Get me out of jeans!

[gentlemum]

I need help please! I really struggle with knowing what to wear on the bottom half other than jeans, and have got into the habit of just wearing the same two pairs of elasticated waist jeans/jeggings that are now fairly baggy everywhere. I've previously bought some summer jogger trousers (not sure if that's even the right term?!) but I end up just looking like I'm wearing pyjamas! I am super pale and prefer my legs covered so not a fan of dresses or skirts. What do other people wear on the bottom half that's not just jeans?! Don't even get me started on what shoes to wear other than trainers.. think I'm a lost cause!

What about actual jeans with more structure than jeggings? There are loads of different styles to choose from, colours and washes etc. Some pairs like wide leg jeans for example mean you think more about the top you wear with them and shoes etc so require more effort which can be fun.

Alternatively you could try wide leg trousers, chinos, palazzo pants and as they are in at the moment a denim maxi skirt which I have seen cheap in Primark.

I wear yoga pants, with a straight or flared leg. Not the tight leggings sort.

What do I wear instead of jeans? Hmm … Recently, outside the house, things similar to these from Zara, Raey @ Matches, La Fetiche. (Photos).

Loungewear is mostly Uniqlo and Community Clothing.

Do you tuck your tops into joggers? I find that instantly makes them look smarter. Since I discovered this I now live in joggers. You can get smarter ones (elasticated waist tapered trousers really).

Maybe chinos? M&S have loads. But also agree with PP maybe just some better fitting jeans.

Thank you all for the suggestions!

@33goingon64 I like this idea and could see that would make it smarter, I'll give it a try!

I will also have a look at M&S for some chinos.
