Skinny jeans - how to wear ?

Decided I do still have decent legs after all so rashly bought a pair fo M and S skinnies in Indigo. Thing is am a bit top heavy esp on waist so not sure how to wear them. Have ankle boots which go neatly beneath and a few longish tops. Don't want to look like proverbial mutton as am over 40 (and remember skinnies from last time round when was size 8).

I'm very topheavy (ginormous boobs) but wear my skinnies with heavyweight-fabric tunics and little ankle boots. They are quite slimming actually and in my case say "Ok, so massive up top but not a fatty!!"
For me, tunics need to be quite heavy fabric and not belted cos that just makes me look matronly.

How long are the tunics (hip/mid thigh ?) . I have a couple but don't want to feel like I'm wear a dress and jeans !

Wear with tops or blazers that just cover the bum or as another poster said mid-thigh at the very longest.

Wear with ankle boots (or boots that are just above ankle, kind of at the bottom of your leg iykwim) or shoe-boots or high heeled shoes if going out (but NOT with 'strappy' shoes).

Good with flat knee high boots but find skinnies with high-heeled knee high boots (unless it is a very chunky high-heel) very meh and a bit dated looking
