the cheapy loose trousers that are everywhere..

[EduardoBarcelona]

not flattering on anyone's arse are they? large OR small.
I propose them to be this summers maxi dress makes cross sign

adjusts sunglasses

they are like maxi dresses in the way they are discount fashion darlings -

cutting fabric skill = minimum
can use shit fabric - check,
will cover the carb curves of your average shopper - check,
will cover salami legs - check

Do you mean the kind of trousers that people used to wear to Levellers gigs, with each leg a different pattern?
They were truly godawful.

I know! Plucking up the courage! And praying for sunshine!

I have a sort of Indian print pair but not cuffed at ankle ok with flip flops and a fitted top but I think the big flowery ones would make anyone look like they are in pyjamas! Plain harems look nice though again fitted not floppy

I don't give a fig. I wear them everywhere - they are dead comfy. Ok not the most flattering garment ever but its ok not to look styled to within an inch of your life at all times. I do have an excellent arse though :-)

off to New Look to get the loudest floral/jungle print pair I can find

I don't think anyone is saying they are styled to within an inch just because they want to wear things that are flattering.

Whoever said they wore them circa 1985 - I'll join your club.

Mine were black with red hibiscus flowers and white palm leaves < tasteful >. I wore them with a red t-shirt and (I think) ballet pumps. They came from Wallis .
Why exactly I was buying clothes from Wallis aged 22 is a whole other story.

They looked crap on me even then, thinking back - I'm slim but hourglass-shaped, so anything baggy and elasticated makes me look like a binbag tied in the middle.

I reckon triangular-shaped or straight-up-and-down will get away with the shape but still look like they're in their jarmas.

I see 19y/slim students wearing harem pants every day - never seen one who didn't look like she was missing her camel.

Agree re. Fashion trying to make all but the extremely young and lithe look frumpy - look at the mum jeans and baggy boxy tops all over the shops. They don't want the likes of us in their club. Skinny jeans kept us all at bay for a few years, but now 60 y/olds are wearing them so they have to find another way to demarcate the favoured few. Imo.

Oh they're not baggy or long enough . Or horrible garish print

Ok, the girls I see are usually wearing ones made out of some sort of sacking - those are a vast improvement.

I do think she'd look even more gorgeous in a pair of crops - but I can see people get bored with the same looks.

Was talking about harem pants just then.

No noddy, don't rethink! Wear what you like. I think they look lovely

I had those Next ones on yesterday!

There is a danger of them looking like children's trousers or pyjamas.

I have just bought these (worn with a long loose black top and black flat sandals)

I also bought from asos, a warehouse pair but they looked awful on me, too right on the leg but puffy from waist to crotch,

I do have some similar ones that I bought from matalan and they fit nicely.

i quite like those river island ones
oH GOD

I agree with noddy on EVERRRYTHING

i have these

noddy where are yours from?

And is it me but the printed ones I seem to think look nicer and less dare I say it nappy like than the black/darker ones?

Forever21 which I wish I was . Cheapy

Oh god no trip to oxford circus or Westfield!!!! Aaaarrggghh

I ordered them online about £17 iirc

no pyjama tie for me

Its not a tie! it just sits there black on mine too. Coach trip lol as if not in those shoes!
