Jeans for a pear shaped, shortie?

[Thebluedog]

I love my boot cut jeans but they are starting to look so dated now.

Skinny jeans make me look like a carrot and straight jeans with roll ups make me look stumpy.

I love my jeans but, am I just getting to the point I’m just too old or the wrong shape?

I’m 5’2” a size 14/16 on the bottom and a 12/14 up top, 40 something. I love chunky biker type boots and I’ve lived in those and a pair of skinny jeans this winter (the big boots seem to counter my big hips), but I’m so bored and want a pair of jeans that I can wear, that don’t make me look like my mum and I can wear shoes with

Any ideas?

Me too !!!
I tried with skinny jeans but my calves are far too wide, it really doesnt look good.I love them but they don't love me !
Straight legs - I tried the roll up and i looked like I was going paddelling ! They make me look stumpy.

This weekend for the first time in ages I got my boot cut Next shaper jeans back out as I have given in !
Trouble is, worn with converse or flat trainers they look so " mum " jeans !

Oh god don’t start me on my calf’s, I struggle getting knee high boots as my calf’s are wide (fml ).

I’ve got free delivery for Next so I’ve just ordered about 10 pairs of jeans to try on in the comfort of my own home - including boot cut

I'm currently wearing Next relaxed skinnies (petite) and before that I had Gap best girlfriend (petite). I am a pear almost the same height as the OP but a bit smaller although my thighs are my problem area. I'm wearing a 12 in the Next and I had a 30 in the Gap. I think they both look OK, the Gap ones are shorter (ankle). My teenage daughter says the Next ones look better.
