Jeans and boots help please

Now that the weather has turned a bit, my thoughts have turned to jeans and boots. I'm hopelessly unselfish, I usually wear what I like, regardless of fashion.

But, I'm currently fatter than I'd like and struggling a bit.

What sort of jeans/boots combo is popular this autumn, and will it suit me? 5ft 7, size 14/16. I have a bum, but slim calves and ankles which makes me look odd in skinny jeans and small shoes iyswim.

Bootleg jeans are flattering balancing bum and legs.

I keep seeing bootleg jeans in shops, but I’ve yet to see someone wearing them in real life.

Nottalotta I’m your height and size with chunky legs/ankles and big feet. I’m sure you look fab in skinnies or slim jeans. Smile

Thank you, I just think I look weird and out of proportion. I love a bootleg but have spent so long wearing skinnies!

I'm a similar shape and I'm wearing these with skinnies today.

Ooh I like those!! Is it the foot thatsextra wide or the calf?

Ankle length jeans with ankle boots is extremely popular at the minute. Only a small gap so fine for this time of year.

The foot but the calf is fairly generous too.

I have a pair of vintage Levi bootlegs on today. I’m wearing them with a pair of red Corral boots.

Thanks all. I don't seem to be able to pull off the shorter skinny with short ankle boots look somehow.
