Skinny fit trousers for short slim fiftysomething

[Middleaugust]

I can see that big,wide trousers and jeans are fashionable but I'd look swamped in them.

I'm five foot and a size 6-8. What alternatives are there to my skinny jeans for comfortable every day wear but not sports wear?

I used to have M&S jeggings but they don't seem to do non-denim ones now.

Must have pockets by the way.

Have you actually tried some well fitting wide legs? If they are fitted around the bottom/hips and are the right length and then teamed with a sweater that stops at the waist (so, not cropped but not long) I think you could look really good.

I am (a lot!) taller than you but very slim and find that as long as things fit well around the middle you avoid the swamped look. I am 53 FWIW.

I could try some on but even with the right top I think I'm so short they'd look silly - at least without heels which I don't want to wear all the time.

Hi. Have a look on this website OP. I’ve had a few items from here and not had a problem. They design specifically for petite under 5 ft 3 and start from a size 6

Thanks Clemmy. Both still look a bit wide for my liking though it's great to see a company catering to us shorter people!

I’m five feet one and have the green cargo pixie girl trousers they look really good on me.
I wear a lot of leather leggings as well.
