Jeans for the pear shaped

Can anyone recommend a good style f or everyday /weekend jeans that don't ride down into harem pants round my crotch or make me look like an Oompa Loompa? I'm 5'8" and a size 14 (medium height, squidgy build, 8 weeks post dc2 and desperate to de-frump)!

I really like Gap Sexy Boot jeans. They're sort of skinny through the calf with a flattering kick flare that you can hide a heel under, so you get the balancing benefits of a boot cut but without looking like you're wearing total bootcuts, iykwim.

I have 3 pairs of these in different colours- they are brilliant.

Jigsaw Richmond, great fit and flattering shape.

Don't be disheartened by the fit ATM. I snapped right back into jeans after DD but after DS it took about 5 months, despite having lost the weight, it was like my shape had changed, but it did go back eventually. What I'm saying us don't throw away your old jeans yet!

Thanks Ladies! Ill definitely check these out. I'm not despairing Floot, but yesterday saw me with a full 3 inches of jeans below my bits! It kept my knees so close together it could have been an alternative contraception. Boom-boom! Seriously though I look a fright!! Thanks for all the suggestions!

After I had DS tights just would not stay up at all over my wobbly bits. When he was a few weeks old they just fell down in the street and I had to dash into Superdrug and furtively hoik them up behind some shelving...
