Wide leg trousers will be the death of me

Really. Today I am wearing those balloon style trousers and three times so far ( twice on the stairs) the toe on one leg has caught in the trouser leg on my opposite leg.
I am home alone today and if it happens again it could be the end of me.
You don’t get this danger with leggings.

Sadly I have a mahoosive leg following operations so wide legs are my only option.

I haven’t had any incidents with my wide legged trousers yet but about 20 years ago I was walking to work on a hot summer day wearing flip flops when the heavens opened. All of a sudden the soaking wet pavement combined with smooth soled shoes was like an ice rink, I literally couldn’t walk and made the rest of the journey (across Tower Bridge) barefoot!
