does anyone like them ?

My Dh and children laughed at me, and said "where's your horse?" Grin

They are really soft, baggy (the sizing is huge) and have an almost jodhpur/harem pant shaping

so comfortable

love love love AF

love most of the stuff in Zara atm.

1234ThumbWar · 22/09/2010 09:25

Love them and am most Envy as they'd look daft on me with my post pregnancy tummy (my baby is 7 yrs old btw).

Kate Kanzier has some lovely brogues that would look great.

Love them.

Bought some Zara trousers for week the other day... fabulously long in the leg and perfect for me.

I'm tall too AF.

TracyK · 22/09/2010 10:36

Are they navy or black?

AnyFucker · 22/09/2010 14:23

oops tracy, the link I gave shows the navy ones, but I have the beige

there is also khaki, but I already have some similar khaki roll-up ones from Gap I bought in the spring

lol

v nice

ladylush · 22/09/2010 20:56

I like them AF but I couldn't wear them. Am the same height as you but a pearshape hourglass and I think they'd look bloody awful on a woman with HIPS.

GinoGinelli · 22/09/2010 20:59

mingoid

deaddei · 22/09/2010 22:04

Well I looked a bugger in them.
Tried on a great jacket with shoulder pads and puffed sleeves- so tight across bust.

AnyFucker · 22/09/2010 22:19

I don't have hips, and am broad shouldered so hopefully they are ok on me

I could never wear padded shoulders, never mind that I already did in the 1980's ! Grin

AF I have ordered these in navy, couldn't size down as no stock so ordered a 12 and will see how they fit.

Zara website is shite though, there was a dress I wanted too but couldn't get size drop-down box to appear, tried it on ipad and same, even downloaded zara app but no joy.

AnyFucker · 22/09/2010 22:43

they are massive HEA, honestly

OP posts:
LetThemEatCake · 22/09/2010 22:46

what size AF?

AnyFucker · 22/09/2010 22:49

I bought a 10, am usually a 12

even the 10 is a lovely, loose fit

but I am hipless with a straight up and down shape and flattish tummy

they sit very low on the hips, and in the crotch too, more so (on me anyway) than the website photo suggests

they are almost harem-like IYSWIM, but with roomy pockets which I like as I like to slouch with my hands in 'em

LetThemEatCake · 22/09/2010 22:52

I might give e'm a whirl in navy. I am kind of slimmish now, 8-10 (dc3 is 1 this weekend so it's about time) so will try both sizes perhaps. We are similar heights I think, 5'10ish?

I too like slouchy pockets Smile

AnyFucker · 22/09/2010 22:54

blimey...you will need an 8, I think

kind of slimmish ?? I think you must be very slim

I am 5 ft 10 and weigh over 10 stone, size 10-12

Oh dear AF, sounds like mine will be too big then. I am an hourglass 12 so maybe my hips will fill them out

My Nike ones are a similar fit and I had to have an 8 in them but they are still very roomy and flattering.

Can always return them and hope they get smaller sizes in meantime.

LetThemEatCake · 22/09/2010 23:00

yes, same height. Nice one. Will report back!!!

thanks AF.

did you order online or in store? if on store, did you see the camel-coloured reindeer Xmas type sweaters. I really loved them. Is that wrong dyt???!!

by the way. are you following my blog?? would love it if you did [http://thefrockaholic.blogspot.com/ here] Smile Tell me what you think if you do.

LetThemEatCake · 22/09/2010 23:01

sorry here

AnyFucker · 22/09/2010 23:02

hmm, prolesworth, I am long of leg too

sometimes trousers labelled extra long, or 34", are too long for me though (I must have a long torso too)

the bottoms are cuffed and sit just on my ankle

however, they are quite slim on the calf, so will tuck into boots and socks when the weather gets colder Smile

On the subject of harem-boot combos, I think J-Lo looks great here hellooogorgeous.onsugar.com/Celebrity-style-Jennifer-Lopez-harem-pants-2985935

I'm not sure many could pull this off but she looks fantastic.

AnyFucker · 22/09/2010 23:17

good lord, they are very harem

the zara trousers are much less so
