Which jeans for size 14-16?

[mrsfleming32]

Hi! Can anyone recommend some flattering jeans? I'm 5ft 6, 36f boobs which make me look bigger than I am and a bit of a tummy. Any jeans, whatever style, look terrible in my opinion. I'm 14-16 and 41 tomorrow!

Thanks to this thread I am now the proud owner of a pair of M and S relaxed skinny jeans. I even got complimented on them by DD, who is 16 and very critical.

I really rate primark skinnies with the high waist, they have the three button thing too, best jeans I've had since I had a proper waist

M&s regular straight jeans. I think theyre either £10 or £15.
They have a bum and a waist. The straightcut are like skinnies to me cos have big calves. Im a size 16 and booby and feel good in them.

I've just bought some Next cigarette jeans, and not sure I understand them. They are more girlfriend jeans. Quite loose fitting round thighs, then taper to turn up.

Are they meant to be straight? Which is what cigarette would imply

Summerdreams - They are the exact ones I mean they are super flattering.

I really like Papaya jeans from Matalan. Everything gives me a massive gap around the waist. Also, as I've got a body 2" longer than the norm, the higher waisted ones enable me to go out without showing the top of my knickers. Not a good look at my age!

I've some that I've had for 10 years and will be buying more on a UK (shopping) trip later this year.

They have 3 buttons as well as someone mentioned above!

last summer I was a size 14 5ft 6 and bought jeans from absolutely every where Zara, h&m, river island and new look I found a pair of dark high wasted jeans from new look the most flattering they were skinny but not super skinny but I found they made me look smaller rather then bigger as the other jeans did I bought 3 pairs.

Pleased I found this thread! Am size 14-16 and find jeans hard to find, I also have chunky thighs so often they are too loose around the waist in order to fit my legs.
Going to try some of your suggestions.

Jane Norman jeans for me-they are the only jeans I've ever found comfy.
Super soft skinny all the way.

All the lift and shape ones make my bum bigger and my muffin top worse.

[Robstersgirl]

I've recently become a size 14 in jeans and am the same height as you and after 5 kids have a tummy too, I solemnly swear 3 button high waisted jeans are the best. Do not even attempt one button ones they will make your tummy worse. New look ones are the best but Primark also do them. No need to spend more than you need to.

H&M have some lovely ones. Erm lift and shape style. Not cheap at about £35 but they are nice. They also do some lovely and comfy high waisted skinny jeans for £7.99. My favourite bargain buy x

Fat Face straight leg jeans have a lot of room around the waist/tummy. I have a pair so can vouch for them. My 16YO told me I looked really nice in them last week, so they can't be bad.

That said, they are a bit gapey around my waist because I have the opposite problem to you - no tummy but huge bum/hips/thighs. Levi Demi Curve suit my shape.

We are the same build - I've worn M&S 5 pocket jeggings for ages .
Just bought a pair of Sainsburys premium skinnies (still only £21) and they are gorgeous.

I love the high waisted skinny jeans from miss Selfridge. They have just the right amount stretch to be comfortable but also hold everything in .

I find it hard to get jeans that fit - they usually look like a "a sack of spuds" as my mother would say! im 45 5.3 and half and size 14 but carry my weight on my belly/boobs (e cup)/arms so my legs are not as big compared to rest of my body - i find those jeggings are great and M&S so some really nice ones - always make sure you buy the stretchy type cos they hold your belly in without cutting off your circulation (hee hee) - always try them on in the shop if you are like me, cos otherwise you just end up returning items all the time! I love my jeggings and as long as you are careful with what you team them up with you can look great, i really love them - although if you asked me that 12 months ago i wouldnt have even tried them on saying they were for young girls, but my legs are my best asset. Wallis do a really lovely dark indigo pair but their sizes are big so you might squeeze into a 12 - best to try first! good luck!

Pammie70 do you have a 'larger' belly, if you don't mind me asking? I'm also 5ft 2 and large boobed and although I'm a 14 I usually have to get size 16 to accommodate my huge belly. Not found any great fitting jeans, unfortunately.

I'm a size 14-16 and buy my skinny jeans from matalan. Fit me lovely (they are quite high waisted so can tuck everything in 😉) and good price at about £20. I bought 3 pairs from there 2 years ago and 2 are going strong - still perfect shape, though 1 pair have gone a bit baggy around the knees still for £20 and 2 years very regular wear I think that's pretty good?!

[BikeRunSki]

I'm a similar age, shape and size to you OP. I love my M&S straight legs. I can't get my calf muscles into anything skinny! Straight legs looks skinny on me!

[HooseRice]

Lee cooper straight jeans give me an amazing arse

[Phalenopsisgirl]

Joes muse cut are particularly flattering for a curvy figure

[StickTheDMWhereTheSunDontShine]

I like the M&S sculpt and lift jeans. I wear the skinnies, but they come in a slim fit, too.
