New clothes that fit!!!

Yes I am happy to wear ankle swingers!

I'm 5'10" with a 33" inside leg, I can sometimes get away with a 32" inside leg, but never a 31" they're ankle swingers on me. Its a shame as those trousers did look really comfortable.

I've noticed that trousers seem to be getting shorter with 31 or even 29 inside leg being considered long now, 31 used to be regular. My son is a 34" inside leg and can only seem to get jeans and work trousers from next now and my step son needs a 36" leg and he finds it next to impossible to find trousers.

Oh how tall are you? I am 5’9” with long legs and I find them fine. I do like my trousers a bit shorter though. 

I just had a look again at some of their trousers and they're 3 inches to short for me and thats the "long" one's.

Not all L&Y clothes are bright, I have some black, navy blue and forest green trousers. 

I don't like wide leg trousers as more than one occasion a foot has caught the other trouse leg and sent me flying!

I don't need any trousers at the moment - I bought my M&S wide leg ones a few years back in black, chocolate brown & navy and they're almost like new still. They are a soft cord material and have elasticated waists, and are the most comfortable trousers I've ever had. I don't have much trouble getting trousers as M&S do short lengths which are ok for me. But I do like wearing skirts too and they are the thing I have trouble with - awful materials, often horrible feeling satiny stuff, and they're either much too short or so long they almost drag the ground.

I have also been buying some new clothes - I got 3 t-shirts, two cardigans and some socks in Primark yesterday and I've ordered another 2 t-shirts and some underwear from M&S which should arrive tomorrow. I do miss being able to go into an M&S store and look at things before buying, but they closed the store in my town some years back and there is now only a food store locally, although you can take returns parcels there.

They're very bright and colourful, I don't think I could wear anything that bright.

Low rise waists are the bane of my existance too and crop tops, most of the winter stuff I've seen lately are cropped heavy knit cardigans, they'd barely cover my nipples! Whats the point of having stuff like that if it dosen't cover you?

I blame the Chinese for clothes being tight with tiny arm holes, another thing I see are womens tops where I can't tell which way up they go, there are two wide holes top and bottom with sleeves in the middle. It's one reason I'm very reluctant to buy clothes online, so many of the sites lie too, they describe something that sounds good, but when it arrives its totally not as described.

When I look at a lot of clothes I wonder if the people who designed and made them have ever seen a human before?

All the young people in my life wear their trousers baggy. 
I am a fan of Lucy & Yak, they are expensive but you can get some on Vinted for a great price. There are these trousers called Alexa and I think I have about 7 pairs in different colours, some patterned. When you find something that works it’s so frustrating when they fall apart. 

I can’t seem to find clothes that fit these days. I can’t stand tight clothing, and everything seems to be “Slim Fit” for the last several years. Pants all seem to be “Low Rise” waists, also, which I hate. I have t-shirts (Large) that are five or more years old that fit fine. I recently bought some new t-shirts in the same size that are waaaayyy too tight. I bought some more, size XL, and they’re also way too tight, in both the torso and the sleeves. So frustrating. I keep hoping this trend for tight clothing will pass. Ugh.

My son has very flat feet and he finds them comfortable, I one the otherhand have high arches and instep and narrow little heels, we both find their shoes fit

I have not, I will however give them a search right now. 

My feet are quite strange as I have issues with my ankles which also leads to me be being very flat footed, I remember once part of my sole was literally hanging off from the shoe.

Thank you so much

You might like the ones from next that I bought, these have pockets too.

I love loose fitting trousers, I can't bear tight clothes. Do you remember the wide leg trousers that Patience wore in the TV series? Mine are a lot like that, but not quite as short, and have pockets which is great too. 

I'm glad to hear you found clothes to fit you though.

Have you tried Moshulu? They're a British company based in Devon who make shoes for British shaped feet, I get most of my shoes from them, they're not cheap, but they're very well made and last for ages and I'm one of those people who's shoes usually last 6 months max. They're returns process is also very easy, you just pop them back in the bag they came in and stick on the enclosed lable and take them to the post office.

At the moment I have been having trouble buying shoes that fit online. 

Had one pair which pushed the feet to close together, had another which was so big it was hard to walk and my current boots rub against the side of my foot.

The only pair that seems to fit at the moment are my trainers, not sure if they are work acceptable though!
