Which jeans for my body shape

6 replies

Could someone please help me with a jeans intervention as I have an odd body shape.
I have been wearing skinnies for years, but have recently lost some weight, so I was wondering if there's a better style for me. I'm quite tall (5'9") very slim hips but no waistline at all. I'm sort of barrel shaped!
I usually wear my skinnies with long flat boots. I have skinny calves and big feet, so don't often wear trainers as it looks weird.
Any suggestions please?

I’m 5’8 and also quite slim but lacking much of a waist or hips. I have a few pairs of these from Zara (they’re currently a steal in the sale). I love them but they are very cropped so may be too short for you.

I’m v slim, no waist and I bought a pair of Zara slouchy jeans in pic above. I also really like the classic mom jean in Zara too. It’s one of the best fitting in the mom style.
@Miseryisabutterfly they look really fab on you! I’m so used to wearing slim and straight that I’m still getting used to this shape as I keep thinking they look balloon-like when I look down at them.

@Miseryisabutterfly you look amazing!
I should have said I'm 46 and not very stylish, so I don't think I could wear anything as cool as that.

I'm a bit shorter than you and basically waistless! I bought these Hush jeans - not quite as baggy as on the pic, but very flattering. Really nice soft denim too.

Straight jeans are good... river island have currently got a lot of styles. Go try different ones on
