Modern rarity knitted trousers

[InTheNavy]

Thoughts anyone??? (£120)

They're not exactly flattering!

I have a lot of thoughts.

Flipping heck!

My mother had a knitting machine . She once knitted my sister and I trews and matching tunic. I am not going there again

They're probably the worst trousers I've ever seen.

They also remind me of my IKEA blanket that I have on the sofa when my legs get cold.

Also - if it's cold enough to need knitted trousers, surely you'd need them to be longer?

@ImperfectTents i think this mother's knitting machine has malfunctioned!

So many questions... Who dreamed them up? What were they thinking? Who is their target customer? What occasion might one wear them for? How would you style them? How many units will John Lewis shift?

Thank goodness they're a rarity.

They look as though they have been woven from phlegm.

So bad.

They would be such an uncomfortable mix of warm and freezing too

Worst garment I've ever seen.

And if it rains.....? 😬

Imagine the bagginess.....

Now that’s quite a look 👀😲

@TuckMyWin Please publish those thoughts!

Oh, I'm not sure they are publishable. Especially when you take into account the coordinating footwear.

Can you imagine what they'd look like on a non model? Or the baggy arse when you sat down? I too am the offspring of a dedicated knitting machine mum, and she created some extraordinary stuff back in the 70s, but even she may have baulked at these, god rest her.

Even the M and S buyer on crack wouldn't buy those!

Made I larf. Translation Hilarious

Wow.

@EarlyModernParent

If I had a sleeping baby on my chest I would have woken it.

My main thought is that I would have a unique combination of boiling hot arse and freezing cold ankles and feet.

Can you still get knitting machines? My auntie had one and my mum was very snooty about it not being 'real knitting'.

My mum used to sit at hers for hours, sweeping that thing back and forth. It was very noisy. I'm just grateful she never got the idea for flared culottes.

😲 < says it all.
