I'm simply can't get any that fit. I'm 40 and have always been slim size 10-12. 3 kids later however, I'm carrying extra weight on my hips, stomach and thighs. Nothing seems to fit well around both my waist and my hips/bum. Everything is too low cut. Where do I even begin? They need to be slim/skinny

Also (ridiculous I know) how do I know what size I am?! Lots of jeans are much too tight round my bum but too loose round my waist so look awful cinched in with a belt. Where do I need to measure myself?

I like Topshop Jamie , I'm about the same size .. both the 28 and 30 fit me but I prefer the looser fit of the 30 . They come in leg lengths too !

I really struggle with jeans due to needing longer length, but bought some fat face ones which are doing well so far. I finally learnt to size down and sacrifice breathing for a few minutes until they stretch! Grin

I’m a huge fan of oasis’s cherry jeans. They are fantastic-flattering and long lasting.

My slim friend bought some cherry's recently and they look good. She won't mind me saying we're both carrying a bit extra in the tummy department too since dc Grin

I have a friend who has a bigger bum and smaller waist, she swears by top shop jeans!

I was going to suggest Jamie Jeans, they’re higher rise so hold everything in, and the denim is thick but stretchy so they hold shape, but also stretch to fit.
