thought i'd share, picked them up yesterday, was reticent of elasticated waist, however they sit very well and slouchy. Look fab with heels or shoe boots... am very happy.

trousers

Excellent. Have them ordered and now can't wait for them to arrive!

CointreauVersial · 11/01/2013 19:09

Hmm They don't look like slimming trousers, but I believe you.

What sort/length of tops will you wear with them? What shoes??

madammecholet · 11/01/2013 19:32

Am going to wear them tomorrow night with plain black silk t shirt, Monica vinader black & gold drop onyx earrings and black suede teeteringly high platform shoe boots & a black croc clutch... Plus a black blazer so I don't freeze. Hoping the earrings will be show piece and trousers being sl

Gah, hate iPhones...

Being slouchy will dress down the overall look ;)

I don't know...are you sure? I certainly believe you, but I imagine my arse would look like a flopped binbag in those.

PretzelTime · 11/01/2013 19:44

They really look like polyester sweatpants. Is that trendy now? (genuine question)

Are there pockets on the bum?

Chocamochalatte · 11/01/2013 20:06

They look like they'd make me look humongous!! I can't imagine them looking good on anyone over a size 10 Hmm

madammecholet · 11/01/2013 20:07

Yes, I suppose they are polyester sweatpants and no, no bum pockets... I think!
Trust me, they are ver flattering. And I am a complete fuss pot ;)

Really? Does the material look cheap and shiny in real life or nice shiny?

If you know what I mean!

FellowshipOfFineFellows · 11/01/2013 20:11

Are they not just MC Hammer pants with the crotch hang?

madammecholet · 11/01/2013 20:14

Not on me... And they're Matt not shiny.. ;)

I can't see them being slimming with my arse. I seem to remember wearing something similar in the 80's. Shan't be doing that again.

EverybodysSnowyEyed · 11/01/2013 20:18

what shape are you?

madammecholet · 11/01/2013 20:21

5'9 & size 14-16 with long body.. Seems to elongate legs even more which is why they are flattering I suppose. Trust me, I hated the 80's and hate harem pants even more.

I was sceptical trying them on and pleasantly surprised..

I wear harems a lot I seem to be a lone voice but they do suit me. I like these too very much. What is the material like?

madammecholet · 11/01/2013 20:26

Noddy, it's polyester obviously as its H&m, but its thick, therefore hangs well IMO... For £25, a good buy I reckon and I buy all over the place.. They were FAR more flattering than I expected and actually quite multi use.. Zara did some last season but the pockets bulged and made me look lumpy, these side pockets sit flat and seem a better cut than the £40 zara ones....

Whoknowswhocares · 11/01/2013 20:32

Am tempted even though elastic would usually enlarge arse to horrific proportions. Short legs, arse, fat thighs.........still a go-er?

madammecholet · 11/01/2013 20:39

As long as you wear heels then they should work for anyone I reckon...

Sorry, I hated them - gone back.
Really didn't like the fabric, was too synthetic for me, plus the elasticated waistband was too stiff - and don't get me started on the perma-creases in the legs.
Sorry, really wanted to like them, but - No.
Want something similar in a soft jersey material - anyone any ideas?

Plopsicle · 17/01/2013 15:17

These any good Penfold? www.next.co.uk/x512128s7#148974x51

PenfoldRocks · 17/01/2013 15:57

Ooh - nice. BUT - they look like they have a cuff. I don't want a cuff!
Will go and visit them to check them out!
Thank you

PenfoldRocks · 17/01/2013 15:59

Actually, looking in 'Super Zoom' (has to be said in a Go Diego Go stylee), maybe they don't have a cuff. Not sure about the viscose, will defo check them out. Thanks again
