Posted a plea a while ago about hoc and being a winter etc but also that I'm now a bit apple-y of shape. Got a suggestion for a skinny flare jean. Have been on Pinterest and love the look and know I can pull it off. But can't find any bloody jeans that are like that!

I'm 5'8" but have long legs so need a long or extra long as would prob wear with heels a lot. Although am happy to buy a couple of pairs to suit flats and heels. Am a size 12 ish but am more tum than bum.

I've flogged most of my colour unsuitable wardrobe so not too worried about cost.

Please help?!

I'm 5ft 7, size 14 but a size 16 tum :(
And I've got some Hudson beth baby bootcuts and they are fab. I had to chop about 4 inches off the length, to wear with flat shoes.

They are generous size wise though, mine are a 31 and if i got another pair, I'd try a 30 to compare.

Thank you. Will have a look at them. Do they hold their shape quite well? Am paranoid about saggy arse and knees.

They are fine when they're clean on, but on day 2 I feel a bit slouchy, rather than snug iykwim.
That's why I'd like to try a smaller size.

I think house of fraser has some in the sale for £100 ish.

I paid just over £50 for mine in the Donna Ida sale and I love them.

Ok. I did try some Goldsign passion flares a few weeks ago.

They were on yoox.com for £50 ish
They are lovely soft denim, and more of a bootcut.

I tried on Oasis Eva baby bootcut today. I think I like it but it looks so, so different to the skinnies we've all become used to. No arguing about the leg lengthening qualities though, I looked inches taller!

I love my sexy boot but they may not be as flared as you want them? Years ago gap did a proper skinny flare which I have and adore.
