'Proper' fitting Jeggings or Skinnies....

Ok, so I wear jeggings from Sainsburys (TU) or Matalan, both which are fairly comfortable and very reasonably priced, however, they aren't particulary the best looking on me! I am apple shaped, so have a biggish belly & flat bum, my legs are slimmer, I have a thigh gap (I look odd). My jeggings never look 'smooth', they look rolled up every where. like, they gather up on my legs, iukwim? I usually wear a size 12, but i am guessing that because that's the stretchiness in them, if I was to wear skinnies with a waistband and button, i'd probably need a 14.

Where do I need to look for a pair of decent jeggings or skinnies. I do have a pair of Next 'jeggings' from a couple of years ago and they too go 'roly' on the legs. I go for regular leg length. I'm 5'5" (I think!) am I choosing too long a leg?

I don't mind paying a bit more for a decent pair.

I usually get my leggings from H&M or New Look. But I am a different shape to you so I don't know if that will be useful, but they are cheap enough so worth a shot.

Skinny jeans I have a great pair I bought from Quiz a couple of months ago, they fit really well but again I'm a different shape so I don't know if that's any use. They were only like £20 though too.
