Who remembers the 90's trouser skirt in one ?

I bloody loved these, had a posh pair from selfridges and no money for food that month. Do you think I could get away with this now Grin? Does anywhere sell them?

I remember them well! I had a Dorothy Perkins pair. Your best bet now might be eBay - haven't seen them on sale for donkey's years, although with any luck they'll come round again in fashion sooner or later.

Oh my god, I loved them. My trusty one/ones were dp too. Used to wear skirts over trousers a lot too.

I also had some fisherman's trousers for casual, because I was really cool and went travelling just to Thailand to see the beach from the film, thanks Leo !

Yes, I have some. Got them from Joe Browns. I'm not sure if they still have them but I only got them at Christmas so it's possible. They're not quite as long as the ones I remember from when I was younger but they're pretty good x

I made some wrap-around trousers that looked a bit like a skirt. They were a bit of a pain if I went to the loo.

I still have the thai fisherman pants somewhere. The wrap around pants were a bit like these

I have a pair I got from an American label last year - like cropped wide trouser legs with a wrap skirt. Love em.

If you want to wear them now why not?
I wore mine the other week and didn't care what other people thought. They were clean and I was comfy in them.
But then I don't follow fashion.

The trousers with a mini skirt? They’re called skousers Smile

RicherThanYew · 26/02/2022 00:28

I used to wear skirts over trousers that I bought separately tbh, I could mix and match that way. A ra-ra looks flattering on wide legged jeans btw.

BusterGonad · 26/02/2022 07:18

My friend had a pair and the skirt bit was very much like a tool belt with lots of pockets etc. I wore my stretchy Paisley print skirt over my boot cut leggings. The skirt was lovely actually.

Sciurus83 · 26/02/2022 07:28

I've been looking at fisherman pants again this week! I lived in them, I'm thinking a black pair would be great for spring, I'm doing it!

HeadingForHome · 26/02/2022 07:29

Yep skousers. I was at school at the time so anyone cool had plain black ones from Topshop or Jane Norman.

I did not. I had to continue wearing my normal skirt from What Everyone Wants. Thanks for nothing mum

I really like those, I might actually order.

OldTinHat · 26/02/2022 10:34

I had some too and adored them - but was guilty of always pulling the skirt down because it was so short and forgetting it was attached to trousers!

70isaLimitNotaTarget · 26/02/2022 11:13

I like the Joe Browns ones , the legging/skirt type
Mint Velvet had some similar .
