Dress me for summer, without me getting my legs out.

[NameChangeOnTheRegular]

I live in band t-shirts, jeans, trainers, boots etc. which serves me pretty well for a good part of the year in UK, really.

Come the summer and everyone is wafting about in dresses (which wouldn't suit me) and looking cool, and I am in boots. The obvious answer would be denim shorts, then I could go about my wardrobe-business as usual, but my legs are my worst feature – pale, lumpy and always bruised. Allergic to most fake tans, and I'm super lazy... sooo, what options can you think of?

linen trousers?

Nice enough on other people, but they don't feel very 'me'...

Who do you think dresses wouldn't suit you?

What about something like these trousers:

Now it is warmer, I still wear jeans, but cuffed/turned up. I wear them with trainers like Converse or Superga, or flip flops or flats.

I also quite like chinos.

What about a maxi skirt? Or plain black leggings and a black ruched skirt, tshirt and converse or sandals.

I've found cropped skinny jeans from DP which are great for keeping cool and can wear with anything.
Also maxi and midi dresses and skirts are fab.

I have found a long tube skirt or a
jersey maxi dress good for those days I didn’t want to get my legs out.

I had a couple of really nice dresses from Dorothy Perkins that had drawstring waists but I can’t see any at the moment.

Ooh, pestilential, I quite like your trouser options, bravo. I'd never have thought of them myself but can see them with t and trainers...

Yes to cuffed jeans, I'm going to investigate a looser style than skinnies.

Bigfatbloomers, I quite like the idea of a jersey maxi too.
