Jeans for chunky legs!

7 replies

OnTopOfSpaghetti · 25/08/2018 09:59

Can anyone point me in the right direction to find some reasonably flattering jeans for chunky legs? I carry a lot of weight on my thighs and my calves aren't great either, I am overweight anyway which isn't helping, a size 14 usually. Now that the weather is cooler I am missing my floaty trousers and looking at my selection of jeans feeling distinctly underwhelmed. Lots of bootcuts which I definitely need to get rid of. Can't do skinny for obvious reasons. Help!

I do wide leg jeans, but many on here aren't keen Smile

Just seen your reply, thank you. Hadn't considered wide leg jeans, I'll try and find some!

Boden wide leg jeans

I like Gap Real Straight jeans, which are quite slim cut but not parsnip-leg. For me, the trick is to stretch things out by getting a bit of covert height in there, either with wedges or boots with chunky heels - too narrow a heel only emphasises the way my body seems to be tapering down to a pin...
