What to wear on walks if you dont like leggings or shorts

[Anonymous]

I wear jeans. You never know when you might want to climb a tree, and jeans are best for climbing.

THIS! I love the way the fabric of wide leg pants swishes around, creating a breeze.

I like harem pants

And pants that overlap, like these

I’ve found similar pants [probably the same, actually] for sale by vendors at Eastern Market

The harem pants are certainly something!

I actually bought some very thin cotton chinos that are Amazon Basics and they are great for this heat. I roll them.

Thank you PP for the rec for the Walmart skort. I'm tall and I appreciate that it's longer and a little looser fitting than the Athleta/Lululemon ones. And it has pockets - great find!

Maybe find some longer bike shorts? For walking, I may vote for the "who cares what your legs look like" side of things. Stop covering them up and wear what's comfortable. You are exercising!

But I have slid more and more into IDGAF territory after passing 40. And surviving the pandemic.

Skort in breathing fabric? I have a couple from Title 9 that are cool in summer. On me they're a modest length, but I have short legs for my height so I suppose it would depends on your body type.

I have never had this thought, and it makes me sad that I haven't.

I love my prana hiking pants

Long lightweight pants. It's what I wear because mosquitoes and bugs love me. I try to find a lightweight knit or cotton.

A few years ago Kohl's had lightweight cotton cargo pants and I bought five of them and wear them to walk or hike in the summer.

Lightweight pants in natural fabrics (100 percent linen or cotton or linen-cotton blends). Loose and breathable fabrics mean you can wear pants if ya want.

[Anonymous]

Wide legged pants that are cropped look horrible on everyone. Why is it so hard to find full length pants? I assume manufacturers save money on that little bit of fabric they get to save but cheezus, someone make this trend die!

joggers?

I have skirts that go below my knees and very lightweight, wide, cotton pants (maybe they're beach pants? But they're not transparent).
