I look shit in jeans and don’t want to wear leggings.

I’m fairly tall, size 12, curvy hips, small waist but I have quite skinny thighs. Quite a flat arse. Please please help me, what can I wear day to day that isn’t a skirt and doesn’t make me look like Vicky Pollard? Some kind of lovely black slim ‘smart’ joggers might fit the bill if they fit my gangly legs. I’ve searched high and low. Nowt.

TIA

I just live in comfortable dresses with tights and boots, or jumpsuits in various colours with converse trainers.

I've always hated jeans on me. Don't suit them and not comfortable.

I wear those yoga style trousers, so stretchy at the top then looser below. I'm quite a tall apple shape so this is comfortable and stylish till I lose a bit of weight. I've clearly got the wrong sized jeans so they dig into me a bit but I can't bear the idea that I'm closer to an 18 now.

I live in plain black and plain navy blue joggers. I wear fairly nice tops/t-shirts with them so I don't look particularly scruffy. If I don't wear joggers I wear the cords from Cotton traders that are stretchy and comfy. I've struggled to find jeans that fit since having my son and I used to only ever wear jeans. Once you find something comfy though make sure you buy plenty of pairs to keep you going.

I look ridiculous in jeans. I am very tall, broad and overweight (now with added menopausal apple shaped belly) Most trousers are uncomfortable and quite simply not long enough.
I wear dresses. With tights or leggings and comfortable boots in winter, bare legs and trainers or sandals in summer.

Lululemon make Groove pants and some pull on trousers that would fit the bill.
