Which jeans for parsnip legs?

[ShmooBooMoo]

5ft4 ish, size 10, larger of thigh than of calf and wanting to avoid the parsnip leg look...which jeans? Thanks! :)

My legs are parsnips and I've always favoured the wide leg/flared ones. The years of skinny jeans have not been friendly to root vegetables.
"Mom" style ones might be ok too?

parsnips are how women legs should look like.....

Similar parsnip shape and size 10. I wear skinnies or relaxed skinny rolled up which balances my leg shape better. Still wish for bootcut to make a proper comeback as so much more flattering

Slightly bigger than you and quite chunky of thigh. I find straight leg or slim fit better than skinnies, they seem to balance me better.

I wear them over heeled boots I think they make my stumpy legs look slightly longer (wishful thinking). Next do a good range.

Wide leg or flared for me. I tried skinnies/tapered and looked dreadful.

Parsnip legs

Apple, that's what I always think when I read on here about women complaining that their legs look like parsnips

And OP, I would worry if your thighs weren't larger than your calves

What the fuck is parsnip legs? Where whatever jeans you like and are comfortable for you.

Wear! Ffs me!!!

I wear M&S straight jeans/trousers.

I look ridiculous in skinnies.

Straight or slim leg for me - skinnies look awful.

I have parsnip legs and after years of believing that I should have no thighs I have come to realise parsnip is normal.

Slim fit jeans look good I think, if you have average female thighs.

my best parsnip leg jeans have been Next relaxed boyfriends (although couldn't find them last time I looked so maybe those are out), and Tu straight leg. I tried on practically every pair of jeans on the high street and those were the only ones. sadly these two pairs are now approaching their third winter and may not make it much further so watching with interest!

I think you might like to try straight cut, or what I still call peg shape (are they girlfriend these days?)

Not bootcut, it just makes you look even wider, as legs are meant to taper.

Of skinnies with utterly fabulous boots.

You could wear skinnies but with knee boots - balances the parsnip look.

I usually wear a slight flair - more flattering.

I'm same size and height as you.

by that logic wide or straight cut jeans = tree trunks or courgettes for legs.

women can be so hard on themselves.. why the hell wouldnt your hips and thighs be bigger than your ankles and calves?!

Quick selfie

What does parsnip legs mean please? Does it mean bigger bum, hips & thighs then skinnier calves & ankles? Or does it mean kind of lumpy, misshapen & slightly hairy like a parsnip? Because to be honest both descriptions fit my legs.

Try Gap, best boyfriend/girlfriend or straight ranges. I find them the best. Also wear what you feel comfortable in, everyone has thighs!

cofffeeplunger !

Er...where did you get that pic of me Coffee? 🤔

Nice to hear they're a perfectly normal shape. The 'calf size' thread earlier today was making me wonder. I have skinny little ankles, small calves and thighs to rival Beyoncé. 🥕🥕

^wonder about my own leg shape I mean.

Curvy hips and thighs are beautiful!

I rock skinnies with my parsnip-shaped legs (apparently). I was looking at a picture of myself from behind (my eyes!) and thought omfg I look terrible in skinny jeans (big arse, chunky thighs, small calves and ankles) and my partner came up behind me and said "oh wow, those jeans look amazing on you." And that, for better or worse, has made me feel a lot more comfortable in them!
