Skinny or flare - jeans again!

[Eesha]

So I bought the Topshop Jamie jeans which are nice but I still think I resemble a sausage, with everything looking fitted. I love the flares or bootcut look but I don’t wear heels, plus I’m a size 16 hourglass and everywhere seems skinny. Is there a happy medium?

Go to Topshop or Gap and try on all the jeans in your size. Pick the ones you look and feel best in.

I've ditched the skinny jeans I wear straight legged or cropped wide leg. After over a decade of wearing them I needed a change.

I love a flare, much prefer my figure in them. I don't much like the jamies either, I think its the weird pockets not good for a saggy bum like mine

I bought 6 pairs of Edita's when they came out and got some dylon to make them all a bit different shade wise and still doing me well years later. I don't wear heels either, I'm 5'5 so need them taken up an inch.

I look ok in skinnies I guess, I'm slim but just feel awkward in them my bastarding fat feet make me feel like a clown and I hate how they're all so high waisted

Straight, slim and taper are much more fashionable now than skinny anyway so there's loads of choice in the shops at the moment.

Good shout about gap, shame there isn't one nearby but I'll take a look. I'd just like to wear converses with them so how long should they be

If you order online from Gap then size down one or two sizes. I wear 26" Jamie jeans but the same size from Gap was way too big. I exchanged for 25" but still loose so probably should have gone for 24". That was in their Best Boyfriend jeans.
