Feel too chunky for skinny jeans - what should I be wearing??

[Athyrium]

What is the right style of jeans for the not-so-slim? I am a tallish size 16, bit of an arse on me plus chunky upper thighs, but then slim lower legs. I do wear skinnies with longer line tops and boots, but what if I want a change? I don't always want to wear tunics!! I used to love boot cut jeans but it's a style that seems out of favour on the one hand, but also that doesn't seem to look as good on me as a size 16 as it did when I was a 14 Advice would be fab!

No advice but marking place as could have written your post myself!

What about a straight style or boyfriend Jeans feel your pain I was a late convert to the skinny jeans and I'm so over them now

I am a size 10-12 but can't do skinny jeans- Jeggings work for me or straight cut jeans. Try Dorothy Perkins for their Eden Jeggings- I wear these a lot!

There was a thread yesterday along these lines. Kick flares are making their way back apparently

I like gap real straight

[You4coffee]

Not jeans but I really like the broken in khakis from gap. I'm ample of thigh and they are a great fit and not too clingy but not too baggy iykwim

[KikitheKitKat]

Straight jeans definitely. Btw what's the difference between a kick flare and bootcut?

[Hoppinggreen]

gap real straight for me too, not too tight but tuck in my uggs

[Hoppinggreen]

I'm a 14/16 and Boyfriend jeans are a major no no for me

I think kick flares are more Fitted at the thigh and have more flare than standard bootcut jeans. Not quite bell bottoms, though.

I like the 'slim' next jeans... Similar sizing!

Straight leg jeans are your friend.

I second Gap jeans. The real straight are great. They also do a slim straight which is lovely and a good Alternative to Skinny.
They retail at about £44 but if you register online for their mailing list you will get regular offers. I only paid £26 each for my last 3 pairs.

What about fleece lined thermal tights and a denim skirt? That is my denim of choice!

I've moved from
bootcut to straight and would never go back. Also chunky of thigh so skinnies look ridiculous but straight legs are more flattering and fit into boots - I'd never go back!
