Loons to me were flared trousers in 2 different colours. The lower leg in bottle green for instance and the upper leg in maroon or some other equally dodgy combo.

In the Aberdeenshire Doric, which is spoken here where i live a loone  a boy or man and sometimes a loonie and a girl is a quine or a quinie.   It is a totally different language.  It takes a while to get used to it, but I now speak and understand the language fluently.    ;) :D

We used to wear them with short smocks and wedge soled high shoes in the 70's. Loved them, very comfy as I remember. ;D

Yes Bluwise, yes Lottie, yes pussinboots - exactly!

I remember wearing mine with a pair of green cork wedges and a cheesecloth shirt.
