I saw these recommended on here months ago, have had them bookmarked for ages. Am about to buy...but am completely thrown by their sizing! I usually wear a 10, might go to a 12 for extra comfort as these will be monging trousers. So I was debating S or M, until I went to their sizing chart, here. According to which (I got a tape measure out and everything) I should be in a 16-18! Has anybody bought from here who can give me some advice on whether their sizes are really ridiculously small, or whether I shouldn't take any notice and go for a M as usual? Thanks ever so.

I wouldn't trust their size guide tbh
I am usually a 16 and I wear a medium in their trousers

You are using the MN 10% off aren't you

Well this may confuse you further but I actually go down a size with SB stuff as I was recommended to do so by the girls in the shop and they were right.

Have to say that I have two pairs of SB yoga trousers and although they were lovely when I bought them they haven't worn well at all so not worth the money imo. But if you're just wearing them around the house then probably fine, that's all I do with mine now although they were originally bought to wear to yoga classes.

boogeek this might be even more confusing but I have these (and love them - super soft) I'm a size 10 and have got XS and am forever pulling them up. So I'd go for S or even XS.

Ooh thanks for 10% off tip. lol07 - was there supposed to be a link?
Am reconsidering if they don't wear well - they are mostly for monging but I used to be a yogabunny and would love to get back into it one day. I like a quality buy ;)
Sounds like I should be going for XS not L, then! Gah.

Hmm, next stupid Q. How do I get the 10%? I look on the MN shopping links and can't see sweaty betty at all.

sorry - not very clear. am a bit sleep deprived .
I've found the fleecy SB stuff wears really well but the thinner summer stuff goes bobbly really quickly. Have washed these loads of times though and they still look good. Am wearing them now in fact (so could theoretically go into yoga pose at any point)

Hi,
I have the warrior pants in a size small - regular length. I'm a size 10 in most other sizes and find them very comfortable for both exercising and lounging in. I'm 5'6 and the regular length is just right for keeping them off the ground when wearing converse with them, iyswim?

I used this code: CDBF92 when I bought mine, not sure if it will still work, but worth a try as it's for 20% off.
