Hi all,

I have an array of jeans and beautiful tops but it feels too warm so looking for alternatives to my jeans. What are you all wearing?

chambray or linen trousers

wildfirewonder · 10/06/2023 06:53

Jeans!

For work I wear linen wide trousers mostly.

RabbitsRock · 10/06/2023 06:54

Long leg shorts or dresses

TinyBarista · 10/06/2023 07:06

Chino shorts, which on the model looked safari chic and elegant, and on me look like an overgrown, dumpy boy scout who got lost on the way to camp.

ChristmasJumpers · 10/06/2023 07:08

Baggy tshirts and cycling shorts. So comfy and they hide my newly created mum tum

Gettingbysomehow · 10/06/2023 07:11

Harem pants like everyone else here in Glastonbury. They are amazingly cool and great to wear.

Gettingbysomehow · 10/06/2023 07:12

As long as you don't mind looking like an ageing hippy that is. Lol

Ha this is how I look in chino shorts too Grin

Linen trousers or flared cotton skirts.

It's a relief. We seem to have been in jeans and sweaters for 7 months.

iamnotanalcoholic70 · 10/06/2023 07:19

I love the magic trousers. Come in lots of colours and will fit you if you gain or lose a few pounds. They tend to be cropped on me, so they look summery. If it's really hot, then it's long shorts to cover as much as possible 😁

Frenchfancy · 10/06/2023 07:22

Skirts. Not sure why they aren't more popular tbh.

Moredarkchocolateplease · 10/06/2023 07:31

Wide leg culottes from nobody's child at M&S and new look and at the weekend, shorts or a short flippy dress.

Am 45 and I don't care about my wrinkly knees or wobbly thighs. I like the sun on my legs.

@iamnotanalcoholic70 I bought a pair of magic trousers in a charity shop and I love them, so comfortable! Where do you buy them in a real shop?

Are they not just joggers?

johnnydeppsslipper · 10/06/2023 07:42

Harem pants or cool jumpsuits

This is what I live in during the hot times

Just ordered two linen v neck t shirts from pull and bear that were recommended in here to go with the aging hippy trouser that I love Grin

SybilWrites · 10/06/2023 07:43

What are magic trousers?

I usually wear a sundress in hot weather. Or a more formal sleeveless dress if I need to be at a meeting.

catslovelife · 10/06/2023 07:44

Shorts
Light trousers
Linen skirt

Or just a dress

SourDoughToast · 10/06/2023 07:44

M&S cargos or cargo shorts - so comfy and cool!

Caterpillargirl23 · 10/06/2023 07:47

@Frenchfancy I also love a skirt.

Hairbrushhandle · 10/06/2023 07:48

I'm hiding until November.

But on days I have to go out for work I'm trying maxi skirts. Hard because I'm 5ft 4 but ones that I have found are good. Let some air in but don't show my cornbeef stubbly legs!

BestofLuck · 10/06/2023 07:50

I bought a Monki jumpsuit from a charity shop which I’m going to wear today. Nice wide legs so cooling.

MerylSqueak · 10/06/2023 07:51

A dress. You can stop chub rub with a good deodorant.

maranella · 10/06/2023 07:54

I ordered a pair of so-called 'Magic' trousers and let's just say there is nothing magic about them whatsoever! They were cheaply made and looked considerably worse than the cropped cargoes I have from M&S (which are great btw!)

Otherwise, dresses, skirts, loose trousers in various lightweight fabrics.
