He'll on legs!!!

No body shape could manage that outfit, ever!

shellhider · 18/04/2017 14:16

I like them but not enough to actually wear them as long as they are not together.

PyongyangKipperbang · 18/04/2017 14:17

I quite like it! Its the sort of thing that you have to be terribly well groomed and effortlessly stylish to pull off though, so no chance for me!

Taytocrisps · 18/04/2017 14:19

They're quite nice as separates. But not together! And the shoes are awful.

ppeatfruit · 18/04/2017 14:25

Nice pair of pj's though! It's the 70s look back. There have been few threads about M&S losing the plot, desperately going for the yoof market !

Twigs is old enough to remember this look the first time round , like me!

GattoColorCioccolatto · 18/04/2017 14:30

It's a bad stab at a co-ord.

chastenedButStillSmiling · 18/04/2017 14:33

Benedikte2 - yes... spot on!

I was thinking of Gone With the Wind ("tear down those curtains"), but you've nailed it.

EllaNB · 18/04/2017 14:46

I am 26 and love the trousers! Very summery and would definitely wear them.

I would not match it with the jacket.

ppeatfruit · 18/04/2017 14:50

I thought that wide trousers are back in fashion now. They would look better wider, straight up and down, without the jacket.

originalbiglymavis · 18/04/2017 14:51

What is wrong with the back? It looks like a shop dummy when they put bulldog clips to make the front look good.

Trousers ok. Jacket ok. Together, not ok.

ppeatfruit · 18/04/2017 14:53

I went to M&S recently and managed to buy 2 pairs of decent (plain navy stretch jean type straight legs, not drain pipes) per una trousers so there is hope Grin

NevermetaGilesIlike · 18/04/2017 15:09

Christine Hamilton would surely approve 😁

Eye bleach, I need eye bleach. That takes fugly to a whole new level. Who do they think wears this stuff? It's hideous. Reminds me of something Victoria Wood would wear in the 80s...

Birdsgottaf1y · 18/04/2017 15:44

The shape of them are sold everywhere, for summer, including New Look, River Island and Matalan etc

They've tried to do a older version of the prints done in 'younger' shops, but it hasn't quite worked.

As separates, they're no different to most ranges across the high street.

It's a shame that they've put them together, because over jeans, with a kahki, pink or white top under it, the jackets fine.

DelinquencyMatters · 18/04/2017 15:46

Did no one have a suit like this back "in the day"? I'm "only" 45 and I did. Even then it was questionable.

Birdsgottaf1y · 18/04/2017 15:48

They've missed an opportunity by not being one of the only high street shops to put sleeves on their garments.

Birdsgottaf1y · 18/04/2017 15:55

""Did no one have a suit like this back "in the day"? I'm "only" 45 and I did. Even then it was questionable.""

In all fairness some of the 70's and 90's stuff in topshop was hideous.

There's some very dodgy looking metallics about, as well.

Clawdy · 18/04/2017 15:55

Yes, Twiggy's smile looks slightly manic. And if she can't look good in them, nobody can.

DelinquencyMatters · 18/04/2017 15:59

Birdsgottaf1y yes it was hideous then - I was young though so could get away with looking ridiculous. Laura Ashley did make lots of floral prints though. I even wore a bridesmaid dress by her in which I, and the other 10 or so looked like great swathes of curtain wear.

don't know if the link will work, but I'll just leave this here....

They are sold out because some poor souls believe Twiggy wears hers out to dinner!

Was there something about a donation to breast cancer research or something on the description?

DoNotBlameMeIVotedRemain · 18/04/2017 17:02

I actually like both trousers and jacket. That's why they are sold out. I doubt many would wear them together. Twiggy can get away with it just about...

stiffstink · 18/04/2017 17:02

I just keep visualising Jeremy Clarkson and James May in Vietnam or Cambodia when they had garish floral suits made.
