For those who are slightly heavy in the leg/thigh area... if there are any styles for this spring that don't involve shorty ditsy dress/tops and leggings...please tell me what they are!

I have never been slim legged -although I am only a size 12. I am now going demented trying to find outfits that don't involve jeggings/ treggings or any other derivation. Skinny jeans look terrible on me. I 'd love to look a bit more fashionable but the choices out there seem very limited...or are they......

Please fashionistas give me your best alternatives before I break out the gin and drown my sorrows

waits with interest. and sympathy. my concern is less about width...more about length. i'm 5 ft nothing and - proportionately - short legged. I've also seen too many women my age (39) on whom the look you describe just looks like they're trying too hard. which never looks good on a 39 year old...

Skinny jeans look terrible on me too, but can I suggest you try these from Uniqlo? They are skinny yet bootcut so balance out the thighs a bit whilst still looking vaguely current.

That's my only suggestion, will watch with interest!

interesting idea - boot cut skinnies ... will seek out

just back from googling treggings...I'd have to try them but they seem vaguely possible to me...like leggings but a bit more substantial?

I thought a few people were on here the other day saying that leggings were being replaced by tracksuit bottoms, although what kind of a solution that is I do not know.

Tracksuit bottoms? Are smiley face t-shirts going to make a comeback too?

balance the skinny jeans with biker boots -works for my thunder thighs.

Also try straight cut jeans? more modern looking than bootcut, more forgiving than skinnies.

what about for a more dressy occasion? where even the best trackies just won't do!
tracksuits - really?!

linen trousers with skinny tops

it will never be wrong in my gimmer opinion

i envy htose who can wear WIDE trousers and not look like a ship in full sail.
partic if slim on top.
AO that would be my tip.

I look like Mr Strong in wide trews - completely square.

What's AO?

I agree with probono and youregorgeous.

Lovely wide cut trousers, slim fitting top to show off lovely arms - very flattering.

If you're short - high wedge heels under the trousers (make sure trousers are long enough to almost cover shoe).

Hatwoman - I'm 5ft and 37 and live in skinnies - don't think i look 'try hard' though. But I'm an apple rather than a pear.

"so" not ao
wide trews and a cool shirt we busty types cant wear
was just looking at zara..

or SWOON
a cool halter top in a navy...
and wide trews

maybe a cloggy kind of front of shoe

Not busty.

Just wide of hip and ass and thigh and broad of shoulder.

Parsnip in skinnies, square in widelegs.

or htis mebbe
wiht cool treouser.
skinny patent belt..

mebbe even acid green shuz

You and your clogs.

You're obsessed.

Nu shuz?

I can't wait.

Sorry, off topic...

Does it have to be trousers?

Has anyone mentioned skirts/dresses?

i dont knwo what skirts suit heavy of thigh - not beingthus aflicted, ( myu issues lie elsewhere)

will think on

A line hides a multitude of sins.

i not e with " child of 70s " style horror that not only clogs are in but also tiered skirts

Jesus.

I spent C & D's wedding with a three tier cake on my head.

Please tell me I don't have to wear a cake on my head again!!

Mind you, it would balance out my thighs...
