Boden Chinos- are they middle aged, or okay?

Says it all really- thinking of buying but wonder if they are just a tad too staid- even though I qualify as middle aged!

how about ecru jeans from next? look here they might be less middle aged!!

i bought their moleskins. they went in the charity bag lol.
not bought chinos.
not sure if my shape or their shape were the problem tbh...

Got their moleskins and always feel a bit frumpy in them.

Next stuff is nice but their jeans are often too low slung for me.

Boden trousers fit so badly

howtotellmum · 03/04/2009 19:48

I must be a weird shape as I have several pairs of their trousers and they fit pretty well!
Sizing is all over the place though. They sometimes have jodpur thighs, but if I can get a slim-ish pair then they do fit my bum and hips- and the rise is high enough to hide a muffin top.

2 words: boden and chinos. do you really have to ask?

Ewe · 03/04/2009 19:55

Chinos are hideously middle aged, regardless of where you buy them!

Thanks-that has decided it for me- no chinos.

Good decision, I won't be entertaining chinos in my wardrobe until my hair is mostly grey. And that's not going to be for a while I hope..

my hair will never be grey- i like my lowlights too much.
