So mine finally arrived after a 6 week wait. They are fab quality,really flattering. I got them in navy as they looked great on the model. Now I'm not sure what to wear them with.....also, they are quite thick, but being ankle skimming more of a summer piece. Would you wear them in winter too?

I just got a pair too. Will watch with interest for ideas. I was thinking of wearing them with the short sleeve Breton tomorrow if it's sunny. Need to get some appropriate shoes though. It'll just be flip flops tomorrow.

I got them too - they're fab on!

I've been wearing the navy ones for work. I've worn them with a blue leopard crew neck knit (Boden - off ebay) and nude leather heels. I also wear them with grey tops and a big statement necklace. I will wear them in winter with a blazer and heels and pop socks.

I have these and am a fan. They are quite heavy material but seem nice and cool to wear. Doubt I'd wear them in winter rather than autumn.
I wear them with loafers, skate shoes, sandals.

Are these trousers suitable for pears ladies? Boden's bistro crops aren't really

Roshbegosh · 06/06/2014 06:50

How are they on the calf? Would they be ok over big calves?

JenniMoo · 06/06/2014 07:30

They go over my big calves and don't look too bad. They'd be better slightly looser but I was amazed how good they did look as have very chunky legs.

polyhymnia · 06/06/2014 09:07

Only slight reservation I have is that they are a bit baggy on the thighs for me. I would also prefer them a little tighter in the lower legs but they're not too baggy. (My legs are slimmer than my body!),

SorrelForbes · 06/06/2014 14:28

I love mine as they flatter my less than svelte thighs much more than the Bistro crops.

I've worn mine with the silver Boden Ravello top, silver mesh heels and a clutch for an evening do, with grey ash boots and a charcoal top for work and with a white and navy stripped Breton and loafers for casual.

Oooh I do like the look of these. Have never bought anything from Boden before, what is their sizing like?

Romcom · 06/06/2014 18:55

I'd say they are true to size.

I've got them in navy. I love the fabric, but they are a bit short (I'm tall) so I wear them with pumps & a blazer.

Those are true to size verging on generous IMO.
