Alternatives to jeans for walking date

I have beautiful tops but my only bottoms are jeans or black trousers. My weight tends to go on my belly. Any suggestions for walking date bottoms? I'm a size 16

Proper walking that needs hiking trousers or stroll around a park/zoo.

I like craghopper trousers if proper hiking or perhaps chinos / cropped chinos if more town based. I'd be more concerned about proper shoes if a proper hike.

Combat trousers?

I would wear sports leggings with a top that covers the belly . Try M&S Goodmove range .

Where is the walk? Town or moor
? What is the footwear?

What's wrong with jeans? There's a 99% chance your date will be wearing some.

For a walking date Id just wear what you have tbh. You're not going anywhere fancy. A nice top and jeans is fine.

Depends where you're walking. Go Outdoors is great for "proper" walking trousers (ie fast-drying, room to bend and with multiple pockets). If you're strolling round the park, jeans will be fine.

Hi, sorry for vagueness, I meant I always end up going for longer walks in the city so I wanted to wear some sort of nice trouser alternative to jeans which is slimming. I feel like my jeans don't give as nice a silhouette. Legging trousers are a good option.

I think it’s extremely unlikely that leggings will give a nicer silhouette than jeans. Would you not just get a more flattering pair of jeans?
