More women should wear trousers

[LadyBlaBlah]

a lot ofSome women look dreadful in skirts and dresses and should just wear trousers.

That's it.

[CerealOffender]

maybe they don't give a shite what you think and like wearing skirts.

[LadyBlaBlah]

I imagine that is the case

But they would still look better in trousers

[CaptainNancy]

I Wear trousers every single day.... its too cold to get your legs out in b ritain!

[FranSanDisco]

Captain Nancy, are you sure? It's hot here at the moment.

[BelligerentGhoul]

Well I look better in dresses and skirts - so ner! It's a problem in weather like this though, when you don't want tights but it's a bit cool for bare legs.

Hello Captain Nancy btw - are you okay? Tis J.

I am wearing a dress today, with bare legs - but my feet are cold.

[ReasonableDoubt]

I often think the opposite. So many women wear unflattering, mumsy black trousers. Get your legs out, FGS!

[BeenBeta]

YABU!

More women should definitely wear more dresses and skirts. Put it this way if you look awful in trousers - a dress is going to suit your figure far better.

Has anyone not seen Mad Men? The women wear dresses, blokes wear trousers, everyone looks gorgeous.

[LadyBlaBlah]

Have you surveyed opinion on whether you actually look better in skirts and dresses than trousers?

[AnnoyingOrange]

I though you were going to say wear trousers rather than leggings

So many women look terrible in leggings, but they still wear them

[ReasonableDoubt]

I can carry off both because I am tall and have good legs. If that sounds like boasting, perhaps it is

[BelligerentGhoul]

Me? I think I am still of sound enough mind to know the truth as it confronts me in a mirror! Trousers, especially jeans, make me look shorter and fatter than I am. I have decent-ish legs still, so look slimmer when I show them off.

[FranSanDisco]

Large bums and thighs should be covered by skirts surely not trousers.

[LadyBlaBlah]

Thats cos you is from London, reasonable

Cover the whole lot FranSanDisco, that's what I say

Large bum, large thighs - also large calves?

[HonestyBox]

Please - I measure 27 (waist) and 41 (hips), I cannot possibly wear trousers even if I wanted to (and I do want to). Sadly, trousers and jeans are relegated to 'items of the past' status for me and I feel very frumpy sometimes in my skirts and dresses even though I do like wearing them.

I do wear leggings though, also leggings with skirts and legging with dresses and I'm not stopping so there.

Generally trousers look better on men imo but big bums can pull it off if perky enough - I have a great big booty-ish ass and it would look good in trousers if only I could find them. Big flat bums are no good in trousers imo.

[traceybath]

Wow, Wow, Wow.

So let me add that to my list of things I shouldn't wear according to some on MN: skinny jeans, white jeans, maxi dresses, jeggings and now skirts and dresses.

I'll just slip on a nice pair of bootcut trousers and a tunic top shall I

In all seriousness I think trousers/jeans are less forgiving than a well cut dress.

[KristinaM]

there are skirts/dresses and trousers to suit EVERY shape. YABU

[tethersend]

Dresses look better than trousers on most people.

[AlaskaNebraska]

lol at tracey

[MissWooWoo]

yes cover the whole lot! we wouldn't want to upset anyone's sensibilities

[CaptainNancy]

I have to agree that belligerentghoul looks much better in skirts and dresses than I do! (I thought you were on holiday, hence your absence!)

FranSan- seriously I think I have worn a skirt or dress fewer than 5 times in 5 years... I made a pledge earlier this summer to wear a skirt/dress at least once a week... and that lasted 2 weeks

belligerent- we need to have lunch... will email.

[BelligerentGhoul]

Great - yes please. Am going slowly mad here with two teenagers who don't want anything to do with me.

[CaptainNancy]

would you like to go en famille?
They could amuse my two, and we might actually get to talk then

Of course... you could swan off with me and leave them to cook dinner...

[ProfessorLaytonIsMyLoveSlave]

Have spent last twenty years in trousers and the last six months gradually realising that actually dresses suit me far better. It's been a revelation!

[Mooos]

I always think there are a lot of big-arsed women wearing trousers who obviously don't have mirrors at home.

Sometimes when I'm walking behind them I just can't stop looking at their fat wobbling arses and wondering what possessed them to go out in public looking like that.
