Because honestly I'm kind of excited they're back and want some.

But.

Will I just look naff?

Was thinking with a tucked in white t shirt and converse?

I got some yesterday from all saints! Love them!

GellerYeller · 03/04/2022 14:48

@gunnersgold I was deliberating between All Saints and a cheaper pair! I do love All Saints...

Stumpedasatree · 03/04/2022 14:53

@gunnersgold do you have a link for the All Saints ones? I think they have more than one style.

gunnersgold · 03/04/2022 14:56

You can wear them wide leg if you want but I Have them on ruched with converse hi top lifts today .. I am short and they are ankle length on me but it still works !

SD1978 · 03/04/2022 14:57

Never stopped wearing them......

gunnersgold · 03/04/2022 14:57

They come up generous ish too, I order the river island ones but they were massive too! I'm a curvy 10 and all saints 10 was fine . River island were too big !

Added RI in case anyone wanted to try . They also do them in camo but as I'm short and curvy I looked a bit like a soldier ! 🙈

I have several pairs of M&S ones, they have a few different styles, cropped and longer.
I'm sure I look fat in them (as I am fat) but then I will also look overweight in jeans, shorts, jogging bottoms, whatever! I find the light fabric very comfortable and like a pp I can stuff all I need in the pockets. I wear with them whatever I would have worn with jeans. They go to my waist or just below, not like the photo!

Emmelina · 03/04/2022 15:20

I’m so excited to see them back!

gogohm · 03/04/2022 15:26

My trusty hiking trousers never we went out as far as I'm concerned

Desolate2nite · 03/04/2022 20:05

I have the m and s ones in both camo colours. I've taken the elastic out from the ankles, they look so much better without it

PumpkinCrumble · 04/04/2022 21:25

Thanks all, I’m quite tall, so will have to try on in store I think.

evilharpy · 07/04/2022 10:23

I can't decide whether I like these from All Saints or not. Any thoughts?

GrandPrismatic · 07/04/2022 10:55

I quite like the All Saints ones but I’m struggling a bit with the cuffed bottoms…for me cargo pants should sit over your trainers/sandals and have grubby ragged hems Grin the jogger style cuffed bottoms just feel a bit like khaki joggers to me with a few extra pockets.

Vohgue · 07/04/2022 11:01

My very unstylish former flatmate (early 2000s) wore cargos with a fleece. Difficult for me to go there tbh. They do very little for most.

cannaethink · 07/04/2022 12:16

I bought the straight fit cargo trousers from Stradivarius but they were tiny! Definitely size up if you order those ones! I ordered the green ones but the green is completely different in real life. Good length though, I’m 5’8 and these were about a cm off the floor so sit nicely over trainers without dragging on the ground.

gunnersgold · 07/04/2022 12:18

@evilharpy I like them but you need a good bum , I think the material would be unforgiving .

Yes, exactly what I was thinking! If I could find a pair without the cuffs, I might be tempted to relive my youth.

Ah that's a good point. My bum needs a lot of forgiveness so perhaps best not.

MaidenSpeech · 07/04/2022 13:27

I used to have a silk pair from warehouse - I lived in them!!

Me too. Stradivarius do straight leg ones in lots of colours. I ordered the khaki ones through ASOS, but they are a bit long and although I generally love khaki trousers, they do look a bit army surplus. I'm considering trying the black or brown, but would like them a couple of inches shorter. Stradivarius

I had some from Esprit, they were amazing.

I ordered these and they arrived today! Website says the model is 5ft 11. They are about an inch or two above her ankles. I am 5 8 (5 7.75 if I'm honest) They are literally about 4 inches from my ankles!!! So either they've shrunk in the post or they've lied about the model height! I'm so annoyed. They're LOVELY but look an utterly ridiculous length on me. Maybe she's got a 5foot long body and only 11 inch legs 🤔
