I've tried, I've tried, but skinnies just don't work for me. Even though I am only a size 10 and don't have particularly fat thighs, skinny jeans and trousers make my legs look carrot-shaped. My whole body in fact looks revoltingly top-heavy in them.
My old bootcut jeans look horribly outdated now. I do have a pair of more recently-acquired Gap 'sexy boot jeans but think they look really mumsy too.
I've tried these straight leg Sevens (bought on discount at BrandAlley and they're ok but a bit 'Mum jeans'.
I've also tried these Gap 'sexy boyfriends' but they were too baggy on the thigh and also made me look a bit like a children's tv presenter with the roll ups, but even odder without the roll ups.
I think the shape that would suit me is a tapered trouser leg, slim on the thigh and tapering down to the ankle, but not too skinny. Where to find jeans/trousers like this? I am desperate! I just want a nice pair of jeans and a nice pair of cotton trousers for summer.
Am an 'apple' shape if that helps. Please help me before I turn to the Lands End catalogue...
