Can I go entirely off topic on the second post?
I have a huge problem. I have bought jodhpurs (purely as a fashion item). Actually I have bought two pairs. I have gone a little mad on the Hobbs sale (thank you FC, I have spent a fortune saving a fortune:cool:).
!!!!!! do you wear on your feet with them?
Riding boots just look ridiculous, I look like I am entering a dressage competition.
Help.................Retail is the only therapy that works0 -

You are on a fe cking horse. I am not.
Treliac, I have never been ahead of anyone on the fashion front in my life.
However I love this Hobbs stuff. It just needs a bliddy instruction bookRetail is the only therapy that works0 -
telegraph wrote:Well, up to a point. Jodhpurs are also easy to get wrong. They're great for disguising the aptly named saddle-bags, but look for pairs with pockets set at the front, not the sides, as these will accentuate hips. Also, beware - they can make your calves look fat if they are too tight in the leg. The best solution is to buy a pair with buttons from calf to ankle, which you can adjust to give yourself more leeway.
When choosing what to wear with your jodhpurs, it's all in the mix. Ring the changes with silk shirts and pearls, a classic black polo neck or a Victoriana blouse. Always tuck your top in and accentuate your waist with a belt.
And a final word of warning: never accessorise with equestrian props. Riding boots are a no-no. To carry off jodhpurs, you'll need a pair of stack heels, platforms, coloured patent round-toes or shoe-boots. The tall can stick to ballet pumps.

Given that it was in fashion in 2007, Jodhpurs are probably already out of fashion. Edit: although, I did find this reference: http://www.fashionising.com/trends/b--Jodhpurs-as-day-wear-womens-fashion-trend-2447.html .“The ideas of debtor and creditor as to what constitutes a good time never coincide.”

No, I'm sure wageslave is right. Anyway don't take the joy out of her new trews.0 -
jodhs always come back. The thing is, because they were ''work clothes'' for me I'd as soon wear them out as a plumber would a boiler suit. so never thought about it much, more just how to make them acceptable to wear into the food shops on the way home without changing...0
