Now it's hot, what bottom halves are you wearing?

[Hellenabe]

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?

I wear longer skirts and dresses.

I’ve never had chub rub issues even when I was a size 14, I think I’m just not built that way!

I am wearing my hush mom jeans (which are big on me so nice and loose) and a strapless top tucked in. Also jigsaw denim shorts - smart enough for the office but casual enough not to look I’m always off to work.

also got a couple of very cheap cotton sundresses from h and m and love these.

I am pretty close to kaftan @Blip because I have to take the Tube which is a nightmare in summer!

My other suggestion for summer dresses: Uniqlo tshirt dresses. Not floral as is the trend but cool, wash well and good quality cotton. They do different models every year.

I have three pairs of these - www2.hm.com/en_gb/productpage.0971104005.html
Lovely and cool and comfortable - wearing a pair right now!

I’m wearing these…

They came yesterday and fit lovely. Plus they make my size 16 thighs look ever so slightly smaller 😁

Lawn cotton Salwar kameez 😍

It maxed out at 16C yesterday.
I had my black trousers and a jumper on for work.
Today is supposed to be much warmer, bit it's not looking like that right now, so probably jeans and a teeshirt. With a jumper if needed.

Those are actually the best thing to wear. Mulmul cotton even better! Except for the ironing.

They are truly hideous,skinny joggers anyone?

Magic trousers rolled up
Magic shorts (mid thigh) - can't recommend these highly enough, so so flattering
Palazzo trousers in a deep shirred waistband
Loose harem jumpsuits
Cheesecloth loose shorts

Jeans and a jumper all week for me here in Scotland 😂 It says highs of 22 today and I’m out all day and want to dress up a bit so wearing a maxi dress and a faux leather jacket.

It’s actually pretty nice, you can wear summery dresses and lighter trousers although you’d need to take a jumper or jacket with you, but it’s not so hot it’s uncomfortable or you’re limited on what you can wear. Don’t miss London 30+ summers.

@Hairbrushhandle where are you finding these mythical maxi skirts for shorter people? I'm struggling! I'm 5ft2" and everything seems to be for giants.

Bonus points if you can accommodate larger sizes and if they could be work wear!

Next 3/4 leggings. Nice and thin, unfortunately that means you can see my cellulite, but I don’t care as long as I’m cool.

I've mostly been wearing dresses the last couple of weeks, either mini or maxi but in terms of separates I also have:
Black linen wide leg trousers
Denim shorts
Maxi skirts
Cargo pants
Silk printed wide leg trousers
Harems

Cotton skirts, no tights.

I know it warming up but to me it's not what I'd describe as hot yet - I'm most often in ankle length jeans, linen peg leg type trousers or wide leg culottes and will wear something cooler on top if I'm feeling the heat.

So far the only co cession I've made to the weather is switching to sandals and sunglasses.

I think chub rub might be down to walking style. I've had it at a plump 14 and whenI was a willowy size 8. I just seem to have rubby thighs! The thin shorts are great for it though.

Cropped jeans, leggings with a t-shirt,harem pants now& again,I have ordered a lovely midi dress though it's cooling off here in Ireland. I'd love to wear shorts etc but I have sun sensitive scars on my legs due to a childhood accident so it can be difficult to keep cool & cover them but I've been pretty comfortable this time around

linen trousers, skirts and occasionally braving a dress and wearing cut off/culotte type around my house and garden

I'm plus size but OK on height. If I am at home or somewhere appropriate (theme park, beach, holiday) I wear knee length shorts, they are lightweight and tailored so look OK. I then have the same style but as mid calf length, plus some looser fit pairs also mid calf that I wear for smarter occasions (work, shopping) where I will be seen!
Always paired with a cool top.
Dresses don't work for me, they hang of my boobs and make me look dumpy. I only wear one as a pool cover up.
Skirts just hang wrong and then I have to bother with chub rub shorts.

Has anyone ordered from Forgotten Tribes? I have my eye on these pair of harem pants, but not sure about the material because it looks like it might crease a lot. Plain Colour Harem Pants - High Crotch (forgottentribes.com)

I found out some white linen cropped trousers recently. I’ve had them for 13 years. They are a loose fit on the leg which seems to be popular at the moment.

Wide leg culottes from nobody's child

I have them in three different prints and have been asked by people in the street where I got them from. They are probably the most comfortable summer clothes items I own.

Wide leg linen trousers to work or culottes
Linen shorts outside of work
Chub rub shorts under cotton dresses or skirts

Slim chinos

I love a wide linen trouser, but sadly I am short and fat and they make me look like a mobile bag of laundry.

jeans with Lyocell are cooler if that helps, M n S do some
