Assuming you like loud tasteless clothes - which of these would you pick?

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.)

The second one 'flowers' great winter colours. Maybe buy the sunflower one too for summer if you can afford it.

MaggieBsBoat · 07/11/2024 07:45

Thanks! I’m going to buy a pair of the 2nd sunflower ones!

Fireworknight · 07/11/2024 07:47

I was going to say that the black are more wintery, and the sunflowers are more summery. Good excuse to buy two pairs!

(although you could wear black all year round also).

If you can bear a bit more hassle, I'd buy 3 pairs and send back the two with the worst print placement. It looks as if they haven't taken that into account at all si I'd expect every pair to be different.

First ones

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.

Grin - I've just been bitten on this board once too often!

I agree with you the last photo is a pretty awful "style" and tribal belly tattoo? is it 2001?

I have a pair similar to the second ones and they look good if you wear a fitted top in one of the colours of the trousers.

SquashPenguin · 07/11/2024 08:56

I have the sunflower L&Y dungarees and I love them. That print gets loads of compliments.

Sadik · 07/11/2024 09:49

I'm leaning towards the second pair I think. I love the first ones, but actually for what I want I think the wintery colours and slightly straighter cut are a better shout.

I might also look about & see if there's anything else on the same lines but with better pattern matching, so any tips welcome.

Sadly I don't think I can at all justify two new pairs of trousers!

Run and fly have a Depop shop money goes to charity and they sell there seconds there

moonshinepoursthroughmywindow · 07/11/2024 10:36

I like the first ones.

Scaredgf · 07/11/2024 10:38

The sunflower ones. I think if you're going to do it go all out 😆

Elefant1 · 07/11/2024 14:17

I love the third ones, I'm now tempted to get them myself.

Deathraystare · 10/11/2024 11:11

This is up my street! I I love loud trousers! The sunflower ones remind me of a pair I got in Egypt with a multiple print of Tutankhamen on them !!

Princessfluffy · 10/11/2024 11:31

I like the first ones but not the other two

JackieGoodman · 10/11/2024 11:35

Love the 2nd pair

Ellmau · 10/11/2024 11:37

I love the Maria deign, it isn't loud or tasteless imo. Flamboyant at worst, but pretty.

Chrysanthemum5 · 10/11/2024 11:44

Don't know if you've bought a pair yet but I saw someone wearing the first pair and they looked great. So I'm biased towards them 😄

LimeLime · 10/11/2024 12:03

I like the second choice best, and would look for more floral designs like that as I feel it's a bit too dark, the first sunflower pair is giving disability lanyard writ large and the third pair is too busy with seams and patch pockets disrupting the sunflower pattern.
