What to wear on bottom apart from jeans?

[HLaurens]

I can always find hundreds of nice tops I like - mostly in the smock or tunic direction to hide the mummy tummy. But I am totally stuck in a rut when it comes to my bottom half

I have straight leg jeans and leggings, as well as two pairs of wide leg linen trousers (in black and beige/stone). At the moment it is too hot for the jeans. My legs are quite white, but reasonably shapely. I am a size 16 and 5ft 6".

Can anyone give me any inspiration before I go out and buy the wrong thing (again)?

am on same mission...

shall we synchronise watches and combine intelligence?

more linen mix trousers, especially for the summer

red

long skirt

Glad someone else is suffering my dilemma, Blinks!

Thanks Collision - I've been down the crops and long skirt route in the past. Because I'm quite wide of hip, I always think both are a bit unflattering. The crops make my legs look stumpy.

Southeast - got any links to any good linen trousers?

I'd personally go for dresses.

I think smock/tunic tops unless very fitted/skimming make most people look pregnant.

Zara and H&M have some lovely dresses in.

I'm wearing a zara one today that was £35 - knee lenght, v necked and fitted on the waist but with fullish skirt - I'm an apple and it really suits me.

Or how about a maxi dress - have a look in Dorothy Perkins.

have you got a link traceybath for the zara dress?
