So what if they're fashionable at the moment; have you seen what combat trousers do to your thighs? Because of those bulky pockets, they thicken at the most vulnerable part of the leg. Just to add to your problems, the low-slung waistband also gives the impression of adding a few pounds. Definitely not flattering. So, unless you want to be known for your chunky figure or are a member of All Saints, we suggest you give this look a miss.
