Black pants, or jeans.
Long sleeve shirt.

cruffin · 21/11/2021 12:41

I tried them with black but they are navy and don't look right

Navy palazzo pants or a floaty dress would look nice.

stealingbeauty · 21/11/2021 13:12

Maybe some biscuit coloured wide leg trousers and a white or navy cashmere jumper.

Wagsandclaws · 21/11/2021 15:00

I have these and they are lovely as well as being very comfortable, I'm going to wear them with the m and s wide leg silk burgundy trousers I bought at the same time and a navy or beige cashmere jumper.

This sounds fab! Was coming to say that and then recognised your name from the other thread where you are also v stylish!
Mackmama · 21/11/2021 15:05

Not sure, but I know I’d like some, they’re lovely. I think I’d wear them with skinnies (probably coated ones) and a silk shirt x

@Wagsandclaws could you link to the trousers?

Black and navy are great together???!

I would do a chunky black cardi worn as a top, black denim culottes and these without socks or tights.

Wagsandclaws · 21/11/2021 15:16

@cruffin I'm sorry I'm so crap at links 😬 I've done a couple of screen shots - just type in silk trousers in the m and s website they are honestly to die for.

The silk is really heavy and I won't lie I've just bought the matching co-ord kimono too as well 🤣 but these trousers you can dress up or down as per the model wearing them with a jumper and boots! I find it really hard to find good quality silk but these really are.

@AntiCornLawLeague thank you, what a nice thing to say! I'm not too stylish in bed with a bad neck today but that's cheered me up Grin

@catterycatcat I bought those too Blush they are also gorgeous ...

cruffin · 21/11/2021 18:16

@Wagsandclaws thanks I searched burgundy trousers and nothing came up! Are you tall?

OP posts:
Wagsandclaws · 21/11/2021 18:25

@cruffin @WillYouDoTheFandango has kindly linked to them.

I'm 5.5, these are high waisted and they will need taking up on me. I have a lady who does all my trousers as they seem to be made for very tall people Smile they will be well worth it though.

I also bought a silk shirt from m and s today in the exact same shade as the trousers. If I was going to dress the trousers up I'd wear this shirt with them and a lovely leather waist belt that I have.

Can you tell I'm v excited to wear them!? Perhaps not everyone will like the waistband on them as it is elasticated but I am plus size ( 16/18 ) so they are very comfortable for me.

cruffin · 21/11/2021 18:51

@Wagsandclaws I'm shorter than you I might give them a go! I think M&S have upped their game Ive seen lots I like.

Thanks OP I literally just came on looking for ideas on how to style the exact same shoe after arguing about it with DD13 HmmGrin

I had narrowed it down to barrel leg dark jeans or a pleated midi skirt but will look at the burgundy trousers now

Wagsandclaws · 21/11/2021 19:30

Yes do! I have a long body and short legs ( I have to buy their shorter leg trousers when there is the option in m and s ) so they may well fit you the same way they fit me. They won't need taking up a ridiculous amount just a couple of inches.

Yes m and s have some bloody lovely bits in. I bought 3 pairs of boots from them this season. ( chunky cream, black and brown ) as well as the shoes you have AND i just also bought a fantastic pure silk blue dress with a drawstring waist ( perfect for my apple shape ) the cuffs are a really nice detail on it and I plan to style it in the winter with a black cashmere jumper over the top - lapels out over the v neck black merino wool tights and chunky black boots.

When they do something well they really do. Those shoes you have are so comfortable and with some wide leg trousers ( or even rolled up mom/barrel leg jeans as the poster upthread suggested) they can look a lot more expensive than they were.

@Wagsandclaws do you have the sparks offer 20% off at the mo? Your style sounds great.

No I don't! I do have a sparks card but I can't understand where that is!? I'd have used it to its full potential otherwise ha ha Grin

Wide leg trousers any colour except black. It's annoying they are navy. They are lovely
