boden trousers!

I've just discovered boden trousers (Richmond and only £19.50 in clearance) and they're so bloody comfy! And are actually super flattering on my 3 month postpartum bum and chunky legs 😂 And they're so pretty. I realise I'm behind the times.. (does everyone dislike boden now?!) but I need to share my excitement! Now does anyone want to encourage me to buy a pair in every colour? I think my skinny jeans have some serious competition.

I used to wear their trousers 20 years ago, I loved them. I know Bodens meant to be frumpy but I've never been accused of being frumpy.

I used to wear their trousers 20 years ago,

Way to reassure her that she's not behind the times Grin

Comfy and flattering sounds good to me.

Fluffycloudland77 · 16/08/2017 20:17

They'd only just started back then. I was 20.

To be honest I've got a 'frumpy' shape and these make me feel lovely instead of frumpy. I'm never going to be a fashionista so this suits me perfectly.

There you go then, don't second guess it. I like them.

(I was teasing fluff)

Love Boden Richmonds and Hampshire
Favourite ever is 7/8 chinos
I don't care if I'm frumpy, they fit perfectly

Good for you! Enjoy them.

Can I ask about sizing not for those trousers as I'd look like a clown I buy quite a bit from Boden but never tried the trousers. Are they true to size?

I used to love boden trousers, especially the Richmonds, but would say they are better for pears/hourglasses than apples. I find that I often have empty wings (like old fashioned jodhpurs) on my thighs, and they can be a bit flappy on my legs, but comfortable round my waist. But they last forever.

I'm a fan of their Richmonds and the Hampshires. Comfortable, look good ( I think) and wear well. But I am an hourglass if that makes a difference.

Another Richmond fan, also bought a pair of Rachel chino trousers this summer and love them too, especially as colours aren't the usual beige and navy

PaperdollCartoon · 16/08/2017 21:35

I love Boden dresses. I'm 29 and definitely not frumpy. I like that they cut for a woman's shape.
I didn't get on with the sizing of the last trousers I bought from there though and sent them back, but I might try again

dudsville · 16/08/2017 21:35

I've avoided them as I presumed they were for straight legged small hipped people. Those of you who are pear and hourglass, does your lower back nip in? I dip in and get so happy when I find trousers that can handle both my hips and ass as well as nip in,so would these do that?

They look great. Smile
