easy and quite flattering esp if long legs

foxinsocks · 16/06/2005 19:27

think they look great with long legs/small calves

I tried some on the other day and they made my legs look like tree trunks (legs are quite muscly and calves quite big)

anothermoredaringtaurean · 16/06/2005 19:29

ALoadOfCrispyCODBalls · 16/06/2005 19:33

GwynethPaltrow · 16/06/2005 19:33

I got a pair and dh said I looked like I was going paddling. I took them back.

aloadoffishyballs · 16/06/2005 19:34

enid!

foxinsocks · 16/06/2005 19:36

I quite like the ones that are a bit longer than long shorts (although I still think on instinct when I see someone wearing them that they are wearing trousers one size too small iyswim)

ps also a taurus!

aloadoffishyballs · 16/06/2005 19:36

sot he river island ones are more your hting
knee covering?

GwynethPaltrow · 16/06/2005 19:38

no actually I think they are horrid

well I would look horrific and like mutton in them

even though I do all that yoga (ahem)

foxinsocks · 16/06/2005 19:39

yup

though don't like the top of the riverisland ones (a bit fussy me)

I like the GAP ones - they're just not for me. Think those with luvverly legs carry them off well.

ALoadOfCrispyCODBalls · 16/06/2005 19:40

Think they look wierd.

But not as wierd as floaty skirts.dresses over trousers.

GwynethPaltrow · 16/06/2005 19:41

I got talked into buying a dress to wear over jeans once. I felt like Mrs Overall but was too embarrassed to take it back

foxinsocks · 16/06/2005 19:43

I see people wearing dresses over trousers and it looks like they couldn't decide what to wear so put their whole wardrobe on. I think it makes people look a bit like cleaners - like they are wearing some sort of overall over their normal clothes. V strange.

aloadoffishyballs · 16/06/2005 20:25

mrs overall
lol
yes think you have o be tall thin adn ethereal to get away wih it me I cnat imagine havig t o wash TWO pices of clothin

Nightynight · 16/06/2005 20:45

I LOVE the shalwar kameez type silhouette. Went out and bought a floaty one with silver sequins at the weekend, it looks great with jeans!
