Trouser based dilemma.

[EsmeWeatherwax]

I have a lot of pairs of jeans. I am tired of jeans. They're horribly uncomfy, and very unflattering, especially as I an very large of tum. So what's the alternative, bearing in mind I'm a sahm, so don't need work trousers etc. I am very tall, and long of leg, size 18/20. The archetypal apple! Help me please!

Bump. I am seriously interested. I am sick of being uncomfy in jeans and it sounds like we are similar size and shape. I would like to wear skirts more but end up with chafed thighs.

I have also tried the leggings and long tunic look but I think my legs are too chunky really and my bottom certainly is.

I'm not too bad in leggings and a long tunic I think, my legs are not too bad, its getting tunics long enough thats the problem. Also footwear, fine in winter when I can wear boots, but I have skinny ankles and big ol' size 9 feet, so leggings and shoes look ridiculous on me! Plus there's the whole tethered balloon look...
