Skinny jeans alternative - plus size

[quepoe]

I try to dress to flatter my figure rather than follow current trends, but I am just so bored of my skinny jeans, having worn nothing else since I left school! I feel really frumpy in them now, I want to look trendy but found all the alternatives just make me look fatter.

I'm size 14/16 hourglass, my weight is pretty evenly distributed so I find highwaisted cut suits me best. This gave me false hope that mom jeans could work, but they just make my stomach look so much bigger and bum so much flatter than my skinny jeans do. Girlfriend/boyfriend cuts look terrible, the lower rise just doesn't suit me at all.

Has anyone found a solution to non skinny jeans for a non skinny bod?!

There are these ones from Primark called a straight Jean and they are like a hybrid between a mom cut and a skinny.

I'm also a 16 and I love them, really flattering on the tummy and nice and tapered still on the legs. I have about 4 pairs haha

Oh brilliant, thank you so much! I will try and find these!

Do you buy your normal size? I normally try everything on in primark but not sure if the changing rooms are open at the moment

H&M vintage straight high waist are highly recommended as are TopShop editor jeans. When I need a new pair I'm going for one of these

Yeah I always just get my normal size for their jeans
