So what do size 16's short arses (under 5ft 2's) wear on their legs

[Mum72]

I am vertically challenged and a size 16. I cannot bring myself to wear skinny jeans or jeggings. IMO - it would not be a good look so what does one wear instead and still be able to wear the lastest trends on the top half!

All the tops, cardis etc seem aimed at being worn with skinnies, jeggins and leggings!

I have 2 pairs of straight leg jeans in blue and black denim. I have countless pairs of bootlegs but have gone right off them now.

So what do you recommend for the vertically challenged size 16's amongst us? Any suggestions, should I just try skinnies in he fitting room and see how hideous they really look on???

Help please!

i am five two and a little bit, so not sure if i fit into your group.

as a ssize 16, i found there were very few things that actually suited me, or i iiked the look of on me. boot leg trousers and jeans were good. skinny jeans were always awful because they would never ever fit in the right places. too loose on the belly and too tight in the leg etc. leggings and dresses always made me feel better. or tunics and leggings.

hope someone else comes along with better advice. for me, i felt happier when i went down to being a 12/14 as i just dont think they know how to make clothes properly for shorter people in the shops that i could afford.

skirts and dark tights...thank goodness summer's over
