I love wearing shorts. I run a lot and tan well so I’ve always felt confident in them and given the choice would wear them as soon as the weather turns warm until September, and I run in shorts all year except the middle of winter. There aren’t many areas of my body I actually like so I am determined to keep wearing shorts if I can.
however, I’ve put on a bit of weight this year, and I don’t think I will fit into my existing ones this summer. Some of my new weight is fat, but some is muscle mass, I have glutes, quads and hamstrings (bum and thighs) and a fairly narrow waist in comparison. I need nice, loose fitting shorts, I’d like a high waist but am happy with a low rise. But the problem is anything that fits on my waist is too tight round my thigh. Everything looks like cycling shorts and is horribly unflattering. If I go any bigger in size the waist will be too big.
please help me mumsnet, where can I get them??
for reference, I bought some fat face blue chino ones on Vinted and they are the right size on my waist but way too tight all the way round the thigh, but they are the sort of style I’m looking for.
