White jeans????

Am thinking of getting \link{http://www.boden.co.uk/col.asp?segname=Women&styid=WC033&segid=6&gpname=Trousers&desname=Sassy+Jeans&gpid=23&gen=\these} in white. Am a size 14 at the moment.
Have heard that white is the big colour for summer (and I've just bought some green trainers which they'd look really nice with for the spring).
Opinions please!

Hope you wear a thong Cod Grin

cod · 14/03/2006 13:44

yes and get VERY thicvk fabric

MillionDollarBaby · 14/03/2006 13:44

PMSL did Cod just flounce(?)

Think...

Shabba Ranks
or
80's catalogues/Principles stores full of white jeans with tapered legs paired with navy and white slash neck 3/4 length sleeve cotton jersey tops
or
my mum

...no no no...

Surely that is enough to put you off??

White trousers would look much better in a lovely elephant leg made in cotton or linen or something like that.

I am a child of the 80's - I rather like that look!
Am going to go through this month's InStyle and see what they say.
(am agreeing with cod)

cod · 14/03/2006 13:49

MillionDollarBaby · 14/03/2006 13:51

Me too Olive...

You all have permission to slaughter me if I'm posting in July along the lines of "Just bought a pair of fab white jeans" I'm so fickle!

I probably should add that I have never bought anything from Boden, ever.

cod · 14/03/2006 13:51

oh i see! oh well ok

( still dont mind htem though)

mine are kinda strtchy cotton

thcik wasibtand

there was t hread on them will find em

MillionDollarBaby · 14/03/2006 13:51

Yes cod, white trousers fine.. white jeans - no

not for me anyway!

cupcakes · 14/03/2006 13:53

I thought that initially but then thought if I was going to get white trousers wouldn't jeans be more flattering - thicker and a better 'hold'?

OP posts:
cod · 14/03/2006 13:55

hmm look at ones wiht lycra ina dna ncie thick material

boden dont fit me so ever buy formt here

fimbo · 14/03/2006 13:55

Cod your trousers must thick to avoid vpl, jeans would avoid it surely.

desperateSCOUSEwife · 14/03/2006 13:56

fimbo gussets still show through jeans
no matter what color

cod · 14/03/2006 14:01

yes it is

Jackstini · 14/03/2006 15:39

No Cups - go for white linen and nice white thong - much more flattering

cupcakes · 14/03/2006 17:00

I am probably not going to buy jeans now. Will get crops instead or look round for trousers.
Definitely nothing that requires a thong! Has to be boy shorts (I would say 'or nothing' but that really isn't going to happen).
