Linen Trousers " the acceptable face of jogging bottoms"

[Dogsby]

its true. and i KEEP seeing them on baggy arsed mums. WHY do you think you look nice in these? Get yourself some capris or something, You are one step away from Anne Harvey

lol at baggy arsed women

I have a few pairs , they haven't surfaced yet this yr.

the same baggy arse mum who thinks a white stuff Bongo Beat dress is de rigeur

i am wearing black linen trews today

i don't have a baggy arse yet though

black
they are the wooden spoon of the linen trouser world.
never black, always a mess.
desist bernardo

lol @ wooden spoon

to be fair all i've done today is weed the garden

but are they really that bad? I don't like white ones, surely they are more wooden spoon? esp when you can see pants through them

worse if you can't see any pants
bleurgh

are you GINORMOUS?
it was when muy MIL started reffing them as a sign of her with it ness that i KNEW they were doomed

Am thinking thong-on-show style

you musnt wear them

Oh shit

I look a darn sight worse in capris. Honest.

3/4 length primark ones are savage. I don't care if they are only 2p, they are trouser chavness.

I hate the "white stuff look". Dress thing with white long sleeved t-shirt underneath, linen trousers full or 3/4 length, birkies and a long necklace.

I do however own 2 pairs of recently purchased capri trousers

i spent ages looking for nice linen cardi today
ALL of them had either hanky wanky hemlines or those massive sleeves ,can't remember what you call them.
So annoying

3/4 linen ones are hideous I agree also

I wear my linen ones to work. Am not allowed to wear denim, but have to be comfortable. No one gives a shit what you look like really in a detox clinic

I have navy linen ones for work and I look fab in them ( sticks out tongue)

Ok, but I look passable. Otherwise it's a skirt or dress with either bare legs ( cold and wet here) or opaques, which look stupid in late may

Capris, bf jeans rolled up etc all very well nut not suitable for many workplaces.

I hate them too. For some reason I thought they looked okay on me but realised that ten mins in and I am always a crumpled baggy assed mess. I put mine in the bin this week.

And neither my arse nor my trousers are baggy

I don't like linen anything actually - it always goes baggy and shapeless in no time.

I like baggy and shapeless. Goes with my face. And brain.

sorry, but capris are not a decent alternative. If you are not 5'10", French and have calves like Pippa Middleton, then you look like a refugee from the Cotton Traders catalogue.

I have several nice pairs of linen trousers (from Primark, natch) full-length and sit below the waist. I maintain they look ok. I am size 8 but have legs like a East German shot-putter.

I am only 5'6" and most definitely do NOT have calves like Pippa Middleton...

The Capris look alright though

My calves are ish- it's my thighs that make capris look awful. My legs taper too much to get away with it.

I am hourglass shape, calves are in alright nick, thighs a bit blobby but ok covered up...

I mean, what alternatives are there? I hate shopping for trousers, I find it so hard to get anything decent

Leggings but only with dress or tunic top but can't wear that combo atm as breastfeeding
