Plus size jeans

Wondering if anyone could point me in the right direction here. I’m a size 14/16 and I can never find any jeans that are flattering or comfortable without being terrible legging type things. I was idly thinking a plus size shop or site might be a better idea. I had a quick google and loads came up but not sure which site would be the best.

Any tips or hints gratefully received!

What style jeans do you like. I don't think you need a plus size shop to find jeans at a 14/16. Have you tried Next and M&S? Both do a large selection of jeans with different fits.
I'm an 18 top and 16 bottom. I sometimes buy plus size for tops but have never needed to for jeans.

Have a look at the stretch ones in M&S by per una. Also, Evans (used to) do an amazing shaped Jean that was wider for bum and hips but narrower waist if you are pear shape.

George at asda do a good range, straight leg ones but not tight, think 2 shades. Also do a slim bootcut ones.

Thank you. Really helpful. I actually found a thread on here (should have searched before posting Grin) Someone suggested Tesco so I nipped to there and I found some amazing jeans! Dark, skinny and high waisted that look great. Cheap too!

Asda jeans seconded. They are so cheap, wash better and last longer than M&S, NEXT etc. that cost 4-5 times the price.

Same for Asda jeans but also new look.

Sainsbury’s have some good jeans. Also Levi’s.

Would high waisted be any interest for you? I wear high waisted because I have a long torso but short legs and it keeps lumps and bumps in whilst still being comfortable (some I find come too low).

The ones I like are these: www.simplybe.co.uk/shop/kim-high-waist-super-soft-bootcut-jeans-regular-length/cl572/product/details/show.action?pdBoUid=1029#colour:,size:

They wash well and are v comfortable personally. They're cheaper on their clearance site (if they have them in your size in the ones you want :) ) here - www.crazyclearance.co.uk/shop/womenswear/_/N-1ytw23e/Ntt-Kim/products/show.action

My favourite fitting and they felt lovely too were from Monsoon. I am an 18/20 with a large tummy! Also got on well with Dorothy |Perkins jeans.

I look better in straight leg jeans. Gradually realised what I should have known all along - fat legs in skinny jeans - yeuch! Like sausages bursting their casing!!!
