A big ask..summer clothes to hide both upper arms and knees??

[LalaLeona]

I'm not overweight around size 12, turning 40 this year..only trouble is I have scars on my upper arms that I hate and never show, and also horrible knees that are wrinkly and saggy! Any ideas of what I could wear now the weather is getting warmer? Every year it's a struggle!

There are quite a lot of midi length dresses around at the moment. Have a look at tea dresses and see if you like the style.

Watching this with interest as I too hate showing my upper arms.. I tend to wear elbow length or 3/4 sleeved tops and cropped jeans or trousers. Also, long a line t shirt material maxi skirts could work for you if you hate your knees

m&s do elbow length tshirts, in loads of different colours. think they're called "half sleeve"

Thank you all for suggestions it's really tricky to avoid looking frumpy! I also Googled off the shoulder midi dresses which came up with a few nice styles.

Thanks for the m&s tip!

I got a nice skirt with one of those ruched paper bag waists from fatface that is great midi length

Having had melanomas I have to keep covered in the summer so tend to wear 3/4 length cotton tops and trousers. Primark and Sainsburys have loads of lovely ones at the moment in lots of great colours - interesting sleeves on the tops if you like that sort of thing

Asos is fab!! Can buy now pay later and if you search for maxi dresses or sun dresses or off the shoulder dresses you’ll find plenty x

Jigsaw do a top called 'ballet back' which has a sleeve that ends just above the elbow. I have it in black and have just got another colour in the sale for £11!

Oh perfect will check all of these out!!

Just to add I’m basically living in openshpulder tops and 3/4 jeans in this weather

Yes me too..!

They might not be your style but I have quite a lot of these sort of loose linen clothes. This a good website or have a look on eBay for lagenlook and lots will come up (usually cheaper)

Thank you I like some of the tops..good prices too

Maxi dresses and gringo shrugs -also called Bali shrugs - might be an option?
