You know those hush harem trousers ..

[thriftychicken]

Could they work on a shorty ? I want some but I am 5 ft 1 . I think probably not but ???

Im 5ft 3 and mine are dreadfully unflattering and will be e bayed!

I'm 5' 9" and they looked truly awful on me far too much material.

Thanks for this thread; will now avoid an expensive mistake!

Res!!! I've sent you a pm, have you received it? (Sorry for thread hijack!!)

Twinks - yes!!! I'm just bring totally crap . A friend sent me a text a month ago and I'm still composing the reply!

I'm 5'7 and they were too short on me. So maybe.

I am 5 ft and they look great on me - smallest size and I roll the waistband over.

However they are purely 'loungewear' for me.

Hmm probably a bad idea then thanks . They do look like they have a lot of a cuff at the bottom

I roll the cuff up.

They are lovely quality and wash well

Order the cropped version? Nice for summer.

Res come and join us on the conception boards. There's an eggcellent egg buddies reunion thread

I'm 5'2 and the length is ok, although the ruched bit does get a bit 'compressed' at the ankle. They're very comfortable and I'd say, for what they are, a very casual trouser - flattering enough!

I'm 5'6 and they're too short on me - especially after washing. I have to wear them with the crotch pulled down really low to get enough length. I think they need a bit of volume to look good, otherwise you just look like you're wearing strange, baggy, tapered leggings. If you're going to do the harem thing I think you need to commit to the shape! I lent mine to my mum who's 5'1 and they looked great on her...

Thank for starting this tread OP. I've been considering them too. They look so comfy but I'm concerned they'll be not too flattering from behind. V. thin looking material, lovely style though.

I love harems of all kinds (trousers that is!) and the hush pair are perfect on me. I am 5'3

there is a free delivery and free returns code at the moment so you could always try them and return if they don't suit you

I have some - they're a nice thick jersey in a generous cut, which I think makes a big difference. I'm 5' 6" and they're fine on me, I wear them lowish on the hips though. I don't wear them in the winter as can't work out how to style them, but love them in summer with a vest and sandals.

Having this exact dilemma... 5'1 size 8. Did you buy them OP? Might try them whilst free returns...quite £££ if they end up to be something I won't wear out of the house. DH hates this style but what would he know?!?

I have them in all three colours and I'm 5 FT 3. They fit fine

Thanks...think I'll try them

I love the Hush ones and I'm 5'3. Also recommend Next tapered jersey trousers which are a lot cheaper:

Have ordered the Hush ones, hurray! Hope the 2" won't make too much difference ??. I tried some of the Next ones a while ago but they clung oddly to my lower leg...
