Boyfriend jeans or similar in the winter?

I've been wearing boyfriend jeans or chinos all summer, or trousers of a similar shape, so a bit loose, tapered and slightly rolled up. Looks good with trainers or ankle boots IMO but not with socks! What's the alternative for the winter do you think? Skinnies don't work for me very well as I'm a bit larger on the hips to look good in them (size 12-14) and I find straight legged jeans dull and characterless. I sometimes struggle with casual clothes but have really cracked it with the tapered chinos, boyfriend jeans etc with little turn ups but I am really struggling to find a winter alternative so my ankles dont freeze. Please help or I don't know what I'll be wearing this winter at all

Have you tried any of the 'girlfriend' jeans styles? They're more fitted than boyfriend jeans but not as tight as skinnies. I think they work better with ankle boots than boyfriend jeans. You could do something like this? www.un-fancy.com/outfits/fall-outfits/how-to-wear-ankle-boots-with-socks/

I wore tights under my boyfriend jeans last Winter.

Gap Girlfriend Jeans are fantastic. I was dubious, but having tried them and bought one pair I am a convert. They aren't baggy, and rolled up they work nicely with my Isabel Marant Dicker boots.

Girlfriend jeans sound interesting. Maybe I'll look at those thanks.
Mayum you say you wore tights, what colour tights did you wear?

I wear fishnet ankle-highs with jeans/boots in winter. No gap or chilly ankles, but a bit nicer looking than normal socks.
