Don't know what to wear anymore

Hi all after lockdown I've gained quite a bit of weight. Just started to get back Into a routine of toddle groups now etc but no idea what to wear I've spent the last 18 months in joggers and hoodies basically at home. Or summer dresses

I keep seeing nice clothes on other mums and in shops but think I'm too big to wear them.

In my pre covid life I lived in a mummy uniform of dresses, tights and boots. Or skinny jeans. None of my clothes fit me now. I like to dress smartly when out of the house but its tricky.

I'm 5 foot tall, size 20 (BMI 37) and a SAHM so no work clothes needed yet. Also have a large csection overhang and often get asked if I'm pregnant

Help a mama out please!

I'm not sure what you would choose to wear on top, but I often wear yoga style pants, much more forgiving that skinny jeans, comfortable and doesn't emphasise my fat knees :)

Do you have any pics of the sort of thing you mean? I got some lovely soft baggy trousers a few weeks ago in m and s. Am wearing them to death!

I've got something like these but without the stripe. M & S currently don't stock the pairs I've got from a couple of years ago, but I tend to live in them.

I live in dresses, tights and boots in the winter. Knitwear optional if I am cold.
