Bootcut trousers

6 replies

Does anyone know where I can get some nice bootcut trousers or jeans, which are not denim blue or black?
I am after paler colours (stone, light grey etc) as lots of my tops are dark colours.
I am obviously straying away from being fashionable, as all the trousers I can in the shops find have straight legs - but I like bootcut as other cuts look ridiculous with my enormous feet.

Also I don't want a really high waist, as I still have a tummy from being pregnant with DD2 (4 months old) - I want it to do up below my stomach.

Please help, I literally have no trousers I can wear, as I seem to have completely changed shape since before I had DD.

Not commenting on the bootcuts in particular (although wide legs would prob be nicer) but dark tops with lighter bottoms is a difficult look to pull off. I had a quick look but i see your problem- they are all per una-esqe or tailored work wear!

Note very pale but Gap bootcut trousers are much better than most here

Really Ellangirl, why is it difficult to pull off?

Sorry, I could have explained better. I personally don't wear light bottoms at all, as it draws attention to my thighs which are not my best part. So, I don't go too light on my bottom half for that reason. Plus toddler handprints are not the best look on trousers Grin. Why don't you want denim coloured by the way?

I don't mind one pair denim-coloured, but I want to buy several pairs of trousers (that actually fit me) for the winter and I didn't want to look as though I was wearing the same pair all the time, or to look all dark and gloomy all over Grin.

It is true that my thighs are not my best part either , so maybe I should go with the dark trousers and invest in some bright coloured scarves or necklaces or something...
