To hate wide leg trousers

[Thomasina79]

first world problem I know!

I wore flared trousers first time round and swore I never would again! To me the wide legs look ugly, buy each to their own!

I’m quite tall and think they look nice on me, I’ve got a pair but I’m always slightly terrified of caching my foot on the fabric of the other leg when walking 😂
I don’t think I’d buy any more pairs for that reason but I do like them. Plus I do have to wear tights or thermals underneath them, they’re too flappy and cold otherwise!

I look fab in them 😁

I only wear skinny jeans & leggings, no matter what's in, I'm a short arse 5ft 3" & everything else looks like I'm dressing up in a grown ups clothes 😆Wide legged & straight look great on so many people but just not for me

I'm 5ft 3 and I love them. But have to get short length and a high waisted version.

Love wearing them with trainers and a baggy jumper. DH says I look like I stepped out of the 90s.

I do also like a skinny jean but my go to these days is a wide leg.

I like them. I'm 5'6" and somewhat top-heavy. They balance me out.

Same here, only I don't think of myself as short.
I'm not going anywhere near wide-legged trousers.

@UpMyself it must be working in primary school with 10-12 year old boys towering over me that's given me the impression 😆

i still wear leggings and oversized jumpers.
Or jogging bottoms.
I dont care whats in or whats out as long as im happy with what im wearing.
I dont like to follow trends or blend in i like being me.
Why blend in when i can stand out.

I can't find anything but wide trousers. They don't suit me as my legs are already wide. Every single clothes shop just has wide leg when I want straight.

That’s pretty much my work uniform! I’ve rediscovered loads of fitted tops and Bretons that have been languishing in cupboards unworn.

Not every fashion suits everyone. Indeed some fashions suit almost no one. YANBU for your opinion and not being a martyr to fashion.

Though it is not as bad as the 2018 or 2019 one of trousers being three inches too short, and you see the 'sheep' from time to time where the three inches were cut off.

I look great in them! But I'm 6 feet tall, inside leg 34 inches.

Those banana leg jeans are bloomin' hideous.

leg not log!

The other thing is they look better with a shorter cardigan then if I'm not careful it highlights my stomach itms

I love them but admittedly I’m on the tall side.
My big feet mean skinnies make me look like a golf club.

I like them but have nearly killed my self a few times, tripping over them when I go downstairs.

I first wore wide legs in the early 70s, we called them bags.
Then mid-70s we wore flares, not the same thing, you'd probably call them boot cut now but they were very tight at the top and very wide at the bottom.

I quite like them in summer, wide linen trousers can be flattering but I'm 5'8" and I think they look better on taller people.

With a high waist, they are fab on an hourglass shape, especially with heels. It all depends on your proportions. Some people look better with a slight flare / bootcut.

I hate them but for a different reason op, for me they are a total safety hazard! The number of times I've somehow got one foot stuck in the other trouser leg and tripped over... Scared to go downstairs in them, I think they look cool but I simply cannot!

Yes!!!! The only downfall to them?!

I’m 5’2” and chubby, I’ve just bought M & S short patch pocket flares and I love them ! Shoes with quite a chunky heel to give me a bit of height. According to my daughter who I trust to tell me the truth I look flippin’ fabulous in them ! Takes me right back to the 70’s and my fab flares

I wore them in the 70s and have no desire to wear them again. I used to nearly trip on them coming down stairs.

I'm happy still wearing my skinny jeans 😆

I am a similar size and shape and I have found a few pairs that I think look really good

Wide legs only in non-wet/windy weather. Narrower legs in wet/windy weather. I'm 5ft 7 ish but do think a chunkier shoe/heel underneath helps too.

I’m 5’8” and slim and can’t find a pair that don’t make me look ridiculous. I’ve tried on lots but just think I look like an idiot wearing them.
