I know a lot of people on here are pleased with the Gap high rise skinnies but I just bought these Victoria Beckham jeans from the Outnet. They are the most flattering skinnies I have ever owned - so great I actually decided to post on here about them.

PS I don't work for VB...

Ooh. What's so good about them?

They are proper high-waisted, so no muffin top. No baggy knees and also just the right width around the ankle so not making your legs look like stuffed sausages. V. flattering on the arse too. And good heavy fabric that is nevertheless stretchy enough to be really comfortable.

I'm a size 14 and 5' 6" with thinnish legs (go to the gym quite a lot).

Well, by high-waisted I mean they sit just below my waist/on my waist. They are listed as mid-rise on the Outnet but it says high waisted on the label...

I have one pair and I must admit when I wear them people always comment esp dp for some reason! They feel frumpy under my top but you can't really see it and you get corset effect.

I would never wear a tunic so don't know. You can wear high waisted with a hip bone length top. I think tunics flatter no one. You can tell what size someone is under them no one looks and thinks ooh kate moss under there! Just wear what you like in your size covering rarely achieves what you think.

Belinda are you rocking cropped tops or what?

You really couldn't tell how high waisted my jeans are unless I was stood in my bra!

I like the look of those but am currently in love with rag&bone skinnies
