What the heck can I wear on my legs other than skinny jeans or leggings?

[donajimena]

I don't like skirts. So that leaves me with skinny jeans or leggings, I am going to university soon and will be cycling there so a smart trouser wouldn't be practical. Does anyone have any suggestions of alternatives?
I do have levi straight leg jeans which really don't do a lot for me other than mark me out as middle aged (I am middle aged )
I am also a whopping 36" inside leg which narrows the choice somewhat.
I wish you could get jogging bottom (with cuffed legs) style thick stretchy pants that looked casual rather than can't be arsed.
I have been to work today jn faded blue fat face ones (self employed cleaner) and I really do look like someone who has given up on her appearance.
Any help appreciated.

Sounds like you need harem pants. Have a look at Hush's, though they may be a bit short for you.

Hush harems will definitely be too short.

How about these?

They are in a tall fit.

There is a mid way... trousers that are cycleable in! Plenty of mid point between jeans and formal work trousers. Most shops have something. Eg

Or, jeans/ jeggings in colours that are not black or blue.

Or wear leggings to cycle in and change at work?

NC4Now I do like those and the price is good too. Do you think they would be acceptable with chunky timberland boots and a long top of some sort? I am not very adventurous and clueless with style
I really need someone to take me shopping.
I'd wear boots because of the cycling.

I can't wait until combats come back in style they were bloody comfy

Bum40 loves her athleisure and this is a recent blog post about them with lots of high street suggestions.

I wear corduroys, dungarees, smart suit trousers with Converse, crazy patterned harem pants, leggings and a tunic....You can cycle in smart trousers as long as you're comfy.

I love my hush Amie joggers

I'm tall and don't really like skirts and dresses.

There's lots of different trousers that fall between 'smart' and skinny jeans...

One example...

I like chinos

My much more fashionable friend informs me that cords are back, so give it a fortnight and see if there's lots of those to pick from in shops that cater to taller people. (I need petite so opposite issue ! I have just embraced wearing dresses and skirts, much easier to hide the fact it's not sitting on the bit of your leg it was designed to)

I hate this word but it does what it says on the tin: "treggings".

Dowager I wear those too and love them! I should have been more season specific.

I am an ex combat wearer from the 90s, and find chinos about as comfy

We are coming into spring here, so yes, wrong season sorry!

Boots and thick tights under skirts? Still feels like leggings but looks a bit different? Riding trousers? A jumpsuit?

I live in uniqlo leggings trousers in various colours - navy, grey, grey check, black - they come in other colours too. Like slightly less jeggingy jeggings. Uniqlo smart style ankle trousers are also excellent - I wear these with trainers or brogue

Cycling specific jeans. Look smarter but last better for cycling that normal ones.
