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

[Slartybartfast]

unless you are stick thin

As an apple, they do the exact opposite to me. They make me look like a bumless wonder. A waist like the circumference of a planet and then.... nothing, just gently billowing material.

This is why I don’t own a pair. And I never shall

This thread has cheered me up. I now know that it's not just me that looks bloody awful from behind. Can't understand some of the reactions, surely it's better to know that they aren't flattering on anyone.

firstly I don't judge like that and would hate to be looking like that.
but....for the threads sake and answering...
no. ive seen thin woman with no ass and for some of them they look flat and empty.
ive seen some very very large woman with asses that looking bloody fantastic in them to the point I found myself coming up short for being shocked this womans ass looked fantastic in them!
ive seen patite woman look really yoga-ish and cool
and woman who look all French-esqu and chic
so half of it must be who they are and how they feel and that comes out in them.
but I hate having to even think like that because we shouldn't.
and more importantly they are the most fab trousers,sp comfy so flouty and lovely to walk in that we should all have a pair especially in this heat.they have pockets too.enough said.

My arse is the size of an elephants
Its too hot for jeans
I'm too short for maxi dresses/ skirts
I just don't care any more!

I think you do have to find the right pair for you so don't give up to all those saying they don't look good.becasue as much as we are all saying they are those floaty pants.they do come in so many shapes and fits.
my mum had to try so many on and was going to give up for all the reasons many pp have given.then she went to Debenhams and found some (yes more expensive)brand and they do look so cool on her.

Zoflora I'm off to matalan tomorrow! They're ace!

I have a large arse ( size 20) and couldn’t give a shit what other people think of my clothes choices. I know I have the arse of an elephant ( what a lovely non-judge comment - not!) but I wear the clothes I want to wear and am comfortable in.

If you don’t like certain clothes don’t wear them but back off criticising others for their choices.

I saw a picture of a lady who works in our local library stood next to the Bookstart mascot at an event run by the library recently. She had commented that her backside rivalled the Bear's. She's a tiny size 4 (I have her on Facebook and she was selling dresses recently), goes to the gym several times a week, and clean eats outside of treats and outings. If they manage to make her look full in the seat, they'll do it for anyone. (she looked lovely in them in case that came across as bitchy)
My arse if flat as a fart, and the picture made me want to invest in a pair once I'm no longer up the duff. I'm quite big enough at the moment without giving the illusion that parts of me are even bigger

Well, I can’t see my arse so it doesn’t bother me what it looks like. Love these pants, thanks for the links

Yes, they aren't a good look, especially from the back, even on someone with a "svelte" figure which few of us possess.

In fact, and in view of UK women are managing to top the polls as the most obese people in Europe, (just walk down any High st. and see it for yourself), I really don't think many women suit trousers anyway. Too few have the courage to use a mirror to try to observe their back view or they would faint at the sight of a sack-of-potatoes posterior the size of the iceberg that sank the Titanic......

I have some camoflage pattern ones, so nobody can see my plus sized arse in them! Not true of course. Well I do have the camo trews but I am under no illusions about my arse. I still think they look fine though, and just as importantly they are very comfortable, cool in the hot weather and practical.

Ralfeesmum, do fuck off with your fat shaming comment.

I like having a big arse, if I could relocate the fat from my arms, chin and maybe half my boobs to my arse I'd be delighted

What a strange thread to start 😬

ahem while my "posterior" may be sizeable enough to sink the titanic it is NOT a sack of potatoes but is in fact pert and round. and I resent the implication that all large arses are flabby and gross.

Size of arse does not directly equate to unhealthiness or obesity. while I accept that obese people probably do have large bums.

YANBU

They are hideous and make women's bums look fat. It makes me wonder if a lot of women don't have mirrors at home.

Tbf though I'm biased since I loathe the majority of fashion in the UK.

The styles that are popular here for young women would only be worn by women in their 60's or 80's back home.

LeighJ- where is back home? Paris? Milan?

When one has a fat arse ( i.e. Me ) then said arse will look fat in most things, I've yet to find the magic trousers that shrink your arse by half.

Actually, I like my fat arse. Don't think because someone has a fat arse that they don't like it. People pay to get an arse like mine, this one was free

We don't all want to be skinny you know.

Haha 🤣 here here to that well said

I don't have to look at my arse. If you devote sufficient time and scrutiny to my arse to be emotionally moved by the experience, or sufficient to be faux-internet-feeling-physically-sick... one of us has a problem and it's not me.

It's covered, it's comfortable and for something that follows me around serving no useful functions other than to sit on or shit out of - that's about all I care about about it.

I wear them. They make my arse look bigger. They’re comfortable and cool. I don’t actually care what you think.

YANBU. But you WBU to care. 😊 What's wrong with a big backside?

I own several pairs and I like them. They are comfortable, stop me from getting sunburnt legs, they have pockets, and I like how they look.

I like the ones which are elasticated at the ankle, because I am short and tend to trip over loose trousers. I don't have any flowery ones but I have a few pairs of hippy type ones which can be bought from ebay. This thread has inspired me to order another pair, thank you op

My arse isn't very shapely so I like that they make it look a bit bigger to be honest!

I've not seen them look good on anyone but have no issues with people wearing them as they look really comfy!!!

I bought a pair yesterday and I thought they felt and looked great but I may need to double check my arse out at home before I take the label off now.
