Can you help me find smart jeans for a tall size 12 with big thighs?

Hello Style Gurus,

I am in a bit of a dilemma. Having gained about a stone and a half in the past year I am stuck for a pair of smart, going out jeans that don't make my thighs look hideously huge.

Before I gained the weight I used to love wearing skinny jeans with a glam top and heels on a night out but now I just feel that my thighs are too big for skiny jeans. I'm happy in boyfriend fit for casual wear.

I know that bootcut jeans are meant to be good for balancing out large thighs but I'm yet to find a pair of bootcuts that I feel are smart enough- all of the pairs I have tried (that my thighs would fit in!), whilst slimming my thighs, look at little too casual for a night out.

I have the added problem of being 5'10 so leg length is also an issue.

Thanks in advance.

I have a gorgeous pair of 7 for all mankind jeans that are dark denim, look smart, bootcut and 34 inch inside leg as well.

I am a little bit bigger (5'9 size 14 with thighs) and the gap curvy jeans fit me quite well. have long legs and they come in different lengths.

Thanks ladies. I'll have a look at both. Are the 7 for all mankind ones good for girls with thighs flowerybeanbag?

Do you have a TK Maxx near you? I got 2 smart pair of jeans from there, designer (Seven) but for a fraction of the price. I'm not as tall as you but do have large thighs, and often find jeans a problem! These jeans were dead long, must be 34 inch, I had to turn them up.

Yes indeed. I'm a size 10 but pearshaped so sometimes have a thigh problem with jeans/trousers.

Mine are these on special offer today at JL apparently! it's a rubbish picture but they are brilliant.

Hello MissFlick have you looked at Hobbes? I am a size 12 except the odd wobbly bit that seems to be a bit bigger; I have a pair of Hobbes jeans that I wear to work quite a bit as they are lovely smart dark denim and hold in all the wobbly bits in a most flattering manner!

Thanks so much for your replies everyone. I don't live in England at the minute so choice is pretty limited for me I am back in England at Christmas so will be checking out TK Maxx ,7 for all mankind and Hobbes then. Meanwhile, I have ordered some Gap Curvy fit jeans online so fingers crossed that they A) come soon and B) fit. I will report back when they do arrive. I also plan to check out Zara tomorrow as I know that they do long length, I'm just not sure about the thigh department!

Flick Have you tried Next, they do long length jeans. I love them and buy all my jeans from there.
