- well, jeans are heavy. I'd go with a lighter fabric. and while I'm all for people covering up their bad spots, there has to be some reality concession to the hotness. better capris than shorts if you feel you should stay covered, yes?

      - see above. I am heavy all over but the belly is enormous. My legs are probably a size 12 but because of the belly I have to wear size 18 pants

        Ah, ok. I totally get it. I have that going on too. I think the wide leg capris are the way to go. Make sure they are as wide at the hem as the are at the thigh, you know?

        ^^^sometimes you can find a skirt that has a structured waistband too.

- Wide leg capris or A line skirts (knee length is better than long).
