Skinny Jeans without Muffin Top - does such a thing exist?

I'm stuck in a skinny jeans nightmare.

I'm a size 12, 5ft10. I have large hips, bit of a belly, but a small waist - kind of hourglass shaped.

I can't find skinny jeans which don't stop about 4 inches up from my crotch, thereby cutting off at exactly my fattest bit around the hips, causing mega muffin top.

I have another pair from Next which are a size 14, they are longer from crotch to waist, to get up around hips to my actual waist, but then they're way too baggy around my middle and I have to wear a belt which makes them bunch up.

It means that I can only wear long jumpers over skinny jeans, to hide the waist bunching / muffin top disaster.

Is there such a thing as a pair of skinny jeans that will fit me?

It's low-rise that created the muffin top. They don't suit most women's shape.

Levi's do good high rise skinnies.

I'm the same! Slim but most jeans stop at my squidgieist bit and even thought they fit fine they create a muffin top meh..

I bought some great indigo high-waisted jeans from Zara and they solve the problem perfectly.. They don't have them anymore but I just ordered these black ones It says trousers but they are jeans really.

Levis curve-how is their sizing? I'm a 16 now Blush and always worried that cool and young brands won't fit

I am 5'10 and wear m&s collection jeggings, they are more like skinny jeans than jeggings. They reach my belly button. I would say they are about half a size bigger than expected.

I can't bear to try another pair of Next skinny jeans, I have tried about three different types and they have all gone baggy halfway through the day and start fall to down.

lucked that is exactly why I'm reluctant to get any more Next jeans. They always seem to go baggy really quickly. Are there any styles that keep their shape?

You need oasis jade skinnies. Size down.
