Don't have legs for leggings any more but like the whole dresses/tunics over trousers look and want a change from jeans as can't wear skinnies (those damn legs again).

Would these be a complete mistake?

I don't understand how they work.

If you click on "view more images" you get a better view.

Tis daft to show them all folded up, imo, though I suspect there is good reason for that...

Anyone?

they look a bit like leggings that ar too big
neic colour tho

JackieNo · 02/10/2008 14:19

WHat shoes would you wear with them?

Bobbiewickham · 02/10/2008 14:20

I'd get the black, I think.

Too big not such a disaster, compared to how I look in normal ones.

Was worried about the nappy/jodhpur effect.

i don't like it very much. i do like the brown strech trouser though

nailpolish · 02/10/2008 14:20

if you are tall i think they will be ok

Bobbiewickham · 02/10/2008 14:20

Perhaps...pumps?

Am looking for something to tuck into boots.

I wish I could have some skinnies

OP posts:
Bobbiewickham · 02/10/2008 14:21

I'm five foot seven, size 12 top and 14 bottom.

Will they look crap?

I got Toast catalogue in the post this morning and had clocked these as being particularly weird. The description makes them sound like they would be quite baggy above the knee which would look odd with a tunic. Have you got a Toast near you? - think that you should try them on and report back.

Bobbiewickham · 02/10/2008 14:22

I might just order them and send them back if crap.

OP posts:
Bobbiewickham · 02/10/2008 14:23

Weird?

Trust me!

OP posts:
nailpolish · 02/10/2008 14:23

i think yu should try them
they will be nice with pumps
skinnies are over rated btw

coalbucket · 02/10/2008 14:24

I think they look interesting.

they are like the style of trousers that pakistani women (i tink) wear with those tunics (someone help), and I always like the look of those.

Try them and tell us!!

Bobbiewickham · 02/10/2008 14:25

I've got lots of nice boots (well two pairs) that I can only wear with skirts.

Want something I can tuck in, without loads of fabric bunching up.

Was reduced to trying to pull pop socks over jeans yesterday, like some big stupid trouser condom.

Didn't work.

I can't wear skinny jeans either due to large thighs.
I do wear black leggings under dresses though.
I'm not tall enough to wear these, but I think as you are tall they will look OK, with a dress or tunic top.
Try them and report back

Bobbiewickham · 02/10/2008 14:26

Do you mean shalwar kameez? (sp)

Don't really want them that baggy...

OP posts:
Bobbiewickham · 02/10/2008 14:26

Right, will order.

Here goes...

OP posts:
Bobbiewickham · 02/10/2008 14:28

Oh God, what size do I need?

[pathetic and needy emoticon]

OP posts:
Bobbiewickham · 02/10/2008 14:30

Sold out, after all that.

Back to the drawing board.

OP posts:
Szyslak · 02/10/2008 14:30

Well what size are you??

Do repprt back they look intersteing.

Bobbiewickham · 02/10/2008 14:32

14, which have now established is a large

But sold out, so academic now.

OP posts:
paddingtonbear1 · 02/10/2008 14:32

were you trying an L?
would an M not fit?
I am a 12/14 and would get the M.

Bobbiewickham · 02/10/2008 14:33

Maybe...might not be so baggy then.
