Skinny jeans recommendations please

I love Topshops Baxters because I can get leg lengths I need (I'm 5'4" - too short for 32", too tall for petite) but it seems I have these options:

Size 8 - muffin top, thrush likely, breathing optional

Or

Size 10 - breathing possible but no arse

So until a size 9 is available, what jeans should I be buying?

Save my weekend uniform please!

John Lewis have got some Levi Curve reduced at the moment. I'm size 9 and short too and just got a 28 waist bold curve with a 30 leg for the bargainous wonder price of £20!. I got straight leg rather than skinny, but they had skinnies too around £40.

They're not showing on the website though, now I've just checked.

H and m and asda do size 9

i think you are meant to go for smaller size so 8 as they will relax with wash and wear, where as the 10 baggy butt will only get baggier.

Im also on hunt for perfect skinny jeans i need a pair that are tight around ankles to wear with boots all the pairs ive tried are too loose and baggy

Primark. Super skinny are v tight around the ankles ..

I have these H&M ones in many colours, wash really well and do NOT go baggy.. They are also on the figure hugging side so you can go for a size 8.. they also roll up easily and look great with boots?

Johnnie B (teen boden) skinnies are great, I have three pairs, one of which I am wearing now. I have always got them in the sale though.

I second johnnie b skinnies. I read about them on here, was a bit sceptical but got some to try and they are fab. I'm between a 10 and a 12 and same height as OP and find 30r perfect.
