I’m considering these but DD says no!
What do you think?

Yay! Love the colour. What does your dd know Grin

ApolloandDaphne · 19/02/2019 20:45

They are red not pink.

notsurewhatshappening · 19/02/2019 20:47

I'm not keen but I think on a taller person they could look good. I'm only 5 ft 1 though.

Gentlemanwiththistledownhair · 19/02/2019 21:02

Yes yes! I only recently bought the red cord mint velvet ones or I'd be ordering these tonight. Love them!

Notsure i'm also short, a little taller than you, but my height is all in my body. I actually find that that length can make my legs look longer.

WoahThereMama · 19/02/2019 21:02

I think they’d only work on someone tall and slim. The pleats would be incredibly unflattering on my 5ft6 size 12 frame.

I have a French connection jacket in baked cherry it's a lovely shade of pink. Go for it :)

CharlyAngelic · 19/02/2019 21:05

Go with DD.

sirmione16 · 19/02/2019 21:05

They're not pink..... but yes I love them.

Bluntness100 · 19/02/2019 21:07

It's a no from me, they remind me of clown trousers, I'm sorry, all you need is a pair of braces and some big old flat shoes and you'd be all set.

Pink culottes! Yay or nay?

Uh, no....?

CharlyAngelic · 19/02/2019 21:14

[grin]@Bluntness

Rosered341 · 19/02/2019 21:15

Yes from me. I have some burgundy ones, I wear them with a black top. I think they do suit taller women though.

EstrellaDamn · 19/02/2019 21:21

They're a bit CBeebies presenter chic for me.

Too wide and structured for me, the pleat/fold looks odd. I like a flowing, fluid culotte myself.

BusterGonad · 19/02/2019 22:09

And they are red! Grin

JudyOha · 19/02/2019 22:11

I really like the colour but really hate the style!

DontCallMeCharlotte · 19/02/2019 22:29

Dr Who chic. Make of that what you will.

ReturnofSaturn · 19/02/2019 22:37

I think they look ridiculous! 🤣

MissTyne · 19/02/2019 22:42

no! my mum loves these but they don’t look that great. You need to be quite tall to pull them off I think

DorothyZbornak · 19/02/2019 23:04

I think you need to be tall. I'm only 5' 3", so it's a no from me I'm afraid.

PrismGuile · 19/02/2019 23:24

Lots of people of all heights wear them and look great at my work! You do have to be slim for the structured version though

Bloomini · 19/02/2019 23:35

I think you should listen to your DD. Also they're not pink, they're red!

ThankYouDebbie · 20/02/2019 07:29

Just bought some almost identical in the Boden sale so it's a yes from me. My DS wasn't impressed either, too "flappy". I'm 5ft3 Grin

EstrellaDamn · 20/02/2019 10:05

Culottes just shouldn't be back! Especially very wide legged half master culottes Confused
