[MikeRotch]

please dear god

\link{http://loukiac.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/04/thongs-galore.jpg\This is the look I hope to achieve this year}

love these Don't care what anyone says (fingers in ears)

Argghh lol same link!

Apart from not eating lard obviously :o

How could you resist. They've even created an outfit for you, with a top and jacket at the bottom of the page.

I've got these in off white - lovely!

Agreed, they are vile.

Now I do like a nice pair of wide leg heavy cotton trews in the summer. The fabric is lighter than demin but at least keeps the buttocks in check. And they don't look like a dishrag after 10 mins.

I really don't understand why people buy clothes that are so spit-thin they look like you pulled them out of the laundry basket 30 seconds ago from where they had been living under a damp towel.

Yes FreeButtonBee. If I've ironed I want people to know

Give "pure linen" and "drawstring a wide berth (they will give you a wide berth).
"Linen blend" + "tailored" will render the trews passable, I think, for workwear.

love those ramona loafers

out of stock

I have fat legs and manage not to wear linen trousers. Ever. They would make Brigitte Bardot look frumpy.

Now, if we could just ban leggings too...

This is very very funny and great pics!
Also very pre-judgey. I'm guessing last summer left you lot with PTS (post-linen-trouser traumatic stress).
I have a pair of black linen 3/4 trousers, a pair of full-length bum-tastic sage green Jigsaw trousers I'm hoping to squeeeeze back into, 3 pairs of 3/4 length GAP chinos, and 2 pairs of the most gorgeous white cropped jeans that I will be wearing proudly with bright red toe-nails & flip-flops (and invisible well-fitting knickers underneath). I am lucky. I have a little bum, slim calves & ankles, and a full-length mirror.

My best ever ever summer trs are a much admired pair of (get this)) marks white jeans. They should be monstrous. They are brilliant.

[faints]

Gotta love white jeans I have a zara pair which I LOVE!

"They are brilliant."

Only in your head.

They do look good with a small bum and thighs otherwise I agree NO!!!!

Haha. I purchased a pair of cheaptastic black linen drawstrings in Sainsburys when I was in the UK last week. I was dead chuffed.

[unrepentant]

"They are brilliant"

Only in your head.

Comedy genius

A good pair of heavy weight, well cut linen trousers can look great. It's about getting the right pair for you.

disclaimer: The trousers have to be full length and have a waistband with a button and zip - not elastic.

You'll never get me out of my Birki's though.

they are strangely short of body and soft of cotton
me and nod love a white jean but we have ossom legs

what are ossom legs!!!!
I need to know in case i have them

profers a leg for inspection

thats proffer isnt it

Good grief you lot are mean!! Am I allowed to wear linen trousers if my top is long enough to cover my arse?
