I know we have all laughed at M&S for their terrible gopping clothes over the past couple of years but I really feel they are getting back on track now... because these trousers are going to be my summer staple!

What would you wear them with? Smile

We need a caption competition - I think she's saying 'are you fucking serious?'!

I know you mean the second picture in BUT if you are blessed in the chest department I imagine the little pleats on the shirt pockets would be just the thing to offset the runny arse trews.
Are they laughing at my chest or my kecks, you may never know.

There's a group of highly self regarded designers round a table. "Right guys, we need edgy, we need lux, we need wearable"

Yes! Wide leg leather culottes with an elasticated waist in the colour of loose stool - nailed it again M&S. 😧

Wear a green top, look like a tree.....

I bet one or two misguided souls will have bought a pair of these. They will wonder why people are laughing.

mrsgiraffes · 11/05/2016 11:03

These responses have really made me chuckle. Love the idea of us all going to try them on and posting the pictures!!

They are in the Telegraph Fashion Section as 'looks to buy for next season from M&S' www.telegraph.co.uk/fashion/brands/marks--spencer-unveil-their-autumn-2016-collection---but-these-a/

So they must be great...yeah?

KittyKrap · 11/05/2016 11:09

To be fair, it's a cracking colour. For a 70s Vauxhall Viva.

They would look fantastic with those lovely horrendous clarks shoes that were linked to a while back.

LonnyVonnyWilsonFrickett · 11/05/2016 11:16

Either this is one of those 'stockbrokers trying to take down retail empire' thing a la BHS, or the 'fashion' department enjoy self-harming.

What the actual fuck?

And I hope the Daily Wail prints this thread - someone needs to get a message to M&S!

Only1scoop · 11/05/2016 11:22

BBQ

Oh they would Grin

I remember those foot garments of great beauty

mrsgiraffes · 11/05/2016 11:36

Yes BBQ and Scoop - I was thinking exactly the same thing!!

eureka moment!!! next time you're browsing the site and one of those questionnaire boxes pop up, say yes and as soon as you get to a bit that allows free text enter a link to this thread!

I never say yes to those questionnaires but if they want feedback we should give them feedback.

The 'things you might like' sidebar offered me a platter of sandwiches Confused

(Though to be fair if I strategically placed them across my nethers they'd create a more attractive look than the trousers in the OP...)

50ShadesOfEarlGrey · 11/05/2016 12:08

We will have to be quick, size 18 sold out already!

Cacofonix · 11/05/2016 12:08

I am buying them.

Wipe clean! So handy for any day that I do actually have the shits.

CrazyDuchess · 11/05/2016 12:08

Something very Hobbit like about that last pic!

Cacofonix · 11/05/2016 12:09

^^

Ok so who on here as actually bought the last size 18 pair?

Babymouse · 11/05/2016 12:12

My SIL has trousers like those, not that colour, and is a fashion designer. She and her designer friends have really shattered my ideas on how fashion designers must be so stylish! Confused

middlings · 11/05/2016 12:16

Because I've clicked on the link in the OP they're now appearing in my ad bar, alongside these:

www.marksandspencer.com/smudge-animal-print-wide-leg-trousers/p/p22470819?extid=TP_F_CT_B_260911_290_CreoGe

Well. At least the designers made use of the rest of the animal??
