So I bought the Hush harem rip offs from Ebay...

[BarbieJellyBabyBrain]

And they are lovely! Obviously the material isn't quite as nice quality, it's thinner I guess and I don't know how they will wash. But they are 6 bloody quid as opposed to 55! They are so comfy, look really nice and the fit is great. I am a 12/14 and I ordered... 12/14 and they are perfect. I am 5ft3 and have short legs and the length is great, perhaps slightly long but they don't massively bag over the cuff like the Hush ones did on me, and there would be length room for someone with longer legs as well (which is everyone). I'm definitely going to order in some more colours, there are tonnes!

These are the ones I ordered - sorry, I don't like doing actual links as I worry that it will reveal my personal details or something!

Just bought charcoal. I’m a 14, so hoping 12-14 will be ok!

I'm ordering the harem pants in mustard. Have been avoiding black for the last few years. If they are awful will wear then in bed.

Just ordered black. I'm a small 12 so went 12-14. If they are too big I'm on mat leave this summer anyway so I'll just ponk about the garden in them.

I’m 5’11 and have just bought (baaaaa)! I wanted to try the concept of harems before actually splashing on hush ones (though if someone could link to the good tall next ones I’d be most grateful).

Figure I have lots of gardening work to do if these look awful - I’ll wear them for that!

Place holding!

I'm also a size 20, or 18 depending on shop and wondering if I will look like a clown?
I love these types of trousers, it feels like wearing pyjamas out of the house

Just ordered pair in charcoal.

Oh my god I LIVED in my jumpsuit last year, I bought it on an 'ah, fuck it!' whim after everyone talking about it on heat and every day now I'm gauging the weather to see if I can break it out again! Alas not as yet, my 'monstrosity' as it's been dubbed by my darling husband hangs forlornly in the wardrobe awaiting sunnier weather (sobs)

@Puttingofftheironing Ah Angel, she's my style icon, I wish I had her confidence!

@BlueHairDoCare same, I'm now a 20, was a small 18 when I bought the jumpsuit last summer and I was pleasantly surprised by how I looked (or maybe just by how rebellious I felt in it, because it was soooo far from my norm!) I reckon take the plunge! I'm in if you are!

Thanks to everyone on this thread. I have ordered the trousers in blue and the jumpsuit in wine.

I have never owned harem trousers before but inspired by this thread I just ordered a navy pair! Not sure I have any tops to work with them though or sandals for that matter... this could get expensive!!

I want a fushcia pair now

I've been wearing these eBay harem pants for years now.

I'm a size 20 and 5ft10in. I can pull them to just under my boobs and they still reach my ankles so are plenty long enough. I don't think they look clownish and are so comfy they feel like pjs. The Plain ones don't bag at the knee and wash very well. The patterned ones are a different material, just as comfy but they tend to fade and can stretch out a bit after a while.

Anyone who has the jumpsuit, is there a longer version. I bought one a few years ago and it came just to my knees and I'd prefer it longer.

Thanks for answering my rather specific knees question, Frickadela!

Formerly I found there were two routes of jumpsuit last year, one that was knee length and another that was ankle length.

I think I got mine from Amazon, I'll see if I can find the link as mine are the longer ones

And this in charcoal is long, not sure if all the colours are though

For those of you that are normally a 10-12, what size have you gone for in the trousers? I'm really torn but would love to try these! I'm 5'6 if that makes a difference 🤷‍♀️

southernbelles I’m the same size and height and think I’m going to go for 8-10.

Daft question, do they need ironing after washing?

I bloody hope not!

God, imagine trying to iron those!

I actually found a navy pair very similar to these yesterday in a charity shop. I assumed they were ebay cheapies but what’s left of the label (it’s been trimmed) says Made in the UK so maybe not.

@Harumphharagh my Next harems are a couple of years old now. I've just searched and all that comes up when I look for harems on Next are jersey jogger type things. Keep checking though, they might get them in closer to the summer.

Well, I've ordered the eBay harems! A couple of pps have said they are tall and that the length is fine so I thought for £6.99 I might as well have a pop! I'm a size 10-12 so I've ordered the 12-14s hoping that the extra fabric might help with the length issue!

I wonder how many pairs have been sold as a result of this thread?! Perhaps they'll become the new Mumsnet uniform. We'll be able to recognise one another by our eBay harem pants!

They look really good. Certainly worth trying a pair.

Thanks @evilharpy 👍
