Something instead of jeans.

[NovRainbow5]

What do you wear instead of jeans? (Pic of examples if possible)
I’m 4months postpartum and can’t stand how restricted i feel wearing jeans. Even the stretchy type don’t fit right.

Have a look at Erica Davies on Instagram, she did a big story on this very subject a couple of weeks ago (saved in her highlights)

The short answer (for me!) is chinos in khaki, navy or black. Also wide-leg jersey trousers when comfort is the most important thing!

Chinos have been a good substitute for me - you can wear them with the same other clothes and look casual. The navy ones I have are quite flattering too.

I have some high waisted bamboo maternity leggings from Seraphine in black. I ended up with about five pairs- I live in these now as trousers! they are so comfortable and since I am breastfeeding they keep my belly warm when I breastfeed, even though I don't have the bump anymore.

How about a denim shirt dress with tights/leggings or a slouchy jumpsuit/dungarees. I find those easy to slot into my wardrobe (because I'm so used to wearing denim and it somehow goes with everything else) but they don't squeeze in the middle!

I’d love to wear chinos but the ironing puts me off. I used to wear dresses a lot when my job was more professional but I have to wear tights to feel comfortable and that’s a pain when just chilling out. Wide legged jersey trousers sound good though

Sorry I’m not much help

Where do you all buy your chinos from? I've never found any flattering ones (im
a curvy size 18 so possibly that's why)

Anywhere they do them in short length! Last ones from Dorothy Perkins. Also Fat face and M&S

I never wear jeans. Haven't owned a pair since 1990. I don't understand what the attraction is.
