Are these too frumpy?

Need some shoes that I can wear with wide leg crops, shirt etc for work. Maybe weekend wear also

Are these way off point

Can you link @wehaveafloater ?

What sort of job do you do? Not my idea of workwear.

@lotsofthingstolearn

I find them a bit fussy. I prefer these

They are great! I am going to try them on when I see them! Not frumpy at all.

You could wear those trousers if you are tall and slim. They don’t suit shorter or wider people. They are fashionable at the moment but only on some people. I do agree that cigarette pants are the safe choice. But go for the trousers if you suit that look.

I'm certainly not thin thus today I'm looking for cigarette trousers!

Love Mumsnet wisdom thanks and thanks for the reassurance. I've ordered them- let's see what they're like!

I wear wide legs and I'm short. And I look fucking awesome. The hell with anyone telling you what you can and can't wear.

Good God! It’s just an opinion! I’ve seen a lot of the wider leg cut offs on tall people. I think height is an advantage but whatever floats your boat really!

Lone voice saying I don't like them but I'm in a HUGE minority OP :)

I'm insanely fussy about shoes so probably best to just ignore me.

Buy them, wear them, enjoy them.

I'm a short arse and wore some wide legged cropped black trousers a lot this year. I think the seam don't the centre of the M&S trousers makes them look a bit 'off'. Mine are from next and are just jersey. I like them, even though I'm short and not as thin as I once was. I don't think I scared small children in them.

Ultimately, people in real life will care far little than the people of MN seem to do about what somebody is wearing. Try them, OP. Cigarette trousers might also look fine, but would have a very different vibe.

OP, you've just cost me 75 quid

I have these wide-leg trousers from M&S and they are great if you don't mind a high waist: www.marksandspencer.com/high-waist-wide-leg-trousers/p/clp60274484?color=BLACK

Out of stock in nearly every size. I like those - will try to find them in store.

They are a yes from me

I really like them, and now want to buy them myself!

If you want some well made, gold coloured trainers look at Fitflop, the comfiest trainers ever!

I saw these on some one Saturday and they looked really nice .
I would wait for the sales they are over priced.
The trousers I dont like at all.

Really like them!

I really like them . Go for it !

I love the shoes, I'm not personally keen on the trousers but obviously don't know you so can't comment on whether they'd suit you or not! I do however like the second M&S ones that @noodlezoodle suggested

Not frumpy at all,they look like the sort of things my younger workmate would wear(late 20s)
Not my thing,they're too ''young looking'' for me.

Well those cropped trousers are a disappointment, I was expecting something really wild. I know we don't all like the same things but I don't get the strong reactions.
I'm 5'3 and my legs look shorter in narrow trousers. A wider cut bypasses my thighs and, if high waisted, make my legs look longer too.

I prefer silver to gold metallics but otherwise I like the shoes, in fact I'm very drawn to the white ones.

I don’t like them but I’m in the minority! Not a fan of metallics.
