Ideas for jeans alternatives?

[Alanis41]

Hi,

My wardrobe is currently summer dresses or beautiful tops to wear with jeans. I seem to struggle with finding stuff for my lower half. I'm size 14/16, good legs but I am dark so avoid black tops. I only have bright coloured tops which means, I think, I always gravitate towards something easy like a black skirt. Any thoughts or alternative?

Well, skirts, shorts or longer trousers. Some trousers are pretty casual and made out of slightly stretchy fabrics so they could be denim replacement.
