I want some fashionable jeans I feel good in. Size 16, big bum, fair bit of a tum. I'm 5 ft 7 but my legs aren't long (long body) help!!!

I've found Abercrombie has some good options - loads of different sizes and lengths and they have a "curve love" range which is for people with bums!

Or I feel like m&s is really popping off recently and lots of different size variations as well :)

I like m&s autograph jeans

BobnLen · 25/07/2024 21:03

Fatface are quite generous.

HillBillieEilish · 25/07/2024 21:06

Tesco contour in black 👌🏻 same size/shape. I wear 14 at Tesco tho.

GettingStuffed · 25/07/2024 21:07

Primark of all places but I size up.

LemonMead · 25/07/2024 21:10

Another vote for Abercrombie. Also, Simply Be!

I’m 5’9 and a size 16 and I get all my jeans from Next.

Bonjovispjs · 25/07/2024 21:55

I like Yours clothing.

IwantToDatePicard · 25/07/2024 21:55

Yours clothing do a nice straight and boot cut Jean in long length. Nice black slightly stretchy in sizes up to 24.

Got some nice straight leg button fly ones from Levis recently. Mid rise though so they need a belt for the waist gap.

My favourite jeans ever are a pair of girlfriend Simone ones from Joules. Amazing fit. No waist gap.

Cherrysoup · 25/07/2024 22:01

Pretty Little Thing, Curve section. Remember to size down, they do vanity sizes. Lots of variety with styles.

verylongday · 25/07/2024 22:02

I'm 5ft 7, size 16, big bum and thighs. M&S Sienna jeans are the best fit by miles.

jay55 · 25/07/2024 22:08

Levis was the last place I got jeans from. They have good sales.

CharlotteLightandDark · 25/07/2024 22:34

I have a pair of Taika balloon leg jeans from Monki that fit well, then bought another pair from vinted and they didn’t fit at all which was annoying.

i buy almost everything secondhand online but jeans really have to be tried on i think.

CharlotteLightandDark · 25/07/2024 22:35

I’m also 5.6 1/2 and a 14-16 with a big bum and bit of a belly :)

Same. They do plus sizes online (I am much bigger than the OP).

Ginkypig · 25/07/2024 22:43

This is my thread!!! I could have started it myself.

thankyou @Britishsummertime22 for starting it and for all the recommendations.

nothing to add sadly

Boymum2104 · 25/07/2024 22:51

Ambela jeans!

ThinWomansBrain · 25/07/2024 23:00

I'm a 16 and a bit shorter than you - Gap do barrel jeans that are amazing, despite the name, flattering
High waisted, loose, but not flappy wide legs, tapered in at the ankle.
Love them.

Meadowwild · 26/07/2024 06:47

I just bought some gorgeous jeans from Uniqlo. Can't wait for the weather to cool so I can wear them. Hadn;t bought jeans for a few years because my shape really doesn't look good in them. But these were so well cut.
