This is year 3 for me, can do them for work, le soir or every day. LOvely cotton with stretch. SIze is actually accurate compared to most Gap trousers, Need a belt to look cool imho.

Nehru, you do know that the size 8 you see is a UK 12? You add 4 to the size it says on label.

Alicethecamelshump · 07/05/2013 20:28

Sorry, I posted twice.

YoniOno · 07/05/2013 20:32

Damn it,, I am waiting for a 30% off before buying and could do without your needless sellout causing promotion of them Nehru Angry

As long as you KNOW. Thought you had made the mistake I had that's all.

Alicethecamelshump · 07/05/2013 21:03

I do apologise Nehru.

Nehru · 07/05/2013 21:04

I like them but wouldn't have a clue what size to buy. My size 8 Gap Khakis fall down without a belt, I am a 10 in every other shop, so any ideas where I should start? A 6 perhaps?

chibi · 07/05/2013 21:16

well i got a 12 but i am a 12 everywhere

a 12 in shops where other 12s need a 4, a 12 in stores where other 12s need a 16

i am some kind of anomaly

anyway these trousers fit my statistically unfeasible arse magnificently

landofsoapandglory · 07/05/2013 21:23

Thanks chibi.

Nehru · 07/05/2013 21:42

No. For the crops a ten

Nehru · 07/05/2013 21:42

That's for lands. But your normal size. The LONG ones size down

ICanTuckMyBoobsInMyPockets · 07/05/2013 21:54

If I have to buy these in a size smaller than my usual, I shall be buying them in every colour!

landofsoapandglory · 07/05/2013 22:03

Ah, ok Nehru!

PinkMangoSays · 07/05/2013 22:09

These look really good for everything! I normally can't buy Gap as they are just too masshoosive, if these come up fairly true to size then size 2 should be ok?

PinkMangoSays · 07/05/2013 22:10

Loving teh striped ones too (and they're on sale!)

Nehru · 07/05/2013 22:17

Pink. Are you a 2?
For the crops take your normal uk size

PinkMangoSays · 08/05/2013 00:00

I haven't bought any trousers in a long time except topshop jeans which I'm a 24 in. I tend to wear those jeans or leggings.

Nehru · 08/05/2013 06:18

I can't imagine being a 2. Teeny!

Onanightlikethis · 08/05/2013 07:35

I bought 2 pairs of these on Sunday - navy and stone. Plus a pair of skinny mini chinos. My first foray into non denim leg wear, I'm pleased with them, but they need a belt .
Kitten heels for evening , gladiators in the day. As I'm so small, these are nearly full length!

dollyindub · 08/05/2013 10:33

paulapantdown I feel your pain!
I too have calves that a rugby player would be proud of.
I would love to wear chic little cropped trousers but on me they just look ridiculous (that's if I can get the damn things on)

Big calves thread needed! Grin

Fuckitthatlldo · 08/05/2013 13:18

I love these trousers. I have a pair in black and another pair in dark red.

You're right, the sizing is huge though. I need a size 6 in these and I'm normally an 8.

Fuckitthatlldo · 08/05/2013 13:20

Now I want the navy ones dammit.
