Alternative to shorts for hot weather

[Atissue123]

So I do not like my legs! I’m not overweight (9st2lb, 5’5) but my legs aren’t a great shape and my knees aren’t great and I’m out of shape not very toned currently. I am slim overall and therefore legs look better clothes in my opinion! I do wear shorts when I have to (eg cycling). I’ve never liked my legs but when fit and toned they were acceptable!

But I’m going on holiday somewhere very hot (33 degrees) we will be spending time in a city / walking about a lot and I don’t really want to get my pasty chubby legs out! Often I think who cares but on this occasion I do care as will be with some friends and colleagues. When by the pool I won’t care (will just be with family then).

Anyone have any stylish, cool, flattering alternatives? I just look better in stuff that’s below the knee. But it’s gonna be hot…and I’ve got to walk about and ‘do stuff’ so needs to be practical. Eg linen jumpsuit? Culottes? Just wondering if anyone has found anything nice recently.

i am 42. Usually shop in Hush, Nobody’s child, Sezane, Oliver bonas type places and sometimes M&S or H&M

I am a 12-14 on bottom usually and bought both sizes to try. The larger size was better on me but I do also have a bit of a menopausal tummy and am pear shaped so need a fair amount of room down there! If you’re more slim hipped you might get away with the smaller size. They are quite roomy and the waist is super stretchy. Hope that helps.

Your legs look fine OP. Just coming on to say I haven't worn shorts for years, even around home, as I find skirts so much cooler in hot weather.

Lovely legs.
Enjoy them!

Just wear the shorts

It’s not your legs that’s the issue

irs your horrific shorts.

Wish i had your legs! Wear the shorts or shirt skirts. You will look for fab. For a tan, i’d opt for gradual tan as opposed to a spray tan, tho it is personal preference, i find them more natural looking than spray tans plus if needed you can use on your hol. X

That was an incredibly mean thing for her to have said.
She is utterly wrong your legs are fabulous.
Wear the shorts.

Marvellous legs 👌.
