are Linen trousers a disaster for getting overweight

[SuSylvester]

are they TOO forgiving? are they the jeggings of the summer season - do you get them as you know they will give and therefore put up with an increasing wasitband?

Mil going on and on about linen trousers and I thought - its only beaucse they GIVE

I have never bought or seen an nyone wearing a pair of flattering linen trousers.

Within a half hour of putting them on they look shapeless rumpled and decidely bedraggled.

Not a good lok, however big your arse is.

I ahve a grey pair and a navy pair and look crap in both, i feel so matronly in them

yes same wiht mine
i haev to try nad look casual in insouciant, not my normal tense and ABOUT TO BLOW

msn'd you about your dress

Have just been on M & S website looking for elasticated ones ......they were all sold out. I obviously need a style overhaul

I think buying new each summer helps, I know the sort of linen trousers you mean though, baggy, saggy, out if shape at the knees... They do lose their shape easily.

I think there must be a few things worse than wearing linen trousers (as long as they're not cropped) so I'm sticking with mine! Hey ho.

step away from the elasticated wiatband nannyj!

They are emailing me when back in stock I really want them.

What is this Fat Land book?
Sounds interesting.
