Need help - haven't worn trousers for six years!

[sparklingchampagne]

I'm having a crisis! I have no idea what to wear this summer - help me!

I'm 35, 5'4'' and size 12-14.
I haven't worn trousers since DD was born six years ago as I always feel my legs look enormous in them.
I have no trousers/tops/skirts at all!
BUT my varicose veins are so bad this year that the only dresses I will feel comfortable wearing without tights are maxi dresses - and as much as I like them sometimes I don't want to spend all summer wearing one!

So - help me find some trousers which I can wear - I want to look casual but not scruffy!!!!

Thank you, fashion divas!

I bought some cotton trousers from monsoon recently, pleat front and narrow leg which can be rolled a little; I have bad veins too, but ankles are ok! they are beige or is it khaki? go well with lots of tshirts and tops.

Harem pants - really. I am a very recent convert, but they are comfortable and flattering. I got a pair in Dorothy Perkins sale and am very chuffed with them

Thanks Jonnyfan and Daimbardiva - my ankles are ok to so I could get away with something like this - I will have a look at Monsoon stuff later.
Haven't even thought about harem pants - I am sure they will make my legs and hips look even heavier than they already are - do they not do this?

Weirdly, they don't seem to - even though there is a lot of material there, they just seem to hang really nicely. I have to admit that I am quite slim, but my friend who is curvier than me wears them too, and looks fab!
