I ordered the olive green and they are fab, the fit is perfect for me (size 29, am a 12)c they look great are very comfortable and Dh says they make my bum look "delicious"! What more could you want.

Am thinking of ordering some more afterall if Dh complains I shal just wiggle my delicious bottom at him and all will be forgotten.

How are you styling them? I am particularly thinking about shoes...
Really want some but am worried they'll languish in a drawer as I won't know what to wear them with

ImpossiblyGlossy · 26/08/2012 16:33

I was looking for them on website. Couldn't find. Are they sold out

dexter73 · 26/08/2012 16:47

I think it was me!Blush I have them in olive and burgundy and they are indeed fab. Thinking of getting the grey too. Here they are ImpossibleGlossy.

honoraglossop · 26/08/2012 17:10

what's the olive like in real life??/ it looks almost black on my laptop, or is it greeener than that?

dexter73 · 26/08/2012 17:16

It is a green khaki colour.

NoComet · 26/08/2012 17:21

Any one know how big the 32 is??

Is it a proper big arsed M&S 16 or a stupid women don't have hips 16???

ImpossiblyGlossy · 26/08/2012 17:22

dexter73 · 26/08/2012 17:54

I think the 32 would fit a size 16 with an proper arse!

YoullLaughAboutItOneDay · 26/08/2012 18:12

Just how skinny are they? I am a 12 waist, but am ample of thigh, so closer to a 14 across that area. I often find that true 'skinnies' I just can't get on. (Recommendations also welcome from anyone with the same problem!).

MrsRobertDuvallHasRosacea · 26/08/2012 18:18

I have just bought the Next skinny cords in a deep berry colour...very comfy.

Not sure what I will wear with them yet.
Uniqlo had no cords in my size in store, and the stretchy coloured jeans gave me camel toe ( I am very tall)

Funny how MN has made me so aware of camel toe.

MrsCampbellBlack · 26/08/2012 18:19

Are they flattering Dexter - I tried some cords on in gap yesterday and lordy it was like a fight in a sausage factory.

dexter73 · 26/08/2012 18:26

I think they are flattering (otherwise I wouldn't have bought them!). How skinny they are I suppose depends on your proportions and what size you get. I am a size 12 and have them in a 29. They are skinny all the way down to the bottom of my calf and then they go straight down. They are also quite stretchy.

MrsCampbellBlack · 26/08/2012 18:27

Yes I think cords are too stretchy for me - I need rigorous encasing of my thighs [delightful]

I love that olive colour though

ImpossiblyGlossy · 26/08/2012 19:02

Wanted the plum in 29. Had to order 30. Think will be trop grand

lupo · 26/08/2012 19:47

Hi, If I am a 10 ( 8 in next jeans) what size shall I get please?

I would really like the grey. Thanks

Yama · 26/08/2012 19:58

Another question:

I am a small 12 - would a size 28 rather than a 29 be better do you think?

GoodHeavensNo · 26/08/2012 20:46

I like, but they look long...

Are they any good for shortarses (5ft3 in my case)?

NotMostPeople · 26/08/2012 20:54

Yes Dexter it was you I remember that you bought two colours, is the burgundy listed as pink? For those of you asking I don't think that they're super skinny, sort of straight ish from calf down I don't have particularly thin legs and they are perfect. I'm planning on wearing them with my pistol-a-likes and an oversized jumper.

I wish Uniqlo had shops in the north.

dexter73 · 26/08/2012 21:02

The burgundy I have is called purple. There are 2 purples, one is a bluey purple and the other is burgundy.

dexter73 · 26/08/2012 21:08

Yama - I think a 28 would be fine.
GoodHeavensNo - I am 5'7" so they would probably be a bit long for you but if you get them instore they will alter them free of charge.
lupo - not sure, maybe try a 27?
I have just bought these boots and they look good with the cords. I will wear them with tops/jumpers I normally wear with jeans.

Zwitterion · 26/08/2012 21:16

Right you lot - I've just put some olive ones in my basket and by the time I got to check out they'd sold out.

Who has my cords?

Just had to get grey ones instead.

Yama · 26/08/2012 21:25

Dexter - thanks. However, same as Zwitterion I put a pair in my basket, went to pay and they are out of stock.

Ach well, suppose I'm £30 up.

dexter73 · 26/08/2012 21:26

You didn't fancy the yellow then ZwitterionWink?

GoodHeavensNo · 26/08/2012 21:32

Alas I'm oop north and like notmostpeople said there are no uniqlo shops up here. Godammit.
