Skinny jeans for the large of calf????

12 replies

RiojaLover75 · 21/09/2013 11:17

I buy my knee high boots from Duo as I am large of calf and until now have resisted the skinny jean look as I cannot physically fit skinnies over my calves :-(
Can anyone please help me find more generous skinny jeans/ trousers?

I don't know what size you are but Evans do skinny jeans from a size 14 upwards. Smile

Primark are surprisingly spacious on their skinnies. Would slim leg be better than a skinny?

I am 12/14 in M&S sizing....... 40cm round the calf

Cat I have tried slim legs also with no success.... I must admit I had not considered Evans.... I should look there.

I haven't tried their skinnies but I am presuming they are probably cut quite generously all over.

Uniqlo skinnies are fab.I am also chunky of calf and they stretch beautifully.

I'm a size 10-12 but have 42cm calves (clearly from all that exercise I do Hmm ) and would second Uniqlo. If you fancy treating yourself, I bought myself a pair of Gwenevere slim cut jeans by 7 for all mankind jeans from Brandalley and they are very lovely and look 'skinny'.

i am also muscular of calf and struggle but have recently discovered Wallis is great for skinnies.Have bought 4 pairs recently.All about £30 ish.They looked dire on their website but i was pleasantly surprised when i went in store!

I've got large calfs and thighs and new look skinny trousers fit me fine. I pretty much over in the black ones over winter.

I have given up on skinny jeans and wear straight leg instead. My calves are just too big for skinnies Sad
