Cycling shorts

[PumpkinP]

I am a size 16 and trying to lose weight, I have already lost 3 stone but have more to lose. I really hate wearing dresses as I feel too big and don’t like having my legs out so I normally wear them with leggings but it’s so hot. Would cropped leggings think they are called cycling shorts?? Would they look ok with a dress? I’m not very fashionable, not a dressy dress like a T-shirt dress. Would it go? Help

Cycling shorts are usually not just cropped but lycra tight proper shorts, I’m not sure if you don’t like your legs you would like them much! They are good under dresses if you get chub rub though!

Why don’t you look for midi length dresses?

Disagree with poster above. I’m in my early 20s and everyone wears cycling shorts. Not the Lycra sort, just literally cropped leggings. It’s been a thing for years now. Worn with an oversized tee casually or a crop top for going out. Co-ords look nice too

So go for it OP!

Cycling shorts are exactly what a PP said like leggings now not Lycra.
They are so comfy.
Defo go with a long T-shirt

But Don’t want to end up looking silly 😂 I’ve tried longer dresses but struggle to dress for my shape and after seeing a pic of me wearing a midi dress I honestly looked even bigger because it was so shapeless.

You wouldn't see cycling shorts under a dress they are supposed to sit between the top of your leg and knee. Do you mean pedal pusher length which sits just a bit below the knee?

Yes something down to the knee then a short dress/long top
