To think those loose flowery trousers that are so popular make even the slim look like they have an arse of an elephant?

Please do not compare wide hipped or overweight women (or men) to elephants.

You should see that my op did say even slim people look like they have large arses.

I like elephants. Fantastic animals. No problem being compared to one here.

Birdsgottafly · 16/07/2018 21:31

TeachesOfPeaches, don't stare at/watch Women's arses and the problem is solved.

Oysterbabe · 16/07/2018 22:13

I can't help but look at women's arses sometimes. There was a woman walking in front of me the other day and she had the most fantastic arse. Large and shapely, she looked sexy as hell. I tried not to gawp but couldn't help a but steal a few jealous glances.

Passthecake30 · 16/07/2018 22:18

I don't mind the arses the size of elephants but what I don't like is seeing the wiggling and juggling underneath these type of trousers.

So I've learnt to look away...

I'm small and flat of arse but I just couldn't subject the person behind to the wobbling of my flesh.

I love a tropical trouser and am a fat knacker. I mainly base my style on The Golden Girls so they're perfect.

I am in my 30's Blush

MrsPeel · 17/07/2018 17:31

Only the grey ones

FaveNumberIs2 · 17/07/2018 17:38

It’s people like you who make people like me question every clothing choice EVERY FUCKING MORNING!

Why don’t you just keep your insults to yourself and look the other way. We can’t all be super slim athletic small ass types.

lindyloo57 · 17/07/2018 17:42

i would love to have a big bum, , my arse is skinny.

PrimalLass · 17/07/2018 17:48

Why would you even start a thread like this? Is it fun to insult people?

Hassled · 17/07/2018 17:55

I have some. Damn, they're comfy. I so want to wear them to work - I'm thinking with a block heeled sandal and a nice shirt it'd be fine, and I really don't give a shit what my arse looks like. But then some "Pyjamas! You're wearing pyjamas!" siren goes off in my head and I put on dull trousers instead.

Justanotheruser01 · 17/07/2018 17:56

I look like an heard of elephants in
Mine and give zero fucks

serenajneedsashag · 17/07/2018 17:58

Elephant arses are wide and saggy.
Yes, the flowery trousers aren't a good look.

But, are we talking tapered or wide bottomed? Confused

serenajneedsashag · 17/07/2018 18:03

I love my big bum (fat arse) and work on making it bigger every day (squats for life 😁).

What happens when the Kim Kardashian fat ass goes out of fashion? Which, according to certain fashion quarters is happening already.

What will happen to all the pumped up asses? Will they deflate?
Will the skin have stretched so much that thousands of girls will have to have excess skin removal?

So many questions.

UneMoonit · 17/07/2018 18:06

These are marvellous leveller for people who have been blessed with more than the standard issue amount of arse.

I hope the fashion spreads and continues for many years to come. Grin

serenajneedsashag · 17/07/2018 18:09

I don't think OP is planning to put together some kind of Militia to round up the floral pyjama wearers in the streets.
I do have a couple of pairs but am WELL aware my backside looks like my Nan's sofa in them.

Grin
shinyredbus · 17/07/2018 18:12

Jesus Christ - who cares! You don’t like them? Don’t wear them! Let’s others who like them wear them without insulting them - maybe?

WaxOnFeckOff · 17/07/2018 18:16

I'm freezing, I've had a jersey on today and a jacket

holey · 17/07/2018 18:17

It's floral everything I have a problem with. Anything with an overly floral pattern I avoid like the plague. Small flowers spaced out with plenty of plain background is fine. Any big flowers or little flowers that are too close together I hate. My mum knew from me being 8 or 9 to never buy me a floral dress! Not an elephant arse issue, just a question of disliking overly busy prints.
On another tack altogether, my arse has shrunk. Early menopause at 43, now 45 and previously elephantlike arse is no more. Not saggy, just gone! Something to do with lack of collagen, Google said. Just as I was becoming fashionable as well!

Lancelottie · 17/07/2018 18:18

I've just bought some after reading this thread.

God they're comfy. Thanks, OP!

serenajneedsashag · 17/07/2018 18:18

I hope the fashion spreads

Pun intended? Grin It will most surely spread (and drop_

serenajneedsashag · 17/07/2018 18:21

I have three few pairs. Two definitely have the ''you're wearing pyjamas' look about them. Thanks son!
The other pair aren't too bad but I caught sight of my arse and it looked like two pigs fighting underneath a blanket.
They're comfy, however I have NO delusions that I look good in them.

Kintan · 17/07/2018 18:29

How nice to know that when I am going about my day wearing my super comfy trousers, some mean judgemental woman is comparing me to an unflattering animal description!

serenajneedsashag · 17/07/2018 18:33

Lighten up Kintan. It's not just meany women judging. Grin My son wanted to know why I'm wearing my pyjamas.
I wear mine! I wouldn't wear them out to a meal or a special occassion, but round the house and shops and general out and about, they're great.I don't care what they look like. They're comfy. Even though my arse does look elephantine in them.
Heck, we're even in fashion, apparently Hmm

Growingboys · 17/07/2018 18:34

YANBU

I think everyone would stop wearing them if they could see their rear view
