Please help. I'm a size 16 - 18. Big bum, big thighs. Where do I buy jeans from. I liked stradivarius but just got 3 pairs, only one fits and they don't look right. Help!!

New look. Honestly. They are brilliant.

Levi’s - ribcage or 501
I usually try on in store but then buy the style from Vinted. You want jeans with minimum elasticity so they fit firmly and don’t go out of shape quickly.

I bought mine from M&S a few years ago. I’m pear shaped, size 14 when I bought them. I need to find some more now as they’ve worn through.

Marks and Spencer’s do some great jeans

I love Levi's Ribcage too. Often also get them on vinted.

But you defo have to go into a store and try on loads of pairs and sizes. I find Levi's sizes can be slightly different for the same style but in different colours.

Also rate Abercrombie and Fitch jeans as they do loads of leg lengths (short woman here!)

I got some from a make called “and/or” This year. Very nice - from John Lewis I think. I’m a size 14.

Might be a John Lewis own label thing, I’m not sure.

I think they were Venice beach boyfriend ones but they’ve styled them with some really silly looking boots (in my opinion) now on their website - as in the boots don’t go with the jeans

M&S do a vast range of styles in all sizes and lengths. Go and try a load on and see what suits you.

American Eagle curve range oh my goodness wish I had found them years ago.. I like the wide leg .. and so comfy

In Primark at the moment, their high rise mom jeans are amazing . Light stretch and soft denim. They're only £14. I went back and got another pair.
I have hips and bum and I honestly think these are the comfiest jeans ever
