What jeans to have size 18?

11 replies

Inthebeginning · 17/03/2013 21:36

Hi,
I lost a lot of weight as went from a size 26 bottom half to a size 18 (sometimes 20).
I'm still wearing the same type of jeans that I used to wear- stretchy bootleg. They look ok on me but I'm worried they're a bit outdated.
I'm thinking what other type would suit me? I'm very curvy with a blobby belly ( I'm working on it)
I thought about straight leg/skinny for when I wear tunic tops? Or maybe slouchy/boyfriend jeans so I can wear tighter tops.
I know I'm still larger but I'm so much smaller than before iyswim!
Any ideas? And where from?

I'm a size 18-20 and wear jeggings from m&s to wear with long tops.

Thanks nombre I already have leggings so wanted something a bit more denimy but haven't had any before so might have a look.

Well done on the weight loss!

I am an 18 and 5ft9. I wear these and they're great

I have straight leg ones from M&S that are £12.50. I'm 5 7", size 18 apple shaped and these are cut quite high on the waist so less of a muffin top than others. They are not the most stylish but fine for wearing with hip length or longer tops.

Never thought of m and co! Will have a look.
Once I got into it. It was quite easy. Walk everywhere, exercise twice a week, only have treats wine at the weekend.
Just got to get into wearing "thinner" clothes now!
