What to wear with leggings and trainers to a casual office?

I work in tech in a casual but trendy office. I have digestive issues and struggle with any sort of waistband. I often wear leggings to work with trainers and an oversized button up shirt but I’m struggling with other options that cover my bum! Long jumpers often look frumpy or are poor quality and pill after a few washes. Any suggestions?

Would it be impossible for you to wear dresses, or a jumpsuit?

This has no waistband:

Nor does this:

And this has waist definition but no gathering:

What about a tunic style blouse? Long enough to cover your bum, but not as restrictive as a jumper.

Primark have great linen longer length shirts in their premium range , black & a stone / beige colour. Heavyweight so can be worn as an open shirt in warmer times. I think they are about £20 ish ? Length depends on your height I guess ! I’d also look at their back Elasticated waist trousers too or H&M slacks with Elasticated waists.

I wear leggings with skirts and dresses and boots so that the leggings just look like tights. I do this as I detest tights!

I was watching one of the style channels on YouTube today about leggings because they suit me. I have nice legs. They said if wearing leggings you should always wear a long top for example a tunic, a long shirt and jumper or waistcoat over the top and smart flat shoes.
shoes
I really love Seasalt tunics and have a few of them. I also love next online they have everything.

An oversized sweater? If it’s super casual.

The Oxford shirts from H&M are great for £20 😀
