Sparkly skinnies - middle age tragic or ok for festive season?

[Helpagirlout222]

I've ordered a pair of the m&s coated sparkly skinnies and can't decide if they're terrible or a handy article?!
Is it mums' night out vibe? Rod Stewart?!

Actually I think most of us that said we would wear them have quite acknowledged that our arses aren't small

• but we'll wear what we bloody well want to.

Anyone can wear them you judgemental shallow twit.

I'd wear them to Rocky Horror or to volunteer at a Christmas party for the blind, but otherwise no.

Maybe your judgemental opinion is superfluous to requirements on this thread.

If OP likes them and feels good in them then she should have fun, go for it and enjoy.

I looked at the link in the OP because it was an invitation to comment on the trousers.
So imo they looked cheap and nasty and that was what I said. What is wrong with that? Why ask for opinions if the OP doesn't want them.
I think coated trousers and sparkly trousers - or sparkly clothes of any sort -look cheap and nasty. And leather trousers remind me of dead animals and are even worse.
If OP thinks differently and she likes them why is she asking other people for validation?

They look a bit like a Sandy from Grease costume.

I have the figure, but I also have taste. 😬

I couldn't agree more - I'm 5ft 5 apple shaped with little interest in wearing heels and I cannot pull off wide legged trousers at all. I look at my pear shaped friends and they work wonders but it's just too much material for me and they make my whole body just look, well, wide. I like either a skinny or a slim flare and both in a high waist. Sadly I am unable to change my skeleton in line with changing fashion trends.

Think they would look cool with a slouchy top. Am 50 and live in London, and I don’t register an age barrier to most looks.

I have a friend who dresses in a foxy way, she wears these, cold-shoulder tops, cut-out backs, mini skirts etc… Looks great.

Depends on your personal style. I couldn’t get away with it!

It was the way you said it. If you intended your comment to be constructive/helpful to OP, you picked a funny way of expressing it, as it just came across as snark.

Love sparkly trousers for Christmas. Would prefer wide leg though, a bit more sophisticated.

Wide leg don't suit everyone though @BoudiccasBangles I am short/petite and they are so unflattering on me, skinny legs are better.

100% just wear what you love - you can't please everyone with your style so don't even bother trying to please anyone. To whoever made the comment about big arses - you obviously are one! It does not matter what size or shape we are - humans come as all sorts and we can all wear whatever we like. Get those sparkly threads on and enjoy them. 💖

I like these. Much sparklier than the M&S pair. I'd wear them if I had the figure for it. As my mum used to say, "If you've got it, flaunt it."

Unfortunately, I have a size 18 top, a size 20 bottom and a size 22 waist. I'd look like the bottom half of an oven ready turkey.

If they fit you and you're comfy in them, wear them. Life's too short. If you don't wear them, you'll regret it.

I'm liking your style !

Oh you'd hate me. I wear something glittery pretty much every day, and have done for years.

Me too, love my glitter and sparkles. If not glitter then lots of colour. "Never knowingly understated or underdressed" is my motto 😁

wear whatever you like and whatever you want!!! (Personally I love sparkles at Christmas cool or uncool🥰)

I suspect no longer cool, but would look good with the right boots and a thinnish, swingy jumper. Would look very Christmassy - and, hey! wear whatever you like! I go in for sparkles and spangles too and I am not 'middle-aged' (alas).

I think they are fantastic, and if I had a Christmas occasion to go to I would definitely be purchasing them

I mean objectively not trendy or fashionable at all - the oversized shirt and skinny bottoms look is outdated but on the other hand wear whatever the f you want ✌🏼

current trends would be dress tights boots or wide leg trousers

Well since you mentioned Rod Stewart I am shocked at home tame they are!
Perfectly fine for any party/Christmas event.
I was expecting something far more out there tbh.
I’m in the camp if wear what you like though. I can’t stand the fashion for tracksuits and leggings everywhere. Yes I do wear activewear but not for going out in.
Most people are not model slim either so I don’t think that matters.

Just wear them if you like them! Who cares about what anyone else thinks or doesn't think. Wear what YOU like, and hang the rest! Enjoy them.
