Where to look for casual shorts for those with big legs? Usually high street cargo types from WS and FF fit the bill easy, but they seem to favor the skinny leg chino fit now.

Where else to look? Tend not to get on that well with online as I’m pretty heavy set for my height.

Mountain warehouse?

TK Maxx could also be a good place to start

Eat more crisps, then eventually your waist will expand and the shorts you have to buy will fit your legs.

Worked for me!

Not just me then🤦‍♂️

Guilty also, but the they still don’t fit. Any obvious brands to look for.

I’m well out if practice, last clothes I bought must gave been in 2019!

If it was biking shorts I was going to say Fat Lad At The Back do great shorts but for casual I have no idea. I just wear what MrsWCA has put in the 3rd drawer down and don’t complain

Don’t tell anyone but a while back I got a couple of pairs from M&S that are a nice relaxed fit and take my rather large thighs (getting on for 30” just for one of them) without any tightness.

Gap are good

I was going to suggest those GAP ones too. Their 10″ Vintage shorts fit over my pistons well…

Hollister cargo shorts have a bit of thigh room in them surprisingly enough and they are stretchy. Be wary of waist size though, I go a size down from usual.

£15

Lasted me a couple of years. Old ones get relegated to work shorts. New ones for tidy.

if you’re after cargo shorts again, try the below army suprplus type website (all though all new stuff). plenty of stuff that isn’t full on camo / tactical weekend warrior look. i’ve got a few pairs of the helikon CPU shorts that i live in and last forever

Just to close, Gap cargo shorts with a bit of stretch. Thanks blitz, very comfy.

Sure you’re not confusing waist with thigh?

Decathlon do some posh-ish cotton casual shorts.

Otherwise, Sainsbury.

That’s where I’m at and have only been getting decent time on them bike for a month or so. Jeans are a PITA and I curse the current skinny chino type fashion.

TK Maxx

Never.

Next have some in currently that are proper spacious on the legs

Decent money too.

as I’m pretty heavy set for my height.

Late I know, but whatever colour of Volcom Frickin shorts takes your fancy, I am also ‘heavy set’ they are quite generous in sizing, so go smaller or your regular size and a belt, they look loads better than ‘cargo’ shorts too in my view, what are you a SysAdmin?

Gap was the answer a couple of weeks ago (free returns) and they were good for me (32” waist, 24” thighs)

If you can’t do the penis slap in them what’s the point.

that’s the size of my waist!!!

Jeans the alpkit ones are good. They have a nice stretch which makes them super comfortable (to the point I buy an extra set ever time they are on sale and store them).
