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!

Link here

What would you wear them with? Smile

I love the things appearing in the sidebar now, as a result of clicking on those things. I'm nearly sure a matching jacket appeared Grin.

Twitterqueen · 11/05/2016 12:36

The NOISE of them! I can't even imagine. Squeaks, rubs, grates, oh God. They would surely sound as if you were farting all the time?

iMatter · 11/05/2016 12:57

They had these in the T2 bit of the Times today.

I laughed at them.

They even made the model look dumpy. And she looked very embarrassed.

Just reading the telegraph article a couple of PPs have mentioned. You will have to wait until autumn to buy this I'm afraid (possibly the pink velvet tracksuit referenced above?)

YESSS!!

TSSDNCOP · 11/05/2016 14:40

And to round it off......the top too!!

Top to toe. DH Won't know what to do with himself.

Seeyounearertime · 11/05/2016 14:43

I dont know what you were meant to link TSSDNCOP but that link takes us to a MN thread?

ARichVernacular · 11/05/2016 14:46

herethere tbf I do like a nice platter of sandwiches.

I knew i shouldn't have clicked on this thread at work. Have had to retire to the staff room while I desperately try and compose myself Grin

MovingOnUpMovingOnOut · 11/05/2016 14:50

I keep opening the link laughing myself silly and then closing it again.

I'm going to shit coloured culottes and elasticated waists following me around the Internet for forever more!

SandyMcSandface · 11/05/2016 15:07

Moving 'I'm going to shit coloured culottes and elasticated waists' - you need to see a doctor about that.

SandyMcSandface · 11/05/2016 15:08

TSSDNCOP link fail, but I think you were trying to link to the jacket I posted just above you!

bonnyscott · 11/05/2016 15:08

Well I hope you are not the school playground girls who all sniggered at people like me who wear stuff like this, because I really like them and love people who wear different things from the norm. I'd love to wear them if I wasn't so pregnant......glad to have given you such a laugh! It's quite upsetting to read all your comments......I'm sure you are all fashionistas

MovingOnUpMovingOnOut · 11/05/2016 15:33

That's how they're made Sandy Wink

Don't worry bonny. We're only mean to people who wear elasticated leather in the colour of a poorly person's poo.

poorbuthappy · 11/05/2016 15:43

I'm loving the fact that the only way you know its the back photo is because of the way the model's feet are facing. If it wasn't for the feet we'd never know the back from the front!

Movingonup - you sound like you're proud in being mean......!

MovingOnUpMovingOnOut · 11/05/2016 16:25

That's not mean. What would be mean would be to pretend to love expensive, hideous trousers.

SimonLeBonOnAndOn · 11/05/2016 16:28

Holy grail? Holy Fail more like.
Guffaw.

Ilovetorrentialrain · 11/05/2016 16:39

Those pants (and this thread)... comedy gold.

Seeyounearertime · 11/05/2016 16:45

imagine knowing someone who would wear them and they ask you how they look?

It'd be like holding in a fart, a wee and a shit all at the same time as you nod slowly,
"Yep.... they look... like... something don't they? definitely something.."

Our farrier used to wear similar in the cold winter months.

fuck me, is that really what's fashionable?

And they say you can't polish a turd. Well M and S can. Two of them
