but nothing that really met my satisfaction.

Recently, I discovered a line of jeans and trousers from Lane Bryant stores in the US called "Right Fit." I went to the store, the clerk took my measurements and gave me some pants to try. The jeans fit me amazingly well so I tried the trousers and loved those too. I have never had better fitting pants that just look great with heels. (At least in my opinion, since I am still learning about fashion)

Both the pants and the jeans look to be of very nice quality and I know Lane Bryant was a solid label for plus size women when they were still part of Limited brands. But they have been spun off and are now part of the same company that owns the Fashion Bug chain (or as my GF calls it 'Fashion Slug') which is not known for quality.

I am not sure if they have Lane Bryant outside the US, but for those in the US, I suggest getting measured and finding your fit. The "Right Fit" line does not use the traditional sizing system, but rater a scale from 1-7 with inseams in short, average, and tall. A 3T fits me wonderfully with heels and a 3 Average is great for low heels or flats (or men's shoes.) Here is the link to Lane Bryant's site, specifically about the "Right Fit" bottoms:

I have heard that the calculator is less than accurate, but I know that there is a link to a sizing chart somewhere in the site. Also, Lane Bryant offers free shipping and runs pretty descent sales from time to time. The jeans cost about $40 US and the trousers about $50.

If there are other brands that do a similar thing, in bottoms for either gender, please post it.
