Anyone else find that most slim-fit trousers look like jodhpurs?

Or do I just have strange legs? Please tell me it's not just me. I probably do have wide calves, but I can't be the only one. If you find the same, do you have any tips on where to buy slim trousers that fit, or do you just go for straight leg?

I have massive calves and any trousers described as “skinny” or “slim” don’t go past my shins. I can managed Boden Richmond tapered trousers in a size up.

Yep I have slim thighs and many trousers have jodhpur thighs on me. I now buy brax Raphaela/Lavinia trousers from Bella di notte as they fit me. Bella di notte catalogue is v helpful as they describe which trousers fit different shapes.

Jodphurs yes! This is exactly how I described trying to find jeans only yesterday. I'm a size 20 (on top) with skinny legs and a small flat arse. I have the devil's own job trying to find trousers that are snug on the hips and thighs. It never used to be a problem and it's driving me mad.
