I quite like them, unfortunately I haven't got the legs for skinnies. Envy

They are described as a trouser Grin

They are horrible.

You would take off in a gust of wind in those Grin

What's more worrying is - how can this cost £65. £65????? Shock

I was expecting to see the trousers fill with air or be flapping in a cross wind whilst the woman tried to avoid taking off like a kite in that video ..... very disappointed Sad

I love them, I have had several variations on this theme over 45 years of buying my own clothes.
I don't know if I could wear them now as I have lost the ability to wear heels and am a bit short in the leg with flats.
Such a glamorous feeling, worn with a fitted top with biggish sleeves, or with a halter top.
Nostalgic for my glamorous self as I channel a teenage boy with attitude and problems after my day on the allotment!!

It's not that I don't like the look of them, I do, but in practical terms I'd break my neck tripping over the hem if I tried walking in them.

I think they got the waist wrong. It looks loose and droopy on the model. It looks like an elastic waist when a more structured band with zipper would give a neater less bulky silhouette.

It looks like they've put her in a pair 3 sizes too big!

You are right about a more tailored fit.
I had a gorgeous pair of grey trousers like this from Chelsea girl, I looked like Katherine Hepburn or Marlene Dietrich

Katherine Hepburn is my style icon. So absolutely awesome. The better of the Hepburns!

They look unusual now, but I've worn something like this several times over the years.

Agree that elasticated waist is naff though.
