Boden Ponte Roma trousers

Has anyone got some?

They get consistently good reviews on the Boden site so thinking of trying a pair. How does the sizing come up? I am 5'3", should I get the petite length?

I ordered some in petite and I am the same height as you.
The length was fine but I did not like the material so back they went.

I have the black from last winter, they come up long. I'm 5 5 and they bunch a bit so sounds like petite is the way for you.

Regarding fabric- they are like a very thick jersey. I like them as the are much more comfortable than jeans and quite warm. Wore them all last winter. Was initially worried they would look like thick leggings but the pockets on the bum help steer them into trouser territory!

Wish I could tell you there's a good offer coming up but I haven't heard from the affiliate team since the 20% off COTD week.

I bought a pair 2-3 years back and lived in them- lovely and comfy. They have a fly zip and belt loops.
But then I ordered a new pair last year and they were the same as leggings. Very tight all over and I am a slim 8-10.

I am 5 3' and ordered the regular - you need to read the measurements.

There is a 15% offer out- was sent an email- so keep an eye out or maybe speak to them about current discounts?

They ARE very expensive- Uniqlo did some last year for around £19.

Thanks, think I might try them. Really need a current discount code as I want to buy some boots too. I refuse to buy at full price at Boden!

you can always return. might be an idea to order both leg lengths? I find that petite come up smaller in the body as well so often order the R and shorten.

I have 2 pairs and they are lovely.
Really warm and very flattering .
I have the Uniqlo ones as well Pink they are nothing like the Boden ones for warmth or quality though they are nice enough.

I'm wondering if this year's offering is like the pair I bought a couple of years back then? On the model this year they look skin tight, whereas mine look tight-ish but not like leggings.

polyhymnia · 27/08/2014 15:01

Yes, they have gone back to the original skinnier formula which I much prefer (I'm large but tall with long slimmish legs).

Had 4 of the originals a couple of seasons back and lived in them - smarter than leggings, a change from jeans. But I was very disappointed when they made them baggier in later versions.

Now they're back to their best have stockpiled several pairs and on lookout for more when 20% comes along.

Skinny is good for me! Just need a code now!

are they HUGE in the waist ( length wise?)

polyhymnia · 27/08/2014 17:36

Sorry can't help with that as I'm tall so they're fine on me.

Dancergirl · 28/08/2014 14:56

Found a valid 15% off code if anyone needs - A58E. Until 6th September.
