What jeans should a curvy shortarse buy for A/W?

[QueenAravisOfArchenland]

Finally no longer pregnant, more or less back in my old clothes and thoroughly sick of jeggings and skinnies. What style of jeans should I buy for A/W and can anyone recommend a brand? I'd like to dip a toe in the high waisted/straight leg waters if I can find a flattering pair - I'm 5'2" with lots of hips and arse.

Willing to pay north of £50 for a pair that flatters and wears well, but not over £100. Canst advise, style Mavens?

No idea but I’m lurking because I need some jeans too.

Trend pieces are saying wide-cut high waisted... Really? Is it me, or is even the model barely pulling these off?

Oh lord those things are hideous. I loath skinny’s but if that’s the alternative

I'm similar height and finding straight crops are looking good to me. Trying lots on but not buying yet.

I've seen these on lots of Instagram posts and I do really like them
straight crop

Oh, I could go straight crop. Chilly ankles though (although on me straight crop are probably just... Straight).

How's the fit on &otherStories?

I haven't tried them on but I haven't seen anything anywhere to suggest they are not true to size. I'm very tempted

I'm 5'2" and curvy and have finally moved on from skinnies. I'd recommend either a slim fit or straight fit - surprisingly M&S do some decent ones, or try UniQlo.

Is there somewhere where you can get a personal jeans shopper that isn't prohibitive.

Another curvy 5'2 person here - I've gone for a couple of pairs of Levi straight leg. They have a high waist and I've worn them both full length and rolled up. They still feel a little bit alien after so long in skinnies, but I think I'm pleased with them.

MrsMarigold, I'm in London, so I could try hitting the department-store personal shoppers. I kiiiiind of feel a bit too old for Topshop, but also a bit too young for John Lewis, tho? (I'm 34.) Maybe I'm being unfair to JL.

Thanks Remus, checking out proper old school Levi's sounds like a good call.

It might be worth a trip to John Lewis if you're in London. The branch here still has lots of pairs of Levis in the sale, for about £25 each!

NYDJ are good for curves and come up in eBay frequently . Might be a bit too old for you though . Sold in JL .

Gap has a style of jeans called curvy so I'm guessing they are specifically cut for curves. Worth a try

Wembly designer outlet has loads of jean shops. Might be a good spot for comparison shopping.

I quite rate Next for jeans at the mo. They do all manner of "sucky in lifty up" type jeans. I'm wearing a pair of their "360 stretch" and they are very flattering on my size 16 wobbly arse. The 360 ones are priced just under £50.

QueenAravis, I'm also in London maybe we should go together.... I tried on nearly every pair of jeans in topshop and they were all hideous.

I bought lovely Levi's this summer (though I am taller but curvy). I have never suited Levi's so new styles maybe? Worth a look anyway, these are the most flattering jeans I have bought in years.

Thanks went to Levi's on Regent Street, awesome shop assistant and now own some great jeans

Try NEXT 360. I am a tall fatty so got Long but look good and lovely and comfy.
