Do they pick up fluff? All the cords I've had in the past (M&S and Gap) seem to have part time jobs as fluff detectors. A pity, as I've got a bit of a liking for corduroy and I especially fancy grey ones.

I like that grey cardigan in your first link too - unfortunately I see things in Next that look nice online and then they are often thin and lurid and horrible in reality.

Sorry Cod - am lost. Have had a weird full-moony kind of day at work and am being a bit slow on the uptake.

I haven't got them; will need to investigate them now I know they are not fluff-picker-uppers - but Next sizes aren't always great for me.

Now, I am only 5'2" so will need to see if they do them in petite. Will they make my short legs look long and sylph-like then?

kt14 · 18/09/2008 20:19

grey ones now on order. will go nicely with new grey boots I hope. damn this site, have spent a fortune this week.

They look lovely; I like the slight flare. Not grey though. Will have a lool at the weekend.

janeite · 18/09/2008 20:23

A lool?! Or maybe even a look.

fishie · 18/09/2008 20:24

i am going tomorrow lunchtime to try. do they go big after a few hours? i really hate that big knee thing in cords.

i have been to shop and tried in brown. they are very nice fit on hips and thighs, although am worried the bootcut is a bit too flared, may have to take them in a bit. oddly neither covent garden branch of next has ever heard of grey ones so i will have to order.
