What to wear on bottom half...

...if you've got big bum/thighs??

I need inspiration - what should my basic go-to garment be for the bottom half? Skinny jeans are the obvious 'goes with everything' basic but I can't wear them due to excess chub....

I've got loads of nice tops but never wear them as I don't have anything to wear with them except basic boot-cut jeans, and they make me feel a bit old old-fashioned

Any ideas? Trousers or skirts, anything would do..

Same problem, am considering these from Toast
www.toast.co.uk/product/TROUSERS+AND+SHORTS/C4VT3/churidar.htm?categoryref=%2fcategory.aspx%3fcatego ryid%3dTROUSERS%2520AND%2520SHORTS%26seoterm%3dTROUSERS%2520AND%2520SHORTS%26&pcat=TROUSERS+AND+SHOR TS

or will you all shout NO, NO, NO

No way on the above. If you have a big bum/thighs you need to balance with a wider leg to draw your eye away.

I agree Ticktock, I would look horrific in those! They are nice though, for slim folk

So I am doomed to bootcuts forever?

the churidar would look nice if you had a top that covers the bum and maybe is mid thigh, I don't personally think they suit being worn with any thing other than long tunics, I was trying to find a mid length denim skirt with godets but couldn't, I think a style that kicks out at the bottom can balance a big bum

i have same prob op.

i can't wear my blooming flared jeans all summer, which totally balance me out.

skirts seem alien to me, i do wish i could find one i look nice in and feel nice in.

wide leg linen types are an no no cos my fat wobbles.

I just projected my face onto the model and forgot about my real life arse, damm reality
