Good to know that I am not the only one who is thoroughly confused by the M&S trouser range! It's truly mind boggling!

I had to leave the shop and go for a lie down in the street.

The vast trouser seems to be a continuation of the enormous pavement trailing puff sleeved dress. Shortarses needed shortarse clothes! I am going to make a banner.

Lucy Sweet's avatar

Quite right! You could make a banner out of some M&S wide leg trousers

I was just on the verge of surrendering to the big trouser trend, so your post could not have come at a better time! 👏

I feel I can stay firm for at least another week. 🤞

Hilarious post! 😂 😂 😂

I went mad and bought a pair of palazzo jeans - they're massive - and tripped on first wear, so that was the end of them. Safety first, guys!

Trinny’s been reading you! If there’s anything more sartorially OCD-agitating than a flared cuff gathering grime, it’s “a pointy shoe”peeping out from one.

She’s really trying to draw your eye away from the terrible trousers but the main problem is that they’re terrible trousers

I really did think bougatsa was the name of a(nother) new jeans style. Thank goodness I didn’t put it into the search field on ASOS, the fashion police might have arrested me for gross ignorance.

Hahaha!

Tried on barrel leg jeans in M&S. Looked like Woody in Toy Story, confirmed by sight of faux cow skin waistcoat on rail on leaving changing room. Nuts.

I've succumbed to the barrel leg trend, they look ok,but l honestly don't wear them much. On the other hand,boot cut jeans look strangely boring now. And yes,in the past l've had several heart stopping near misses coming down the stairs in very wide trousers.

I live in Greece so l can have freshly baked bougatsa every day.l don't, but just had some today,funnily enough. 😋

That was a very funny post!

Lucy Sweet's avatar

Bougatsa every day! The dream. Although you’d probably need very big trousers after a while

Ive had to ban myself from entering the Lucyverse whilst in public. Today I snorted lentil soup out my nose all over my big trousers. Thanks Lucy x

Lucy Sweet's avatar

Hahahaa I’m sorry 😂

Joy Bonner's avatar

Dont worry, it was the best part of my day 😂

Lucy Sweet's avatar

I’ll pay for the dry cleaning x

Cooky Howitt's avatar

Can't stop laughing at "Do a little dance. Make a little love. Bougatsa night!" 😭😂 Oh God I need help

I am absolutely NOT doing wide trousers, no way, never again

I do like my carrot kecks, though. Big improvement on the parsnip pants I used to wear.

Lucy Sweet's avatar

Do they have turn-ips? (I’ll get my coat)

Betty Dubb's avatar

😆 No, they’re “cropped”, ie stop short of my cankles. No carrot flies on me…

Kate Burt's avatar

The thought of a constantly filthy trouser cuff distress me every time I pass a teenager.

Enough of the clown pants! I refuse to embrace the barrel leg. And I had my fill of flares in the ‘70s. I live in M&S Sienna straights and I’m not budging.

Enjoy your holiday, Lucy!

Lucy Sweet's avatar

Quite right too! (Sadly the only holiday I’m taking is to Eridanous to buy more bougatsa)

Wendy Varley's avatar

Doh! Reading without my glasses is never a good idea. Well, you can always dream of a Greek isle in the Greek aisle!

Lucy Pepper's avatar

Turn ups. Big trousers (or any trousers) on me are ridiculous… until I put turn ups in them and make them 3/4 length. Instantly acceptable (not good, obvs, but acceptable).

Rachel's avatar

👏👏👏👏 YES - I whole heartedly agree with everything in this post and laughed hard throughout...🤣🤣🤣
