Gap legging cords

10 replies

BobblesAndClips · 18/11/2013 21:36

Hello, I'm a bit of a lurker in these parts but being brave and posting.

I've probably got loads of questions, but here is the first, has anyone got these cords and what do you think of them?

I wanted the real straight ones, although wasn't sure on the colours, but when I tried the legging cords on I was surprised that I quite liked them, as I've not got into the skinny jean thing. But, I'm not sure I'm confident enough as they are a tight fit, not surprisingly!

Anyway, I've got a grey pair of the legging cords at home, waiting for me to make my mind up.

Not sure what I'm even asking now, I think I want someone to say keep them, they are great, or send them back immediately!

(for some sort of context, I'm in my 40s, and they are size 28)

Thank you Smile

I haven't tried the cords but have a pair of the legging jeans and they are my favourite pair of jeans out of all the ones I own, they are really flattering I think.

Keep them, they are great!

bluebump thanks, do you find them quite comfy?

cynical thanks for humouring me Grin

Sorry, only just saw this again! Yes, very comfy. Not too tight and they seem to retain some shape/structure so I am not constantly yanking them up or trying to smooth the knees out etc. I would assume the cords are the same. I would definitely buy another pair.

I love them too. Bought another pair I liked them so much. Very comfy and go with everything.

Size 28? I don't get it? Is that the waist, so whats that a 10?

IfYoureHappyAndYouKnowIt · 19/11/2013 20:52

Just bought some. Seem to be a great fit. I squeezed with difficulty into a 28. It's probably a 10.

I've got some of those legging cords and I'm not massively impressed tbh. They are ok for the price I suppose but not amazing.

BobblesAndClips · 19/11/2013 21:16

Thanks for the replies, I'll try them on again tomorrow but I think I'll keep them.

What colours have you all got? I liked the ruby wine ones but wasn't sure what would go with them, plus they didn't have the right size. The grey ones seem safer, but a bit dull perhaps?

I've got grey ones and the nap isn't wearing well - there's a patch that persistently lies the wrong way near my knee.
