Skirts or trousers?

I wear dresses to work with opaque tights in winter none in summer. Rest of the week it’s jeggings and tops socks and boots. A mixture of dresses skirts cropped trousers or shorts in summer although only wear shorts on the beach or in the garden. I am quite tall and have slim legs so feel I can wear what I want . I’m nearly 66

I live in jeans mainly. I do however envy the Asian grannies I see on the school pick up in summer. Those lovely loose trousers and long tops look so colourful, cool and elegant.

I rarely wear skirts . For choir concerts if its warm .
Trousers of whatever sort are easier.

I will be 70 soon (what?!) and I don’t own a skirt. I wear jeans and trousers, but mostly I wear dresses- with thick tights or leggings in winter, and bare legs in spring/ summer. I wear longer dresses in summer, to about mid- calf. I don’t wear heels any more- it’s flat ankle boots, trainers or pumps. I like Toast and Cos for dresses, and Whistles for jeans. Inspired by Villanelle’s Dreis van Noten trouser suit in, er, “Villanelle”, I bought a bright blue trouser suit from M&S, and I have a linen one for the summer. I’m a 14/16 and 5’7”, so no sylph, but I love clothes!

I still have a couple of skirts but as I am short and fat I don't like the look of the way they hang. I call it the "pillar box" effect, as it makes you look cylindrical - the skirt goes over the tum and then hangs down miles in front of your knees. Trousers with a wide, long, loose blouse over them is the only way I can camouflage it.

I don’t own a dress or a skirt. I wear jeans and trousers with elastic waists. I need to get to the loo quickly and don’t always have time to faff about with zips and buttons.?‍♂️?

Don’t know where those two little ladies came from.

I have unsightly veins in one leg so wear trousers all the time or jeans. I keep thinking I could wear a skirt and thick tights in the winter but never seem to get round to it. I never wear shorts or a swimsuit now.

I don't own any skirts.

If I had a car I would probably wear skirts more often. But if you have to stand at windy bus stops, and walk into freezing wind, then skirts are impractical.

Mainly I wear jeans - straight leg, dark navy, with ankle boots. I have noticed that there are very few simple Aline skirts in the shops. They all have frilly bits, or uneven hem lines that hang below your coat and look silly.

I seem to be living in thermal leggings and long tops/chunky knits these days. I do have a couple of skirts which I wear with thick tights and loose floral trousers and dresses for summer. I'm always cold so thin trousers in winter don't work for me and I don't like to wear tights under them. I love my jeans but they seem to have shrunk since I got fatter

Leggings /jeans with tunics in this weather with boots or brogues. Knee length dresses with bare legs and sandals in the summer or crops with a top. I’m tall so have to check hem lengths of dresses in the summer!

I wear mostly skirts now. I have a few that I made ages ago.
This is a good book -

I've always loved trousers, jeans,shorts etc and haven't owned a skirt for at least 10 years. I wear what I want I'm a size 12 and look fine in both just prefer the freedom of trousers.

I wear linen arty style tunics that come to my calf most of the time. So comfortable to wear in winter and summer. I am soon to hit 68. I do have a calf length beige skirt I wear with uniform polo shirt at work and jeans for when I am doing work on my boat home.

Trousers or jeans 95% of the time. So much more comfortable than skirts.
But I do like a summer dress in hot weather or if going out somewhere nice.

I wear trousers most of the time, but really like wearing skirts - if only there were more available! I also like wearing dresses, which I find are much more easy to find in shops.

Well something happened to my legs when I turned 60; I don't know whose they are, but they're not mine. Trousers for me (and jeans)

Always wore skirts for work but now mostly in jeans or trousers. I do like a change occasionally especially in hot weather when a floaty dress is ideal.
I envy the Asian womens' jewel coloured clothes too, but can't wear the reds and golds with my pale colouring - blues and greens are possible though.

I am short with skinny legs and big
Boobies’!! I like skinny jeans and tops or skirts and dresses (knee length) with opaque tights and pixie boots in winter.

Summer is long dresses/skirts or cut
offs with tops. Once legs are tanned I am happy with Knee length dresses.

I’ve worn trousers out of choice for the last 25 years including uniform at work where we could choose them or a skirt.

However since I retired 2 years ago I socialise a lot more and often choose a frock for lunches or dinners as I love the feeling of making an effort - for myself and for the occasion and others. Don’t actually own a skirt as I prefer the longer smoother line a dress gives when you’re on the short end of the scale!

I always wear jeans, leggings.

The only time I wear skirts or dresses is if the weather is hot.
And it has to be very warm before I even contemplate a skirt. Foreign holidays always skirts and shorts. Nice dress for the evening maybe.
This climate is too cold for bare legs. Brrrrr.

M&S have them as do Warehouse and H&M to name but 3.
I have been on these sites and M&S shop this last week and can confirm that they have the type you are after. Some in jersey, some in a lightweight tweed and some in a cotton mix.
Good hunting.

I usually wear jeans or jeggings. I have some very pretty tunic tops that go really well with my black jeggings.
All winter I have been looking for an ankle length skirt to wear with my boots, all to no avail. I wanted a tweed or other warm fabric, but all I could find was clingy jersey.
I do own a couple of full length skirts, but they are in my summer wardrobe.

Jusnoneed, I'm a larger size and I wear, trousers, jeans, leggings, or (weather permitting) Capri trousers. All with long tops. I think these look neat and appropriate - and for me they are much easier "to wear" than anything else! I do own two skirts and a dress but these are rarely worn. (I sometimes wear a skirt in hot weather when I can go without tights.)
