Oooh they are awful! The cut, the pockets, the pleats 😩.

Richmond shorts are gone!? They have been a boden stalwart for decades!!! I can't believe it!!

inmyslippers · 06/04/2021 13:52

I prefer the new ones, much longer and more flattering for a larger body

PurpleDaisies · 06/04/2021 13:52

Who will those flatter?!!

Carycy · 06/04/2021 13:53

I love my Richmond ones teamed with an oversized shirt and wedges. They are just frumpy!

Thebestposter · 06/04/2021 13:53

I want hot sexy ones. Not ones that look like I’m off to a fucking tea plantation in Darjeeling

Only suitable for Lily James in 'The Dig' Grin

They are absolutely awful in every way.

She actually looks like a square, it’s like a skirt more than a pair of shorts.

I’m going to look for Richmond On eBay

I like longer ones myself, for the past few years there's been very few options if you aren't 20 and skinny

XiCi · 06/04/2021 13:59

God those new ones are truly awful

Thebestposter · 06/04/2021 14:00

50 and a size 12 🤷🏻‍♀️

I wouldn't call either pair hot or sexy tbh?! They're both quite mumsy but I do agree the long ones are terrible.
Thebestposter · 06/04/2021 14:07

The orange ones? They look lovely on. Not at all tea plantation.

Lol op your comments have really made me laugh.

I'm thinking Vyvyan from the Young Ones in the garden when they're all bored 😆

BikeRunSki · 06/04/2021 14:08

Interesting
I love my Richmond trousers, have 5 pairs.
Never got in with Richmond shorts, they seem to ha e a lower rise than the trousers (unless the tall size trousers have a higher rise than standard).

Thebestposter · 06/04/2021 14:10

Ah you see. I’m the owner of a low Rise, currently persecuted by sodding high rise trousers.

GrinGrinGrin I saw those the other day, your description of them is spot on!

LaureBerthaudMaisOui · 06/04/2021 14:10

I think Hush denim shorts are good this year

Not a hint of plantations Grin
