What to wear on my bottom half?!

[Bringnbuy77]

I am struggling to know what to wear on my legs, I’m 40 and a size 16-18. My job is a bit practical so I can wear what I like although I can’t be scruffy, I’m allowed trainers as long as they are clean/new. I have lots of smart casual tops and shirts, I am 5.11 so like long shirts, have a few denim or plain and a few longish tops although not tunics really. I don’t mind dresses but have got out of the habit of wearing them, I sometimes feel all the material of a dress makes me look bigger. At the moment I wear jeggings and a nice top everyday with either boots or white leather converse but I’m struggling to keep them looking nice but also feel they aren’t overly flattering. Anything amazing I’m missing?

Similar age/size to you OP and I love Hush harem trousers, too casual?

Quite expensive but worth it as they wash well and seem to last.

I like hush, I find their tops don’t wash well so this is a good recommendation, perhaps il get lucky in the sale.

Look at H and M for button ground trousers they go up to an xxl and are a nice smart casual trouser

Button front

Following. I short and have a big bum and thighs and I find that straight leg or fitted trousers give me parsnip legs so I'm struggling with trousers.

Wide leg jeans will be the most flattering. M & S do the most amazing wide leg high rise @ £29.50 in lots of colours. I wear mine with a skinny rib polo, s16.
