Okay, I need a jeans alternative

[ElizabethinherGermanGarden]

I have worn jeans every day I'm not at work since I was ten years old. I'm 43 now and have quite fat legs and I had a bit of an epiphany this morning that maybe I need to wear something else. But what else is there? I'm 5'5", size 14.

Help me! I have no other frame of reference.

What about something like chinos? I've got a few pairs from gap, fat face and white stuff. I go for tapered fit, 7/8 length and find them pretty comfortable and flattering.

I also have linen trousers, cord jeans for winter and a load of comfy stuff for slobbing around in.

I agree that chinos could be good. And in summer, linen trousers are lovely and cool, as are maxi dresses.

Watching with interest. I'm short and only a size 10 but Jean's just dont look good on me anymore. I used to have a really defined waist but I dont anymore and always been sturdy of thigh. I did recently find some dorothy perkins Jean's that are a great fit as in feel nice but they dont look that good.
