Straight leg jeans for thighs

11 replies

TurtleMyrtle · 28/10/2026 09:54

I need a pair of straight leg jeans that are slightly cropped enough to wear with ankle boots.

However, I have thighs. Every pair i try on are fitted on my thighs and then fit right from the knee down which just isn’t flattering.

Has anyone found a pair accommodating of a chunkier thigh?

Bumping, because I too need to know

I’m keen for this too but haven’t solved it yet! The M&S Sienna look like badly fitted skinnies on me!!!

I’ve just bought some Levi’s 501 and love them. I have bigger thighs and smaller waist and they fit well.

not ankle length but I just bought relaxed straight jeans from River Island and they are looser on the thighs than most jeans are on me. You can get them in different lengths . They are quite wide at the bottom too.

I find the abercrombie jeans are good with bigger thighs - they have a curve range

TurtleMyrtle · 30/10/2026 17:14

i should have added that Levi and Abercrombie are out of my budget, sorry!

Levi do blue light and if you sign up you get £5 off too. But you could go in store and try on and buy from Vinted if you like?

I have the same issue and have reconciled with myself that they're just not a good fit for my shape.
I have bought some Zara barrel ones recently, £30 and so flattering - not too barrel-y called 'ankle relaxed mid waist tried on a few variations and liked them all!

I’ve been trying jeans on in M&S.

I think the nearest I can get is carrot leg jeans. Their jeans are so long though!

I am 5ft7 and need petite!

I really rate these (not sure if they'll be the right length tho?)
