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

Jesus H! Truly dreadful! Confused

MsBojangles · 11/05/2016 21:08

I'd wear them with the hilarious 'loaf of bread' shoes a fellow Mnetter was kind enough to admit to share with us a couple of weeks ago Grin

LadyAntonella · 11/05/2016 21:13

I used to not understand why people slagged off m&s so much on here, but this season they have really hit rock bottom. I saw the most ghastly floral dress in a glossy magazine the other day. Surely if you shell out for advertising space in a national glossy magazine you are going to feature your nicest stuff. Not good.

RomComPhooey · 11/05/2016 21:14

Cows died, for this.

M&S should be hauled into court

Quite.

DurhamDurham · 11/05/2016 21:18

If I wore those I'd look like an Umpa Lumpa !!

Rachel0Greep · 11/05/2016 22:44

They would be full length on me. Cannot wait to order them. Grin

Not sure if this'll work, just saw this on Twitter:

The original sketch by the designer, Josh Bristow!

ExpandingRoundTheMiddle · 11/05/2016 23:03

The only person I can see them on is Melissa McCarthy's character in Bridesmaids.

"Hide!"

"Yes, genuine leather, aren't they beautiful?"

"No, HIDE, you look effin ridiculous."

missmeg3leg · 11/05/2016 23:11

😱😱😱 indeed!....almost tempted to order.....try on & PMSL (not literally!).....then return! LOL

WonderMomma · 11/05/2016 23:17

Lmao 😉

clippityclop · 11/05/2016 23:18

Tragic. Can we have a web chat with someone from M&S and tell him exactly what we really want? There are jobs depending on this stupidity, and loyalty seems to be fading.

Kr1stina · 11/05/2016 23:21

There have been dozens of threads on MN where posters make helpful, knowledgable and constructive suggestions to M and S . All of which have been ignored . As you have probably guessed, listening isn't their strength .

Ankleswingers · 11/05/2016 23:25

Grin Grin

They are fucking shocking!

Would go well with that black shoe/ sock creation from Clarks on a thread a while back Grin Grin

fluffywol · 11/05/2016 23:26

I clicked on the link after reading all the thread, thinking they couldn't be that bad. Fuck me, they really are though, aren't they? I second the pp who suggested wearing them with paper bags on your head.

phoolani · 11/05/2016 23:28

But, in fairness, they are on trend...

Ankleswingers · 11/05/2016 23:28

Grin Grin

They are so hideously bad I just had to have another look....

Northernlurker · 11/05/2016 23:32

The 18 is sold out.

Why?

Just - why?

Have people bought them thinking they can fashion a small tent or line a pond or what?

glintwithpersperation · 11/05/2016 23:54

Jesus fucking hell. They are the worst pair of trousers I've ever seen in my life. They are reminiscent of my fat mate Pat who wore a pair of suede chaps to a posh rave in the 1990s. My male friend still laughs about it now nearly 30 years later.

MsBojangles · 12/05/2016 00:57

I need to see a pic of fat Pat in her chaps Grin

exWifebeginsat40 · 12/05/2016 01:13

I...oh. oh, dear me no.

i might go and try these on tomorrow. I'm fat with really long legs. this is going to be amazing.

Maybe everyone here should inundate M&S Facebook and twatter with links to this thread?
