Maxi Trousers....what do you think?

12 replies

SeeJaneKick · 03/03/2011 17:13

Do you like them? Are they any good for pear shapes? I'm 5.7 and a size 14...I would be a bloody size 12 if it weren't for my c section flab....usually when I buy size 14 trousers they're too large on the waist but a size 12 is too tight on my abdomen.

So I have to go for a 14 and wear a belt...I am a 12 on top....flattish chest....would maxi trousers look any good on me? My waist is still quite small really..bottom is in good shape at least! Grin .any suggestions please?

What about shoes? I want something wearable for day to day...

I have never seen or heard of maxi trousers!

TBH I think you run the risk of looking v e r y middle-aged. Is this a great look?

DonaAna · 03/03/2011 17:22

OMG, it gets worse - look!

TragicallyHip · 03/03/2011 17:24

Oh god they are wrong!

Lol Dona those aren't Maxi Trousers! Not the ones in the 1st link....I can't see the 2nd ones.

I will find a proper pair.

I can see there are 2 camps in this

Those that think they're gross and those that like them. Tbh I can't see why they're much diff to a Maxi Skirt! You can barely tell they're trousers...and they're hardly middle aged! They're on runways and in "young" shops.

I love them. When I'm thin....

tulpe · 03/03/2011 22:52

Surely they are palazzo pants?

amothersplaceisinthewrong · 03/03/2011 22:55

Nah, won'[t be wearing them. Wore them circa 1974 the first time round.
