These jeans...stylish or bloody awful?

[CointreauVersial]

I just bought these jeans from M&S Limited Edition, having seen them on a blog (baaa....).

I'm 5 foot 7, forty-cough-cough years old and a size 10. I do like a cropped leg. They fit nicely. A bit different from the usual. But family have given them the universal thumbs down.

DS said "meh" (what does he know?)
DD1 said "no, they're awful" (but she's still denying the 70s revival)
DH said "it looks like they were too short, and you've just taken down the hems" (um...OK, can't argue with that one)

What do you think?

I reckon its false eyelash glue. For in every hospital bag are some lashes, a bow and some adhesive.

And her husband's teeth !! They are like when Ross has his whitened!

Yikes - I bet she had a 'going home outfit too' ;)

I hate them, sorry. But if you like them then it really shouldn't matter what a bunch of random people on the internet think. Only you know if they look okay on you or not, and how much you care that your family don't like them much.

My favourite photo is the family one with her leg out. I hope the Duke and Duchess of Cambridge are taking notes for their post baby photo-shoot.

That will be appearing in Hello magazine shortly!! Complete with their dog too!

I wear flares but I have always worn them in the evening with silk shirts and heels. I wear my jeans with white hippie type tops and high clog sandals I find them flattering as I like platforms as not tall

Agree with remus internet opinion doesn't matter at all if you love something

Those birth pics are hilare! Those teeth, that hair?!? All those loose beachy waves. It's too much.

Very true.

I never ask opinions on here anymore. I wear what I like and hey if I look an idiot, well that's not the worse thing in the world.

I like them. I'd look crap in them cos I'm too short, but I do like them. Bit like the h n m ones that sold out instantly.

I still ask for opinions occasionally but reserve the right to ignore every last one of you, if I want to! :)

Looking like an idiot wearing something you love isn't the worst thing in the world.

I quite like them personally though I'm not particularly stylish or slim enough to wear them myself.

If you like them, then wear them IMO.

I'm very glad I asked for feedback, actually. Interestingly polarised opinions....

Sometimes I choose to ignore what people say, but sometimes it's a good smack around the face if I've momentarily forgotten that I'm a suburban working mum, and not a twentysomething hipster who spends her life at press days and hanging round Shoreditch.

Poppy. They look like a school textiles project gone wrong.

I do think that they are ok for a suburban mum though as they are in marks!

www.streathamguardian.co.uk/resources/images/3359324.jpg?type=article-full mind you I wore v similar to this on last night out and I know its pretty much unanimously hated on Mn so I may not be the best guide!

Hark at you nod. Suburban mum

Cointreau did refer to herself as that not me! I think I would not be considered suburban mum by the mums themselves

I saw them on IG on schoolrunstyle. They look great on her.

So obviously I went and ordered them on Sunday night. As you do. Will pick up tomorrow. However I do think it's just an itch I had to scratch. I suspect I'll return.

Love the pink peonies, erm, birth story. I mean. Did you ever. Pictures pre-birth in the hospital! I love it. And I think she has her eyelashes on right throughout?

My colleague at work wore these today (or summat very similar).

She looked very cool. Styled them with a silky navy shirt and these www.hm.com/gb/product/89493?article=89493-B.

I asked about the sandals because although they were possibly a bit optimistic fr today's rain, I thought they looked nice for sunnier days .

When in doubt this is always a fun read www.manrepeller.com/2014/12/why-i-wear-bad-pants.html

I think they're OK, but do look slightly too long so that's what gives them that "not quite long enough" look – they look as if they can't make their mind up and the diff colour bit just adds to that. I'd be itching to roll them up a turn or two but because of the colour difference it might look weird.

I like the width of the leg and the general cut.

that blogger needs to step away from the snake print

Cropped jeans shouldn't flare slightly like that, it just makes them look flappy. They should be more, or less wide.

M&S is so good at getting it very precisely wrong

And what is it with bloggers all wearing the same clothes? Do they all get the same package in the post?
