These have got to be comfortable, no?

As a Sassenach I thought trews was only used for tartan trousers confused

Yorkshire and Lancashire tykes like me use both words as well as breeches, trousers, trews and leggins (which last are not the same as leggings).

I used to refer to Minibags's riding breeks, but the Dundonian grandfather of my first husband talked about his wedd'n troosers, which he was very proud to tell anyone who'd listen, still fitted him when he was a grandfather.

Should they not have an internal hula hoop like real clown trousers? Note, being Scottish, I'd wear breeks rather than troosers.

Getting flippin pop ups for the company since I opened the link. I'd never heard if them before.

I think they are fun but probably not for me. I can see you in them, though, bags. smile

I love them. I am not young, but I am slim and quirky smile

nfk, grin

treebee, yes! Pocketses! Yes! Many's the time when it's the pocketses of a garment that have been the ultimate decider for me. I remember a time when I was shopping for a dress with my mum. I was trying one on and found the pockets. "Oh, pockets!" I said. Mum turned to the shop assistant and said, "Sold!"

well Halloween parties are coming up sometime soon ?

Treebee Sun 18-Sept-16 21:48:55

I used to have a garment like this back in the day. I love that they have pocketses!

NfkDumpling Sun 18-Sept-16 20:46:48

If you turn around fast, do they stay put I wonder?

Liz46 Sun 18-Sept-16 20:30:08

Horrible

LullyDully Sun 18-Sept-16 20:08:15

Lovely if you are young, slim and quirky........I am not young, slim or quirky sadly.

There are some very reasonably priced fabulous winter dresses on that site, rather strangely listed under 'Sweater'.

Auntieflo Sun 18-Sept-16 17:44:36

Sunseeker, That's exactly what went through my mind when I saw the picture.

soop Sun 18-Sept-16 12:52:26

Fab! grin

thatbags Sun 18-Sept-16 12:30:58

I've been thinking the shoulder straps would slip off too, oldgoat, but I guess you could cross the straps over at the back.

tanith Sun 18-Sept-16 12:25:31

Very nice for my granddaughters but not for me sorry.. if you like them then wear them.

Ceesnan Sun 18-Sept-16 12:21:07

Oh yes! Love them!

BlueBelle Sun 18-Sept-16 11:33:34

Fine if you have no boobs at all, a fairly skinny frame and a very pretty face then you can get away with a potato sack otherwise noooooo

Jayh Sun 18-Sept-16 11:26:22

Nope. Too much material to trail on the bathroom floor when going to the loo.

TriciaF Sun 18-Sept-16 11:19:18

They look lovely! But I would rather just have the baggy troosers, from the waist, without the straps.
I've got a pattern for flared trousers which I've made several times. Cotton or viscose for summer, and needlecord for winter.

oldgoat Sun 18-Sept-16 10:53:07

Lovely colour, but I'm sure the straps would slip off my shoulders and they'd finish up round my ankles.

Maggiemaybe Sun 18-Sept-16 10:46:50

Not for me. Yes when I was a skinny 20 or 30 something, but now I'd just look as though I'd escaped from a secure unit.
