Does anyone else think that trousers like this are hideously ugly?

And aren’t at all flattering even on tall, super-slim models? Let alone anyone of a more normal size.

I do buy from this company but they are increasingly featuring this sort of thing.

I like cuff leg trousers and have jeans with them, but I would not buy linen whatever the shape as I don’t like the way it creases and the knees ‘bag’.

I cannot see anything particularly unattractive about them.

Nannagarra Sun 14-Aug-22 20:45:41

I’m not tall and my legs are my best feature so I’m sticking with something probably out of fashion!

I like cuff legs, I just don't like them above the ankle. But of course we are all different.

So, what would be more flattering? Something like these - shock

I think they are awful sorry !

I hoped you were !!

I fail to see what is unfeminine about the trousers in the OP.

Personally I think wide legged trousers suit very few people probably only those with lovely long slim legs

I don't like the colour, and they'd look hideous on me, but I'm sure they're fine on other people, if that's what they like.

I don't wear white plimsoles and I'm part of everyone

They're baggy and shapeless (but then, so am I grin). I wouldn't wear them, but I bet they're cool and comfotable

henetha Mon 15-Aug-22 10:32:15

I'd only wear them in the house. Not a flattering look for me to go out in. But I'm sure they are fine for some.

HeavenLeigh Mon 15-Aug-22 11:52:54

No I don’t like them at all, but they aren’t ugly

Cycorax Mon 15-Aug-22 11:56:47

Not ugly at all: nice colour, nice shape, but best on someone who is tall and slim. I would wear them, although I am only about 5ft 4" and definitely overweight. Might make me loose a stone or two!

Rainwashed Mon 15-Aug-22 12:00:49

I would wear them , but wouldn’t pay that price for trousers.

Froglady Mon 15-Aug-22 12:04:08

Can't see anything wrong with them at all.

Camelotclub Mon 15-Aug-22 12:05:13

Not as bad as those hideous ripped jeans. I hope that trend is over.

fluttERBY123 Mon 15-Aug-22 12:14:26

Au contraire, nipped in at the ankle like that is good for those of us with big bums. Could be a touch longer.

Kim19 Mon 15-Aug-22 12:17:20

Think they look casual and comfy. What's not to like?

Madmother21 Mon 15-Aug-22 12:17:40

I think they make your feet look huge because of the tight ankles.

NotAGran55 Mon 15-Aug-22 12:20:05

Not ugly in the slightest. The style and colour wouldn’t suit me but I think they would be elegant on the right person, like all the Poetry styles. Their fabrics and quality are excellent.

BassGrammy Mon 15-Aug-22 12:24:31

Aren't there lots of clothes that we "wouldn't want to wear"? So don't buy them! I agree that I wouldn't buy them or wear them, but my grandaughters would love them!

Lupin Mon 15-Aug-22 12:34:34

I like the whole outfit, trainers and all. In fact, I have 3 pairs of harem style Summer trousers which are light and cool to wear, and I am a size 18, 5 ft 6 in height. Have also had compliments when wearing them. If that outfit suited me when I tried it on I would happily wear it. Those ankle skimming trousers are fashionable at the moment and that's the only thing I am unsure of.

sodapop Mon 15-Aug-22 12:39:39

I think to say the trousers are hideously ugly is too extreme. Not my choice but fashion is such a personal thing. I think they look cool and comfortable.

Coco51 Mon 15-Aug-22 12:40:45

I hate the current trend of cropped trouser. I have long legs and cannotunderstand why so many sellers only offer 27 or 29 inside leg.

4allweknow Mon 15-Aug-22 12:43:35

They look like shrunken joggers.
