Summer wear esp trousers

8 replies

Over the past few years I've put on
lots of weight around my middle. I'm a size 14. I really struggle dressing in the summer and especially with what to wear trouser wise when it gets too hot for jeans and denim. Everything else makes me look huge. What light summery trousers can I wear that will keep me cool but not emphasise my expanding middle?? Help!

How tall are you OP? I spoke light weight, wide leg trousers in the summer but I'm quite tall. Anything cropped just doesn't look good on me.

Palazzo pants and a nice glow shirt?

Wide leg linen trousers always look good I think with a nice shirt, pretty sandals and painted toe nails. It’s classic for a reason

I wear linen-mix trousers, with a button and zip, I avoid the drawstring waist ones as they don't hold my tummy in. Next had some nice ones last year.

Wide leg linen trousers. M & S do them and I have a lovely pair from Landsend.

Can't be beaten if you still want trousers instead of a skirt or shorts. The linen does crease a bit but I find them comfy to wear and a great look for summer.

Mint velvet had some lovely wide legged legged trousers last summer. I bought 2 pairs & wore them loads.
