What to wear?

I challenged myself to not wear jeans and have managed since July. I've mainly worn two pairs of Phase8 cropped trousers.

Going into winter I'm struggling to find something similar thats not cropped. I got some pull one ones from Boden but they are very odd material.

What do you wear instead of jeans?

For info I am wfh, size 16, 51.

I have fallen out with jeans, just don’t find them comfortable anymore and am in a similar position as to ‘what to wear instead’, at the moment I’m mainly living in a pair of cord dungarees from run and fly, some combat trousers from M&S (that I bought in the summer) and pull in trousers from Lucy and yak. I do have a pair of hush joggers but I’m not that impressed by the quality against the price of them. I love the look of the hush cord trousers, I think they are pull on.

The stretchy ones were great and made me realise how uncomfortable jeans are. I bought hush harems once and they were ghastly on me!! MC Hammer wants his trousers back!!

I'm thinking maybe skirts might be better.

I had some tiered jersey dresses I wore a lot last winter but they're maybe not the most flattering.

I’m in love with elasticated waists though, I’m trying to find the perfect stretch skirt 🤣

Yes those are nice. The teal Hush ones are lovely but out of stock in lots of sizes!

I love the hush ones but I can’t justify buying them after I bought the cord boiler suit 😬

I bough dd a pair of stretchy combat style jeans from next the other day (kind of denim jeggings crossed with combats), she says they are the most comfortable trousers ever but I can’t find them online. Dd has quite a big bottom and struggles with normal jeans.

In love these www.peacocks.co.uk/lds-yoga-pant-6dae77.html they can be dressed up with a nice top and shoes.

Like @Lovemusic33 I’m also enjoying wearing cord dungarees although mine are from Lucy and yak. I have some in Green Bay and some in Grape which are both muted enough to be an every day colour.
I saw a beautiful pleated “vegan leather” skirt on the cos website the other day but alas I already have a faux leather midi.
Mint Velvet faux leather leggings are also fab, great value and get repeatedly good reviews on here.
