How would we know unless you post a picture of YOU wearing them? Yes that model looks fab they look like nice cords. If you like them and feel good in them, then wear them 😄

I think you're right...trainers and those cords would be very cool!

evilharpy · 23/10/2025 08:51

I think they are lovely, I was looking at them in the burgundy and olive for myself but both are OOS in my size.

DisplayPurposesOnly · 23/10/2025 08:53

I'm late 50s, size 14, and I look awesome in my slim bootleg jeans (if I do say so myself). So yes why not.

I saw these in M&S on Tuesday. They are fab! Didn’t have time to try them on but will go again next week. They have them in a straight leg too in lovely colours. I love cords, they remind me of the 90’s when we bought vintage ones in Crown Alley.

They were very unflattering for me but the straight legged ones, I have got in 3 colours as they looked great on me

Griseleda · 23/10/2025 09:13

They are lovely. I used to like jumbo cord trousers

Floisme · 23/10/2025 09:31

They look nice op. I have an unspent M&S voucher so I might get some too. It's my third time around.

I bought these cords last year and loved them. Wore them with trainers and boots and always felt good in them.

Trouble was they literally fell apart. It's like the fabric wasn't strong enough for them. They weren't tight on me but where the front patch pockets were sewn on the fabric split and the seams started to fray in several places.

Perhaps I struck unlucky, but it's a shame because I'd buy them again in other colours if I thought they'd last.

I actually bought these the other week but ended up returning as they just felt a bit shiny for me. I did like them though, so would admire them on someone else. I've just bought a similar pair from next which are a bit more matt, I liked them so much I got them in black and chocolate brown.

I plan to wear them with either trainers or boots.

They’re really nice! I’m 45, size 12/14 & would buy them! Used to wear corded flares in the 90s.

BoarBrush · 23/10/2025 14:58

I have very similar ones from superdry in loads of colours.

Itsbeenalongoldday · 23/10/2025 15:10

I bought them, have worn them once, quite like them just wish the khaki was darker it seemed to have turned grey from when i opened the packet to when i wore them !

Freda69 · 23/10/2025 16:41

I’ve got those in the burgundy colour - I think they’re really nice. I should have bought extra short but got short so had to take them up (5ft 1in). I wear them with trainers.
I've got several pairs of the straight ones as well - prefer them to jeans.

lindyloo57 · 23/10/2025 18:08

I have a 10%off for a week off I think I'll go in to store and try them on,

Are Extra short ever in store or only online?
