For going-out trousers - gigs, outdoors parties etc. If it makes a difference, I'm short, mid 50s and small built but no waist.

Sunflower print L&Y / Flowers / More sunflowers
(& if you hate this sort of style, perhaps don't bother telling me so, I realise it's not to many people's tastes.)

I like the style of the first ones. Like the print of the second ones but they don't look so comfy. Don't like the third pair.

MrsCarson · 06/11/2024 23:30

The first sunflower ones were the nicest. Last pair were awful.

The first ones

#2. I've seen a few sunflower ones similar to #1 and #3, so I'd go for something more original.

The sunflower prints #1 and #3 are everywhere. I much prefer#2 but the misaligned pattern slightly puts me off.

GoldenSunflowers · 07/11/2024 00:25

I like the second pair. Like a PP mentioned, you’d need to see what you get, though, in case the print is exactly over the crotch, like Eve’s leaf.

mathanxiety · 07/11/2024 00:27

The shape of the flowers one is better for someone with no waist. It has a waistband and buttons.

The elastic waist of the first wouldn't be flattering and the third is a skinnier cut that wouldn't look nice imo.

Stillnormal · 07/11/2024 00:32

i like the 2nd pair!

PickAChew · 07/11/2024 00:35

They're all glorious in their own way but the not sunflower ones would suit my own colouring best.

RemusLupinsBiggestGroupie · 07/11/2024 00:36

I've seen a few people wearing the first pair (or similar) in real life and they looked quite nice. I don't like the third pair.

Thatcastlethere · 07/11/2024 00:38

I like the second pair because I think they are more interesting, you see sunflowers on everything at the moment!

purpleme12 · 07/11/2024 00:39

Sunflower. Absolutely

StormingNorman · 07/11/2024 00:43

Red and purple flowers. Particularly for winter although they’ll be great over summer too.

janeavrilavril · 07/11/2024 01:06

second pair, looks like embroidery, more expensive and! more options for top colours.

BebbanburgIsMine · 07/11/2024 01:19

The middle pair, the colours are much nicer.

Maybe just because I don't like sunflowers or the colours of those two.

Pumpikini · 07/11/2024 01:21

First ones

andfinallyhereweare · 07/11/2024 01:41

Second pair definitely

CallMeCrazyButIDontLikeStoreBoughtPesto · 07/11/2024 03:39

I thought this thread was going to be you buying someone a Christmas present and being a snob. I only clicked on it to tell you that's not very nice 😂

First sun flower ones definitely but it's close with the second ones as I think they could really be dressed up with the right colour top.

hattie43 · 07/11/2024 04:16

Second pair are my favourite

BobnLen · 07/11/2024 04:17

Both sunflower ones are more summery, I probably wouldn't wear them in the winter and they look more casual. The flower ones are much more for the winter and less casual.

BobnLen · 07/11/2024 06:03

I like the first sunflower trousers, if it was the Spring I would probably buy them but I couldn't see me wearing them this time of the year as they wouldn't look right with my long winter coats, patterned jumpers and Seasalt tunics.

lifesrichpageant · 07/11/2024 06:09

Fabulous! I would personally go for the non-sunflowers pair but they are all lovely.

Fooshufflewickjbannanapants · 07/11/2024 07:12

I love run and fly, I also think the trousers are a better cut, all good prints but I look weird in the baggy l&y trousers

WillowTit · 07/11/2024 07:15

i like the second

supercalifragilistic123 · 07/11/2024 07:27

I so nearly bought the second pair! They were on a special deal a few days ago and so might come back into the sale if you keep an eye out.

I much prefer the structured trousers to the alexa style but that's personal to me.
