Linen trouser aficonados. THis year is the year you RESIST

[MikeRotch]

please dear god

Is it that time already? Cod always seems to reappear with the longer days, birdsong, etc. Any day now she'll be recommending blouses from M&S or Debenhams.

Oh I love them, much better than middle aged women swishing about in boden summer dresses/skirts.

answer the queation dammit have just ordered linen trousers from dorothy perkins

thank fuck i started the diet early this year runs off to burn last years drawstring monstrosities

I can't believe you recommended cargo trousers

Just no. No no no no no. They were briefly fashionable c. 1997, but they're not any more. Get over it people. And wearing them with chapped heels and pastel coloured tops does no one any favours.

Stop it

I am loving my skinny cargos they look fab with flats and heels Bloody hell at this rate you lot will have left me with NO SUMMER WARDROBE!!!!!!!!

noddy do you buy all your clothes in french connection?

i will be mostly wearing bright trews from zara

Agree re: no linens.

But skinny cargoes? NO, no, no. Crime fashion. Even if you paid a one-er for them they look like New Look bargain bucket.

controlpantsandgladrags i want to hear the answer to this too!!!!

Maybe if you link to a picture I might be convinced, because at the moment I'm envisioning this

what about these quite like the blue and the pink

skinny cargoes look ossom wiht THIN LEGS
and me and noddy have great legs

I buy very little in FC actually! Have slim cargos from last year gap and asda!

How are those cargo trews? Where are all the pockets?

Those aren't I was just suggesting them for summer. Skinny cargos have pockets but different cut. I like them for spring and summer shoot me

So what the hell am I supposed to wear if not linen this summer?

No to cargoes. Sorry. The pockets and detail and all the fuss is ghastly.

So what about those of us without thin legs? Linen trousers and knee length skirts seem like my only options. Too hot here for jeans.

pockets on trews and cargo pants have a 10 year old boy limit. Anything else is disturbing

Okay, because those are cut, for the appropriately sized leg

I ordered a linen dress from ebay which I'm now fretting over...

now this is cute IMO.

That is lovely if you are elfin and boobless a la hepburn otherwise a bit prisoner cell block h

Isn't there an argument for just being comfy tho?

OP do you have an alarm set to go off for the first days of spring where you come on here and say:

• scrape shite skin of yer feet
• don't wear linen trousers
• wear blusher AND bronzer

I loathe linen trousers. They make you look elephant of arse, especially when they are cropped and worn with ballet slippers or clarks sandals.
