Mom/straight leg jeans that are flattering

So...I'm an apple shape (size 14 ish) and am looking to ditch all my old skinnies and get some everyday mom or straight legs. Ive has a couple of pairs in the past from top shop but my bum looks a bit sad in them to be honest!
Has anyone found a comfortable flattering pair of these if you're a similar shape to me?

There are no mom jeans that are flattering. Hideously unflattering especially if you're an apple shape.

I like marks and spencers jeans, they do a slim leg which is very nice and more like straight ? Also Next slim leg jeans are cut quite big on the waist so would be comfy ? These are the next ones

They also do ankle length straight ones. On both of them the denim is really soft and comfortable

These Gap ones are nice and perfect for wearing with trainers. In fact have a look at all Gap Jeans - they do a great range of straight leg, girlfriend and boyfriend jeans that might suit. I have their girlfriend jeans and they are more like a straight fit

I also have these Levi's which are called 'tapered leg' but are in no way skinny. This is them on me - nice thing about Levi's is that you can be very specific with sizing which is great if you're in between sizes.

They are called 501 Tapered Leg Jeans

Here on the Levi's website but more like the ones below on amazon, seem to be called 501 tapered boyfriend jeans and are more distressed. Haven't posted link to amazon as it seems to come up with my account details on but you can probably search for them on amazon and find them.
They are £85 but I actually got them for £25 from Debenhams in February, don't seem to be on the Debenhams site anymore!

Thanks I'll check amazon

Agree - no mom style jean is flattering. I’m slim with a flat bum and they accentuate the flatness and look bulky around the tummy area even though it’s flat.

Thought the whole point of mum jeans was that they look ill fitting and unfashionable?! Or is that just me?!

Lovelymonkeyninetynine · 24/03/2019 12:03

Thanks for the tips and ideas everyone. I'll have a major try on and can hopefully find something (or resign myself to no jeans at all!)

M&S straight jeans slightly rolled up are great

MaryLennoxsScowl · 24/03/2019 22:01

Trouble with mom jeans is that they need to fit really well - still looking for these! I had one pair from topshop that fit nicely, but they’ve changed the shape since then and now the waist is too big. The right ones make your bum look peachy and your waist tiny.
