The best skinny jeans for a rotten pear

10 replies

Skinheadmermaid · 24/06/2013 00:32

Title says it all really. I'm a six up top but a size 10 with an ample bottom and thighs and mucular martial artist calves.
Even to fit into a ten they need to have a bit of stretch but a twelve is always way too big. Then if i find a pair that actually fits they go all saggy round the knees after a day. :(
Has anyone found the holy grail of pear suitable jeans?!?

am exact same size I fond esprit skinnies on an 8 best. they stretch alot the 10 too big.

I am a size 12 on the bottom with fat bottom and legs and an extremely scrawny and bony size 10 on the top. I find Karen millen great, extremely flattering, wash well and don't bag at the knees, expensive but worth it. I also have some very good New Look ones.

Oh really, i've never bought jeans from espirit or karen millen. I shall check them both out, thanks!

M&S jeggings.Dd1 is a 6 on top and a 8/10 on the bottom and the coloured 5 pocket jeggings look fab on[as do the Marilyn jeans].

I wear Uniqlo skinny straights, they're fab, and not too expensive either. They come up fairly big so you need to size down.

I'm a compared to you lot and started with the m and s leggings after a post on here. They are cheap but need replacing regularly.

munchkinmaster · 24/06/2013 10:16

I'm a fattie compared to you lot

rubylovescheese · 24/06/2013 10:26

munchkin I think when you're a rotten pear (love it op!) that you just look so out of proportion if you don't get the right fit no matter what your size.
esprit jeans always heavily discounted in sales try debenhams house of fraser etc usually cost around 35 a pair.

Ah you see I used to be a size 10 rotten pear and would get all stressed about my ass! Now I'm fat I look at old photos and wonder what I was on!

I am the same size as you and I tried on a really comfortable pair in Wallis yesterday. I didn't buy them because I just don't look good in skinny jeans with my ample thighs.
