Which jeans would be good for my gigantic calves?

[frumperina]

I normally wear bootcut jeans(mostly Gap) or slouchy 'boyfriend' ones but would really like a change. I'm a size 16/18 and unfortunately have enormous calves. So I think skinny jeans are out.
I actually tried a pair of straight jeans in Gap a while ago and, if I remember correctly, did not get them over my calves.(I seem to have blocked the experience from my memory.)
Am I doomed to slouchy/bootcut jeans hell forever or is there some hope?

try the gap curvy straight jeans...Straight leg jeans for curvy ladies...they should work.

Hm, I can't find those on the Gap website.I can only see the curvy ones, which seem to be boot cut?

could have sworn I saw them in the sjop the other day...

What's wrong with bootcut anyway?They are the most flattering shape possible if you have hips and a bum!!!

Was trying to be less mumsy.

I'm probably a bit bigger than you, and swear by Next jeans. I've even got some proper skinny ones that I love. Worth a try!

Thank you for the tip, never thought of looking in Next. Will have a look next week.
