Do these trousers look ridiculous on me?

[catteabook]

Picture pending, but reasonably voluminous balloon legged trousers on short woman.

please be honest but not mean.

For context - 45yrs, 5’3”, slightly ‘alt’ leaning style but far from full on alternative/goth/emo.

don’t say ‘if you like them that’s all that matters’ or similar because I can’t decide if I like them, and that is why I’m posting.

I think they would look awful on anybody. They are not to my taste.

They look as good on you as they would on anyone. You have a great figure.

They don’t look very good imo

I love them and I think you look great in them!

They're awful. Sorry.

it’s a no from
me

No, sorry just no.

Yes they do look ridiculous on you, but I have no idea who would look good in them.

They are definitely not flattering.

No, but I don't think they'd look good on anyone.

Gosh, I don’t like them.

If say you were a juggler and needed some trousers for your act then great, I’m guessing you aren’t so no.

I like them, but I do get a pyjama bottom vibe.

If (when wearing) you changed the top to something definitely not a pj top, it could work.

Ridiculous is probably too harsh. I think I’ve seen these style of trousers look fab with a doctor martin but it requires them to be sitting higher up on the leg.

Ummm, would you be wearing them outside the house?

I'm alt leaning too and I do see why you bought them but I'm not keen on them. There's just too much material in them. You'd probably suit this style more...

Lots of posters will say yes because they hate the style, so don't think it looks good on anyone.

But you have narrow hips, which those massive trousers need, in order to hang as they are meant to. So, no, they don't look ridiculous on you, if that's the style you are aiming for.

These are much better. I have also seen better balloon trousers at Uniqlo.

I personally don’t like them but if you do then wear them!

I quite like them are they high waisted? Could you wear a shorter top with them like a 3/4 length top that shows your waist off because I feel the longer top shortens the leg

I think you could pull them off with the appropriate jacket but the colour is a bit meh.

Ridiculous? No. They’re a specific look and if you’re going for slightly grungy, traveller, artist vibes then they work. If you’re trying to look formal or dressed up in any way they don’t.

I've seen loads of teens and twenty-somethings in these trousers, so you might be asking the wrong demographic, here on MN!

I think they're ok, but you need to wear with a top tucked in or one that ends at the waist so you can see the full length of the trousers.

They look fine - all baggy trousers look slightly ridiculous, that is the fashion and if I saw you in them, I probably wouldn’t even take any notice.

What do you like about them that made you choose to get them?

I don't think they flatter your lovely figure.

No they absolutely don’t look ridiculous in you. They might not be to my taste but that’s not the same thing. You wear them fine.
