Can't be of any help nailpolish, but, i've been thinking the same lately so i've bought some linen trousers in different colours.

DANCESwithnewlytannedlegs · 10/05/2007 16:30

oh me too nailpolish...can't face linen as I end up looking even more crumpled and baggy knee-ed than usual and cords to warm...will be watching this thread.

nailpolish · 10/05/2007 16:31

i dont like linen at all
by the end of the day they are 3 sizes bigger than when you put them on that morning
and the creases are annoying

yup, that's the problem. Also looks like you've slept in it after one car journey.

I bought some grey combats from DP this morning in the sale for £10 and a cream hoodie thing for £7.

Bargain.

I like linen trousers as they go with everything.

nailpolish · 10/05/2007 16:33

surely linen isnt the only alternative to jeans

I tried on a nice pair of narrow leg black trousers in principles the other day, in the petite section. Bought jeans in the end though

Radley · 10/05/2007 16:34

Bugger, looks like the trousers will be going back [Hmm]

tis hard
cords are good for winter

(am a linen fan for summer but iron them every mroning so not too saggy)

nailpolish · 10/05/2007 17:02

i dont like cords either - they seem to make your arse look huge

i like combats - where are the nice ones?

i think i will not be bored with knee length jeans - any nice ones around?

help, what are the rules for knee length jeans? I hate shorts, usually wear wide linen trews, so clueless about anything hat falls betwix thigh and ankle.

MrsBadger · 10/05/2007 17:07

depends on shape of your leg, Chippy - in general trous that end at the fattest bit are bad
(I can only do one inch below knee or about 3in above foot, nothing in between)

nailpolish · 10/05/2007 17:28

i fyo like them show them off
or just ON the knee is ok
