See, I have obviously reached the zenith of my S&B powers, perhaps I have identified a trend??

Cyb · 27/01/2011 13:58

DurhamDurham · 27/01/2011 14:02

I want to see the photos...I want proof.

I remember rara skirts and pedal pushers but not knickerbockers. Maybe the trend never reached the North? Or maybe it just hasn't reached us yet!!

DuplicitousBitch · 27/01/2011 14:03

Worked with someone once who bought herself a baby blue and gold brocade pair of knicker bockers and matching jacket, to wear to a wedding. She looked like the Prince from Blackadder.

Get your name down fast as they are LIMITED!

Cher Lloyd first in queue

Do the knickerbockers still come with a handy cod-piece? It would certainly save on carrying a handbag.

Meggles76 · 27/01/2011 18:32

Ha! We haven't laughed at M&S for a while though!

dexter73 · 27/01/2011 18:46

I had velvet knickerbockers with a matching waistcoat. I looked the business!(with my massive NHS specs and mad curly hair)

dexter73 · 27/01/2011 18:46

Mind you I was only 8 in 1981!
