Boden and, if so, does anyone have a code :)

they're not my kind of thing, but as i've seen them in a lot of shops, i'm guessing they are currently 'in'.

They're a bit 90s-looking. They're ok, but the pockets are eek.

I think they're lovely but they're expensive for what they are and you can get just as good alternatives for a fraction of the price.

Exactly what Charliefox said!!

If you're looking for a pair of nice skinny trousers, I saw these on asos. I had to send them back cos I can't really justify £50 right now, but they are really nice.

I have the Boden stitch detail trousers in coal and really like them. My legs are short and skinnies don't always work with me but I found them to be one of the more flattering pairs I've tried.

Nice muted colour too.

Thanks for that Phaedra11 - are they true to size? Many of the reviews say they come up quite big and I can't decide which size to go for. (I often find Boden sizes are quite tight on my fat apple shape tummy.)

I really like them. Get them. I would love to get them but am struggling with the idea of the combat-y pockets on the legs, on my already ridiculously pear thunder thighs. I may yet overcome the fear!

Phaedra11 · 18/08/2012 16:51

IMTPTF - I'm usually inbetween sizes with Boden so that size 10 are too loose but size 8 can be too tight around my waist. I bought the size 8 with these and they are actually a bit loose at the waist but comfortably so and not enough to go another size down! I think these are perfect for apple shapes.

lurkingaround - I might be kidding myself but I think the pockets on the thighs break up what would otherwise be just an expanse of thigh and makes them more flattering than the plainer skinnies I have. This is what I have chosen to believe anyway Wink

Thanks - I'm going to get them! And thanks for the code daisy.
