Boden Bistro trousers

Kicking myself I didn't order at the weekend with 30% off but I have been dithering over the regular ones or the wool.

Do you have either? What do you think? I am a pear shaped 10 but have lost a bit of weight recently so all my trousers are loose. What do you think if the sizing?

Thanks Smile

I had some. OK and were true to size (I am curvy 12 and 12 fitted properly). But IMHO Gap slim cropped trousers are light years better in fit, cut, fabric and everything. True to size on everyone according to an old thread on here. They have some wool ones too and may even be cheaper ...

Oh thank you, I'll be near a gap tomorrow so I can try on. I find trousers the hardest thing to buy, so much depends on the cut.

I have both. The wool ones I have are true to size, but I had to get the petite version of the regular ones (still in my usual size) because the normal ones were loose on the legs and a bit long (I'm 5'5"). The petite ones were a better fit all over.

Btw the Boden ones are the only ones that fit my waist/thigh ratio - all the Gap ones either fit my thighs and are massive on the waist, or fit the waist but way too tight on thighs. So if you're a thigh monster Boden are good Grin

Boden must be due to start it's sale at any minute. Isn't it usually around the 5th Dec?

Sonokylie thanks so much for the recommendation, I got a pair of the slim crops today - they are exactly what I wanted, and 30% off too Grin

Fantastic! And reduced means they didn't actually cost money because you were saving so much. So you can get the shoes to go with them ...
