Love them, I have 3 brown & 1 navy, wear with converse and they look fab!

aquavit · 22/10/2012 13:28

but therein lies the problem: they are comfortable because they give, ergo they get baggy in places eg arse knees you don't want baggy

am v tempted by the gap and M&S ones though

of course if you get the wretched boden skinny cords they give everywhere apart from around the waist because of the stupid hotchpotch cotton lining

i have wedge desert boots
the nice hting is also that you can wear a denim jackay with them

The Uniqlo cords don't go baggy in the knee. They stay nice and tight. I love mine too.

vintageviolets · 22/10/2012 13:36

Mine don't give, had them years and still look good, from

vintageviolets · 22/10/2012 13:45

Mine are all straight leg, I wear with converse, t.shirts, hoodies ect. Vintage style, navy, cream & dark brown.

Gap look nice - are they a very low rise?

aquavit · 22/10/2012 14:12

has anyone tried the M&S ones that are unfortunately called jeggings?

they look quite nice except in the sofa colours but I'm suspicious about bagginess and am nowhere near a uniqlo

cazza40 · 22/10/2012 14:14

I have the Next skinny cords and am really pleased with them - thay have not gone baggy at the knees - only problem with cords is they seem to pick ups so much fluff !

MaureenCognito · 22/10/2012 15:12

Get a 25
