Has it happened - have these trousers become fashionable again?! 😮

Have these trousers have become fashionable again? I'm seeing similar styles around and about on fashionable creatures.

I've been hanging on to them for about 23 years because I love them and also in anticipation of a fashion resurgence.

Is this it? Is the resurgence happening? Can I finally wear them again without looking like a Some Saints* reject?

If so, what to wear them with?

Sorry for the arse picture - wanted to show the detail-y bits on the bum.

*Some Saints is a pound-shop All Saints tribute group that lives in my head rent free.

Yes cargos are everywhere. I think they look great with a tshirt that sits just above them , and pair with trainers. That is what I like to wear with mine, like this....

I've got a pair in the wardrobe that fit me up until last year but I've put on some weight in the last few months so now they're too small. Oh well, teen DD would be mortified if I wore anything that might be considered remotely "trendy".

I'd hazard a guess that many of the women who wore them first time around - a good 25 years ago, don't have such flat middles.
I'm very slim, exercise loads but at 53 and 2 kids there's skin there - walking around would be fine, but it would poke out as soon as I sat down. Oh wait....maybe I need to be raving!

@tribalmango 😃You've got a nicer teen than me - or are far cooler than me, obvs. Mine would not sing with me!

I'm an ancient embarassment. (One does one's best...😂)

That’s how I wore mine 25 years ago. If I did that now, there’d be a small but unpleasant roll of fat poking out of the gap.

I would have been wearing them all along, you look great!

WetBandits · 30/07/2024 18:16

They are indeed back, and you look fantastic in them! Enjoy Grin

I'm not quite sure how to say this politely ... my bum looks hungry because I was bending over 😳I did think about that before posting and then just thought "Fuck it"

Honestly, bending over was purely to show the lace-up bits.

JFC - This is like the start of a terrible porno.

Just living up to your name 😂

Big like me then 😬

Be still my beating heart.

I'm not sure what's happening with the 00s fashion resurgence but I'm here for it.

Bollocks to the "rule" about not wearing them the second time around.

What should I wear them with? Let's assume crop-tops are out of the question!

Wear with handkerchief top/chunky knit roll neck with no sleeves/ gauze boat-neck long sleeve top with print pattern of old masters paintings, or postage stamps, or something like that.

On your feet - DC trainers, or silver strappy heels a la Kylie

On your wrist a Baby G watch

Oh I think he's just given up the fight. It's either put up with me singing to 'his' music' or I put on Neil Diamond or Best West End Hits!
