As title asks, if you are short and stout where do you buy your trousers? I'm 5ft 1, and a uk 14/16, I am so fed up of wearing the same 2 pairs of jeans that I took up and two pairs of trousers that I took up, Ii would. just like to buy some wide/straight legged jeans or trousers that don't pool on the floor even when they are the short/petite fit (M&S, Next, Pixie Girl, Fat Face I'm looking at you) also if they are mid rise all the better too as waistbands seem to be almost reaching armpit they are so high rised! Help me please, I'm lost in the wilderness wearing tatty trews worried about what I will do if these fall apart.

OP- I don’t regard 14/16 as stout!

Wide-Leg Jeans - Blue at Cotton Traders

27" inside leg

Bon Marche do jeans with a 25" inside leg but they don't have any wide leg ones, only straight or skinny.

@Gymnopedie

thanks for that info. Hard to find a 25" leg!!

@Moanycowbag I'm fatter than you, but 4"11. I ONLY look at cropped jeans/trousers, but even then they're often still too long.

i don't mind taking them up, but it always ruins the style of them. But frankly my body shape does that anyway so I'm not sure why I'm so bothered really!! 🥹

Next have a petite section.

short and stout makes me think of the teapot song!

Op is more like the cream jug! I'm proper 'stout' NEXT used to be good, but personally I find they're too long now 😔

I bought a couple of short trousers from M&S in a cropped style. Their short fitting is too long for me.
