Also tried and quite liked these trousers (the hideous belt would have to go) but didn't buy because they are v different to my usual look and I wasn't sure what shoes would go with them. Dp loved them on me! Any opinions?

KanyesVest · 31/05/2016 20:55

I like them. Chinos are proof of my madness...every year I try on the same three pairs repeatedly, hoping against hope that this time they won't be eyeball achingly awful.

RemusLupinsBiggestGroupie · 31/05/2016 21:14

Never worn them before but really want something that doesn't feel so hot as jeans.

niminypiminy · 31/05/2016 21:45

Blimey Remus I'm wondering if I'll ever take my winter jumpers off!

My toast jeans arrived, and although they aren't the holy grail of jeans they are pretty nice. Wide-ish straight legs, long rise so sit on the waist, and the legs are reasonably short (I'm 5"4" so I need to take up most trousers). No wonder they didn't sell, they would be ankle swingers on taller people. Nice dark, no lycra denim. Keepers but still not the high waist wide legs I've been thinking about.

It was warm here yesterday and this morning, but is positively apocalyptic now.

Can I join this thread, bought m.houseoffraser.co.uk/Office+Bounce+sporty+sandals/243769433,default,pd.html these today. Not very dainty but very comfy. I would love them in tan but doesn't look like office do them

PrimalLass · 01/06/2016 10:04

I live in chinos in the summer. Normally from H&M, but I'll try those M&S ones in navy.

RemusLupinsBiggestGroupie · 01/06/2016 11:51

What do you wear on your feet with them, Primal?

CointreauVersial · 01/06/2016 12:48

I'm quite partial to a chino - always rolled up for a bit of ankle-flashing. I wear with pretty much any flat shoes/trainers/sandals.

I'm in The South of France. I have brought with me a carefully selected capsule wardrobe for warm weather including lovely sandals. It's fecking freezing and rainy so what I am actually wearing is the same pair of skinny jeans and my Birkenstocks or converse. I have also realised that new Birkenstocks are required. I wasn't going to buy any this year in the name of style but I like them and they're comfortable and I saw some
Patent navy ones in E. Leclerc that I liked. I've been trying to pick up style tips from the French but they're mainly in massive rain coats so it's not been that successful!

thecatfromjapan · 01/06/2016 15:45

I saw that in the shop, KeeponKeepingOn. It's nice BUT it doesn't have pockets, I think.

thecatfromjapan · 01/06/2016 15:46

To be fair, that may not bother you. I was looking at the navy blue, in a work/everyday context, where the lack of pockets bothers me. Smile

RemusLupinsBiggestGroupie · 01/06/2016 16:08

KeepOn - probably not pretty/special enough for your needs but I liked this too. Warning - Per Una link!

Dancergirl · 01/06/2016 17:44

Loving this thread!

I've just ordered the white culottes from House of Fraser that kayne posted. These:

remus love the Superdry skirt

Dancergirl · 01/06/2016 18:26

What do you think of this top:

Dancergirl · 01/06/2016 18:28

I've bought a grey linen tee shirt from Hush and it's fab:

www.hush-uk.com/womenswear/daywear/tops/sheer_linen_tee_1_grey_marl.htm

Might get a second colour.

Also ordered the Tara dress in navy:

www.hush-uk.com/womenswear/daywear/dresses_skirts/ss_tara_dress_midnight_white_stripe.htm

Not sure it will suit me though, I am inverted triangle shape

Dancergirl · 01/06/2016 18:29

Can anyone help with sandals?

I'm looking for some flatform sandals which are comfy but still stylish. And not TOO clumpy.

RemusLupinsBiggestGroupie · 01/06/2016 18:32

I'd forgotten all about that skirt! Not seen it irl yet.

I don't like the Oasis top, sorry. It reminds me of a Pierrot, and I suspect that the fabric wouldn't be v nice.

I'm looking for a bright pink cardigan or jacket. Can't find anything I like.

PrimalLass · 01/06/2016 20:56

What do you wear on your feet with them, Primal?

Sandals (Saltwaters, Birks, things like that) or Converse-type trainers.
