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

Grrr - I clicked on the link to look and now they are staring back at me on my phone curtesy of a M&S banner ad. There is literally no escape from the ghastly things.

And the price of the matching jacket Grin... I think it was £250! What a bargain.

Has linked a much cheaper, versatile version of these pants of great beauty.

M&S you are way behind.

iseenodust · 12/05/2016 08:54

This thread has some brilliant comments.

Got to say though M&S is not the only sinner. Whistles & Jigsaw have similar (Whistles even down to elasticated waist Shock).

KittyKrap · 12/05/2016 08:54

My DH just looked and asked if they were MC Hammer pants.

I have the perfect shoes to wear with them.

Well when you thought you'd seen it all ....Grin

AintNobodyHereButUsKittens · 12/05/2016 16:42

Whistles leather culottes. But actually looking waaaayyy better because they're an actual divided skirt. Also not baby poo brown.

AintNobodyHereButUsKittens · 12/05/2016 16:44

Jigsaw's 300 quid version. Not Good.

niminypiminy · 12/05/2016 17:13

I love the navy version of the matching jacket. I'm not such a fan of anything tan-coloured but in navy I would actually try on the trousers. I'm liking the cropped wide leg trouser trend though unlike most people on MN.

niminypiminy · 12/05/2016 17:14

Ooh just clicked on the Jigsaw link - really like those - and it's a long time since I could say that about anything in Jigsaw.

Gingefringe · 12/05/2016 17:28

WTF are those strange flip flop/cowboy boot combo? Nearly as bad as the Clarks originals sheepskin lined sandals which were on here recently.

Wheresthattomoibabber · 12/05/2016 17:50

They are the only shoes worse than crocs.

thatorchidmoment · 12/05/2016 18:17

Hahaha, I'm dying at this thread!
😂

Houseworkavoider · 12/05/2016 18:23

I swear m&s are doing it on purpose now!

BennyTheBall · 12/05/2016 18:23

Dear God! They are an abomination.

I agree, the bloggers will be all over them.

The model is 6'1 and a size 8 yet they make her look wide and dumpy. I can't imagine what I would look like in a size 12.

howtorebuild · 12/05/2016 18:42

I can't stop laughing.

Floisme · 12/05/2016 18:44

I'll be giving them a wide berth because I don't think leather and crotches ever belong together and because that elasticated waist looks ugly.

That said, I have never understood all the harrumphing about cropped wide legs on these boards, especially when capris - much trickier to wear if you ask me - seem to be viewed as mainstream. It kind of reminds me of my marvelous Auntie Winnie who lived through 2 world wars but never got over the shock of seeing Sonny and Cher.

I really like the jacket in navy.

Loose stool Grin

So we are going to be wearing leather cropped baggy trousers with SANDALS this Autumn? Shock

Behooven · 12/05/2016 20:31

What are the 'loaf of bread' shoes?

GrumpyOldBag · 12/05/2016 20:47

They make the model's arse look enormous.

I suspect that's not an original observation, I haven't RTFT.

thatorchidmoment · 12/05/2016 20:56

Oh grumpyoldbag....

Just cancel the cheque!

I'm seriously pissed off right now but keep clicking on the ops link to cheer me up Grin

Liiinooo · 13/05/2016 08:46

This thread has made me laugh so much.

I bet Trinny will have some poor sap wearing these on This Morning very soon.
