My annual quest has begun for shorts that fit my rather generous runners thighs.
last year I ended up with Uniqlo linen style ones, high waist but very loose. However, they really do emphasise my peri menopausal belly and are shapeless really. Plus they can start to look quite tatty, creased and well….
i ordered some joules and fatface chino ones in a 12,(on vinted) - i comfortably fit size 10 in these stores. However the combination of cotton with a bit of stretch and they are basically cycling shorts - they look awful. But they’re pretty much what I’m looking for except I need about 3 inches more in the thigh!
So- no high waists, but also I need a loose fit at the bottom of the thigh, but not made of flippy material, I want proper shorts. Maybe denim at a push. Not too long (I do actually have ok legs due to all the running). And I can’t really size up much more at the waist because then they gape and fall down.
Any recommendations? Or any stores that put the actual thigh circumference on the website??
