no. but then i'm a pear-shape so they would look awful on me

lal123 · 01/10/2010 08:37

no

bintofbohemia · 01/10/2010 08:38

no

KristinaM · 01/10/2010 08:39

I wouldn't

But don't let that stop you mary

Lauriefairycake · 01/10/2010 08:40

Aged 20 and thin yes.

Otherwise as a fatty I would look like I'm going to the gym (or needed to)

And a touch ridiculous as an oldie - I bought a pair of grey harem pants this summer to wear like short leggings under a dress - I looked ludicrous so didn't wear them.

RunforFun · 01/10/2010 08:40

I think they would look awful on anybody slumb !

Lauriefairycake · 01/10/2010 08:41

Mary - you're all thin and tasty aren't you? If so wear them but wear them with a fitted jacket and shirt like the model as the contrast stops it being 'leisure wear'

seenyertoeslately · 01/10/2010 08:41

If I were wearing them, I wouldn't put my hands up as they'd be busy hiding the ugly crotch.

iamdisappointedinyou · 01/10/2010 08:42

well, you will notice that even the stick-thin model isn't showing her face while wearing these ... Grin

Lauriefairycake I love you, as I am not as tasty as I should be....

and let me clarify, I would not wear these even if someone offered me a Mulberry Mitzy for FREE.......

Guk, vom, blurghhhh...Grin Just wanted to check I wasn't out of touch with fashion reality..

Ha Ha Ha Ha Ha Ha Ha....um no.....Ha Ha Ha Ha Ha!!!

Anyone no matter how skinny/young/beautiful could not look anything other than a complete and utter WAZZOCK in those heinous abominations.

TotorosOcarina · 01/10/2010 09:36

No,

I'd look like Waynette Slob.

My little sister (17) would look gorgeous in them though, she can wear anything Envy

MollysChambers · 01/10/2010 09:36

God no. Not even for a bet.

SkylineDrifter · 01/10/2010 09:39

Those things are hideous - fat, thin or in between, they just shouldn't be worn in public. They look like there's a saggy nappy in there.

notyummy · 01/10/2010 09:40

No.

But at 38 I suspect I am not the demographic they are aiming for.

I may have worn them as a student (although I doubt if they would have suited me..)

SheWillBeLoved · 01/10/2010 09:50

It looks like she is wearing a nappy Shock

AuldAlliance · 01/10/2010 09:51

No, they are ridiculous.

Notyummy, do you mean you can't remember whether you wore them as a student? My student days were a bit of an alcoholic daze, but I'm sure I'd have remembered leaving the house in those things!

notyummy · 01/10/2010 09:57

LOL at auldalliance.

No, I just meant that if they had been around I might have worn them.

I did drink a LOT, however I do have vague recollections of most of uni and I am fairly sure I didn't wear them. I did, however, have a pair of black, short, dungarees...

Maryqueenofchocs · 01/10/2010 10:06

I wore a red and black large checked jumpsuit when I was 12 with white hoop earrings....it was HIIIIIIIIIIDEOUS - but then it was the 80's...Grin

Saggyoldclothcatpuss · 01/10/2010 10:14

Eew! They look like old fashioned bloomers!

...mind you, if you teamed them with sandal boots.....

No. Just No!

iwilldothis · 01/10/2010 11:14

No, not even if I was paid to wear them.

Alibabaandthe40nappies · 01/10/2010 11:17

God they are foul!

Yuck yuck yuck.

ForgottenTomato · 01/10/2010 11:20

why would yo want to own something the website saw fit to describe as: 'BAGGY KNEE-LENGTH JOGGING BOTTOMS'?

stillbobbysgirl · 01/10/2010 11:22

oh they are horrible! NO ONE would look good or cool in these - they look like a pooey nappy!
