Short and curvy - Would you help me find jeans please?

Hi everyone. I have recently lost a stone in weight; I am a now curvaceous size 10 but only 5" tall. I would like a pair of dark jeans I can tuck inside my calf length boots (without surplus denim fabric hanging on top of the boots) and that and look flattering around the bum area. My legs are still quite chubby so I don't necessarily want skinny jeans. Any ideas anyone? Thanks so much!

These are pretty amazing IMO.

You won't be able to tuck bootcut jeans into boots. If you don't like skinny jeans then try straight cut jeans.

You need skinny jeans to tuck into your boots. Try them. You will be surprised!

My friend is just over five foot, size ten but pear shaped with bum and thighs. She swears by diesel jeans - she has them taken up but they are super flattering on her. She has a pair of very dark wash and a pair of medium wash. Every time she comes to London she buys another pair because everyone tells her how great they look. what about something like these: www.next.co.uk/shopping/branded/fashionforher/49/9?extra=sch&n=branded&pid=983-021&returnurl=/search%3fp%3dQ%26lbc%3dnext%26uid%3d293288258%26ts%3dv8%26w%3ddiesel%26af%3dgattgender:women%26method%3dand%26filter%3dsubset%253a4201%26nxtv%3d000%26nxti%3d0%23983-021&bct=%26quot;Diesel%26quot;%26nbsp;%26gt;%26nbsp;Women

I am 5 ft and size 10, I second diesel jeans.. I get them from eBay as I like them to look a bit vintage.. ronhar are a good style ( bootcut ) not much good for tucking in though

Thank you all, I'm going to concentrate my search on Diesel (expensive!). So for a short size 10, what size jeans (approximately) should I go for? Can you tell I haven't owned a pair of jeans for the past 15 years!? This is HUGE!

I wear 28 or 29 depending on the style..I would go to a diesel shop and try them on because they can vary so much..also try tk maxx ..I got a pair of ronhar for £5 once!

Gap do jeans for curvy people - called something like Curvy (!). I have also found M&S jeans that fit and even skinnys that look nice (I carry most of my weight on my bum and legs too). They tend to be high waisted, but that's ok these days.

Good luck.
