What do you think of these?

Mine just artived. They're not perfect, but for the price and the number if times i'm likely to wear velvet trousers, I quite like them.

I quite like them. Tried a few pairs of velvet leggings but those are nicer.

Mrsmaudwatts · 09/11/2016 21:20

What would you wear with them? I'm.used to wearing tight fitting skinny jeans that kind of hold my belly in. These are quite loose, so I need a loose, hip length top really. Tried them on again and I'm pretty chuffed with them for the price!

I saw some very similar in primark for half the price, almost bought them but really didn't know what I would wear them with

Mrsmaudwatts · 09/11/2016 22:34

I have a grey silk top and some grey/black snakeskin heels that could work....

Silk top and heels sounds great. I was going to say that or a pussy bow blouse?

They're gorgeous.

burnishedsilver · 10/11/2016 19:34

I'd wear them with a silk top and a keather jacket.

When you say they're not perfect what do you mean? The fit or the fabric? I'm thinking of buying them.

Mrsmaudwatts · 10/11/2016 20:16

By not perfect.... I don't really know what I mean! They're quite lose fit compared to skinny jeans which is what I live in. I always like the boden velvet jeans (on the model anyway!) but these are trousers rather than jeans and quite light fabric.

I've tried them on again (obsessed?) And I really really like them. So by 'not perfect', I think I mean they're not what I was initially looking for. But they might actually look better than the type I wanted...

I bought some of the primark ones this week. They are styled like trousers/jeans but are tighter in the legs like leggings.

I am planning to wear mine with an oversized teeshirt (tucked in a bit a the front) and biker boots.

I like them a lot! What's the waist like - is there a zip?

Mrsmaudwatts · 10/11/2016 22:21

Yes, usual zip/button

White Stuff, of all places, have some velvet treggings-type things in navy and black that looked lovely.
