Need some help to get me out of skinny jeans

I spend my life in skinny jeans and usually wear them with blouses and a jacket . But I am so bored with this look and would love to have a dress to wear when I go out - just for lunch or too the pub so nothing too dressy.
I am fairly slim - size 8 - but I am a short arse and my legs are chunky so prefer longer dresses. I am 56 and don’t want to dress either too old or too young. Can’t find anything so would appreciate any suggestions. My style is more floral/ hobo and I don’t like the lindybop style.
Can anyone help

There are so many lovely dresses about this summer! I also think a wider leg jean or a straight cut jean is more modern than skinny jeans.
With dresses try a style that finished at the ankle - this gives the illusion of a slimmer leg (if that’s your worry) I like bracelet length sleeves or a fluted shorter sleeve.
Try Zara, M&S, H&M

Hey OP. I've recently changed from skinny jeans as well. I've just gone off them. I'm also short 5ft and a six 8 and lately I've been wearing wide leg jeans, culottes and paper bag type trousers with a vest top tucked in and pointed flats or flip flops and some nice chunky jewellery. Good luck. Watching with interest though.
