Skinny jeans for fat thighs?

I have the regulation brown boots but all my jeans are boot cut. I have sadly large thighs - as pear shaped as pears can get. Are there any skinny jeans that would look good on me, or an alternaive to skinny jeans that would go into the boots?

Try TopShop Martha jeans. They are straight leg jeans and have a lot of give in the fabric. They are slightly higher cut than they used to be so no muffin top/bum cleavage risk. The back pockets are cleverly cut small and positioned to make your bum look amazing :)

I got a good pair from Mint Velvet although it was over a year ago, they are generously proportioned but definitely skinnies.

Thanks both! I will brave the shopping centre tomorrow and have a look in TS and see if JL do MV.

the coloring will make your thighs look smaller.

If you haven't tried leggings with boots then give those a whirl too - unlike jeans, leggings add virtually nothing in terms of bulk. Even skinny jeans have all sorts of lumps and bumps that are a PITA if you have lumps and bumps of your own. Just make sure you wear them with a very long top or dress, mid-thigh at least.

If course you may not be lardy, in which case jeans are good!

These jeans are really good and tuck into jeans. They keep their shape and don't go baggy too.

second the Uniqlo

I have thighs of whale like proportions, and I love my Forever 21 skinny jeans, £11.50 normally... I got them in the sale for £7.99! I love them because they are thin, so tuck into boots well, stretchy so really comfortable, and not low-rise so my tummy and bum are well covered! If you buy them, do wash them first because I did a great job of dying my hands and my pale tan leather handbag blue.

I think spanx do slimming leggings. They are calf length - so you do need to wear them tucked in. But they are lovely and firm and hold legs in.

Or take a pair of your boot cut to the dressmakers and get her to make them straight legged.

Thanks again everyone, loads to look at here. I picked up a pair of jeans in Debenhams today for £18, bargain. I'll also look at some leggings and long tops.

Ooh I braved jeggings a month ago, I'm size 16/18 pear shaped. They look ok with a tunic to cover the arse and mid calf boots to balance out the body. Give them a try?
