Tartan Trews.............discuss...

[cardoon]

Right, I have purchased these in the green tartan

Are you fairly slim?

I would genuinely look like a sofa in them.

My first thoughts were that they were a brave choice

My dd has red tartan trousers. I call her Rupert when she wears them! (BTW I know he wears yellow ones)

hooray. I would love them, but im scared theyll make me look fat

I have some super skinny red ones from Topshop, think they're the Leigh ones. I love them! I wear them with my wedge spike studded patent creepers

I can't bring myself to embrace the tartan as I still remember it from the last time it was on trend.

I've got these.

I had a very similar pair last time round too!

My dd has these.

I think if you look like you could be in a rock band, they're very cool. Not if you look like you are planning on playing golf (which would be the case I suspect for a lot of Boden's customers). Makes me wonder how much they will be in the sale?

Great if you can pull them off, personally I'd look like a deck chair in them

Love! But then I'm very tartanned-up this season. I've gone for tartan leggings rather than trousers tho, as don't trust myself not to veer 'sloane' in slacks.

All I can think of Bay City Rollers ... sorry! (showing my age!)

I'm all about tartan leggings too this season. Trousers are just verging on not being ironically cool, iykwim, unless the rest of your outfit and figure is v good.

I used to have some as a kid/early teen. I loved them. Nowadays they just make me think of golf wear and so are a definite 'no' for me.

The first time I got into a club (at 15) I was wearing red tartan trousers and a white crop top. Both from Topshop. That was 18 years ago and I will not be partaking in the resurgence of this particular trend!

I like them, but got to be worn with a bit of a punky outfit IMO.

I love those - they are not quite the tartan trews that my step dad wore to my wedding!

prefer the two others linked to

even the model looks awful in htem

Shangalang, thats all I have to say.

I rather like those and think you picked the right colour.

They have been horribly styled in the Boden pics. You could do a lot with them - even something simple like heels, white shirt, black crop/biker jacket or flats, breton top and big black shades.

U B STYIN'

I like them. Agree that you need to be slim to look good in them though.

I'd wear the grey check but not the green ones.

I love them, but they appear to have fallen out with her shoes. Why is it fashionable to wear trousers several inches too short, it makes everyone's legs look stumpy. The colour is good, I'd wear them with ankle boots, black t-shirt and biker jacket.

Sorry, but I think they are awful. They look like something from the M&S Classic Collection.

Well I wasn't expecting the love to be unanimous - I think they look very......festive...

The model/styling on the Boden site is indeed very poor they look much better on me

please don't point and laugh if you see me in the street

Sorry, but I think they are truly awful. At £89 they would have to pay me to wear them.
