So, thanks to all previous suggestions on other threads, ive solved the shoe issue ( not sure how i managed before investing in running trainers. What a difference)

Now i jeed to kmow wtf you all do about jeans. If i size up they are too big around the waist and belts are annoying when its too bunched up. If i get them to fit around the waist my thighs have other ideas. I wear skinny jeans for work. Yes i know im probably 20 years too old for them but it saves all the trailing on the ground and frayed bottoms. By the end of a shift i have seams imprinted on my legs 😭.

So outside of gym shorts im screwed 😂. I usually shop new look.or next for my jeans. Although next is a bit pricy really. Need some more thigh friendly brand suggestions. Or is this just what its like when you have spent 2 years lifting and u just walk around and hope the seams hold?

I’m an hourglass shape and I’ve had that problem with jeans all my life. Currently Levi’s 501s ribcage jeans are fitting me best. I buy to fit me snugly round the waist. The button fly is deep enough to get them over my thighs & hips. Some styles are wider on the thighs than others, so I recommend trying them on, or asking staff for advice on this. I’m afraid they’re more expensive than New Look or Next.

Weekday jeans - can be found on ASOS. I’ve got over a 10 inch difference between my waist and hips, and have shapely quads. These jeans are the perfect fit, and great quality.

Yeah im not a levi girl i have to say. Especially as i mostky just wear them to work so would need two pairs at least given shift patterns dont always allow for me to turn them around in the wash in time.

Ive always had trouble at the best of times due to my body shape but now ive gained a little muscle in the legs its worse .

What about halara jeans or trousers? Those are sold specifically advertising their stretchiness so that it can fit a range of body shapes.
I've got their leggings and shorts which are great. I'm tempted too by some of their jeans as I'm not a fan of thick, good quality, more stiff jeans.
There's plenty of clips about them on line and a large variety of styles.

My shorts in a small fit both me as a 10 and DD who is a 6 at most.

Ill take a look at halara. If they do jeans that are that stretchy that could well be the answer thank u

Mom or barrel leg have been a game changer for me. I’ve always had a slim waist and big bum/thighs.
