What do you wear if your legs are too fat for jeans?

[BluebellTheDonkey]

Or have I just not found the right pair?
I have put on quite a lot of weight recently due to a number of factors, stress, DH working away, not enough exercise, comfort eating etc. I'm a size 14-16.
I have always carried my weight on my legs but I am finding that I now look like I have stuffed two lumpy sausages into my jeans! Thighs - huge. Knees - chubby. Thighs - massive. Not a good look.
Any advice? Anyone found a flattering style of jeans for chubster legs? Any other style of casual trouser I could try? Work clothes are fine I can get away with smart trousers but I'm really looking for something more casual. Oh and deffo not leggings, I look dreadful in them!
Thanks

Oops that second thighs was meant to be calves. Basically all huge though!

I wore leggings not helpful or tights and dresses/skirts. No trousers.

Straight leg or boyfriend jeans than come in a similar cut as work trousers? Lemme see if i can find some links. I'm an 18 and still wear jeans so you're definitely not too fat for them.it's all about finding a pair you feel comfortable in x

I am about the same size as you and I still wear streeeeeeeeettttttttccccchhhhyyyyy
jeans

Lycra is a must in my jeans obviously.

I wear skinnies btw with a stretch and always a good fit and where possible with a heel which in my case is a wedge heel.

Thanks for the replied. Rebel I would love a link if possible thank you! Number I honestly cannot imagine myself in skinnies, I think they'd just cling to the fat! Sigh.

Do you like them?

P.s. You'd be surprised how good skinny jeans can look if you find a good fit.do you have long legs?wear heels?

Black or dark grey jeans show it less, I find.

Or maybe a bootcut? These make your bun really nice too lol

Try straight leg jeans. Always with stretch.

Well you did say it didn't you alas. So you are rude.
Thanks rebel I don't have long legs which makes it worse, but I need to get in the habit of wearing heels. I really like that third picture, the darker pair. Does that style have a name? (Sorry, I am clueless!)

That pair from Next look nice too, not as wide at the bottom as some bootcuts. I will go and try some. Thanks so much

Jesus Alas, why even say that?

Bluebell they're called straight leg jeans x i'd recommend going to shops and trying lots on rather than online buying until you are comfortable with a certain style and fit. Little wedge sandals or flipflops can be a nice easy intro back into the world of heels :p

Thank you rebel you are a Yes I need to find time to go shopping, I think wedges could work well (low ones!) I'm 41 and fed up of feeling like I don't have a style, bit stuck in a rut really. Need to be brave and go for it! Could you come shopping with me?
Thanks for all the replies. (Not you alas you get a my first ever on MN)

But thank you for the apology.

Bluebell i'd love to!! I volunteer at a charity shop and i'm always dressing up the mannequins and the customers that don't run away :))

Rebel you are missing your true vocation, personal stylist!

I'd really dare you to go for something like this though.. pages.ebay.com/link/?nav=item.view&alt=web&id=281165808647&globalID=EBAY-GB

Jeans are safe :p

I miss the 90s/early 00s when you could get baggy skater jeans. I looked good in those! They hid my legs and emphasised my waist.
I just wear dresses now.
