Skinny jeans when you have skinny legs but a bigger tummy?

I’m looking for skinny jeans or jeggings that are comfortable and look good. I have nice size 8 legs but my waist is more of a 10-12, so I have to choose between discomfort on my tummy or baggy legs!
Any recommendations of brands that might fit my proportions better?

Try Sculpt Pull On Denim Leggings from Next - I have this shape too and they fit well and look good.

Next brand jeans in general seem to be good for my shape, but the Sculpt ones are incredibly soft and comfy. I've been living in my 3 pairs for weeks now. If you buy online then you may need to order several sizes to get it right - I suggest you order according to your waist size, rather than your leg size, but Next sizing can be a bit unreliable in general. Worth the experimentation, though!

Thanks. I’m in town later this week so I’ll have a look in Next

I have this problem too after 2 kids - good tip on Next.

I'm the same and I find Topshop Leigh a really good fit, nice and skinny soft denim with a higher waist band that's a bit roomier

I am a classic middle aged apple shape with very skinny legs. If you can get to London the Uniqlo skinny fit jeggings are nice. I bought a few pairs three years ago and they all still look like new (apart from the one I spilt chilli oil on).

Topshop Joni or Jamie.

ASOS Sculpt Me are really good - another here with the same issue!

New Look lift and shape skinnies are super comfy and I'm also a size 8/10-12 combo!

Thanks all, a few to try when I go shopping

I'm the same with jeans.....find Next are best!

Primark skinny jeans, stretch fabric, cheap and cheerful :)

Gap does a curvy skinny jean.

Topshop’s Jamie jeans are the best I’ve ever worn. Higher waist, proper skinny leg, some styles are a bit like jeggings but they have proper denim versions too
