Jeans that don’t give me builders bum..

Any recommendations? Sick to death of feeling myself exposed when I’m doing the gardening, bending over etc. All my jeans seem to be the same, but others don’t have this problem. I’m size 14 ish with a plump stomach and a flat bum. Is this the problem?? Any ideas or suggestions for what to wear would help!

I’ve got Asda “boyfriend fit” 🤮 jeans which are excellent. Or you could try high-waisted jeans.

Sainsbury's high waist skinnies.

Next high waisted 'lift and slim' They do slim fit, skinny etc... not the cheapest but I don't buy anything else now as they are comfy, don't give you a builder's bum, and they wash and wash (I wear jeans to work so live in them!)

Sounds like you are an apple shape? Do you carry most of your weight on your tummy and boobs, have a flat bum and don't have big hips, but slim legs and arms? If so I had this exact same problem for years, until I finally I discovered high waisted jeans were reccomended for apple shapes. I can't wear any other type now and can't believe I suffered hoiking jeans up for years. I always thought high waisted would be the worst for me because of my round tummy but I just wear a loose longer length top, or a loose shirt with the bottom buttons done up, or tie front tops.

M&S do really good high waist ones, especially sculp and lift, and GAP do some called sky high, but I find they come up small and have no give so best to size up. High waisted jeggings I wear a lot of too, usually from H&M.

Thanks all :-), useful tips. I think I am an apple shape so this must be why. This hoiking up drives me insane!
