So lavender jeans - what do we think?

[MrsCampbellBlack]

I am loving this look and have seen similar in new look/topshop - anyone going to try it this spring?

Oh and I'm not 18 or 5ft 10 before anyone says that I need to be to wear them

Gorgeous, but if you are older than 18, bigger than a size 6 and have anything less than 36" inside leg. NO.

Love em

I think it is a very young look but would have to see it on an older person to see if it works.

Lizzy you monkey

Am convincing myself they're very nearly like blue or grey and I love that colour.

I tried the new look cheapy versions today and they looked pretty good I think [delusional]

God - I am an older person aren't I?

If you can wear white jeans (and I know you rock em, MrsC) then you can wear lilac.
My thighs would be beyond thunderous in those babies, but I have the shred and hope in my heart that one day, one day...

Me too - 38 !! The trouble I have is that my dd (14) and all her friends wear coloured jeans so I would feel a bit like I am trying to dress like a teenager if I wore them too. My dd bought a lovely pair of jade green skinnies from New Look today and I would love to have a pair but would look a bit tragic in RL, I think!!

I was torn between that colour and electric blue today. Went for the blue.
I am 40 and size 12. If I like it I,wear it.

Love that look, especially with the scarf. So nice for spring/summer when you want to wear summery clothes but the good old English summer doesn't quite allow.

Lizzy, I too am hoping the shred will be the key...

I want some raspberry or purple ones. I've seen some in New Look but they had every size but mine left

Oh I bought the red ones in NL today - nice fit and good cherry colour but shocking quality.

Must say am quite pleased by feedback - was expecting a resounding noooooo!

Thegoldroad - have you tried the leighs in topshop - very similar style although slightly better quality I think.

Did nobody else see this post and think scratch 'n sniff!!!

Yes there are threads hanging off everywhere but were less than £20.

Only for the young slim and trendy, so not a look I'll be tryIng sadly!!

Hmmm I liked the New Look ones cos they were cheap and cheerful. The topshop ones will probably be double the price. I will check them out though!

LOL @ being pleased with the feedback

I'm 34, slightly overweight and think I'm the trendiest alive. So that's me ticking all the boxes ok then

And I've really short legs

I will rock the look - wont I!?

I have some rust skinnies (Next ) and have had nowt but compliments, would just be worried with anything paler. I could be delusional though!

Henry, if we don't "phone it in", d'ya think we could go pale???

Oh I have grey skinnies as well.

I look awful don't I? 38, size 14 (but long legs!), 5ft 9"...

Bugger it.

I bet you look fab - gosh and its just jeans - I mean what are people going to do - point and laugh?

I like those. Age irrelevant imo if you look good in them. MN is obsessed with age and what you can and can't wear I have already been told this week that I am desperate to still be a teenager becasue I wear converse occasionally

I like that look but do feel a bigger bum might tend towards Judith Chalmersville if one isnt careful

I love them and really like the Donna Ida link. I think they have styled them in a way that looks entirely suitable for grown ups.

My legs are all I have left, mid-thigh down nowadays. Used to have the chest as well, children put paid to them, it's the middle bits that are all to pot.

I really like the lavender jeans, if I could, I would.
