What jeans or trousers?

Hi, looking for some help with what styles to wear. I've fallen into a real skinny jean rut and they are simply not flattering on my short and chunky legs. I'm a size 12 which is heavy for my frame so not looking for a miracle but just some advice on styles to try that light look a bit less awful than what I'm currently wearing! Any help appreciated.

M&S Sienna jeans are cheap as chips and a nice straight cut that looks good with ankle boots. For starters. I tried 3 pairs of straight jeans from there and the cheapest won.

Have a look for some straight leg jeans. I'm really enjoying mine, having been a dedicated skinny jeans wearer for many years!

This blog has got some good high st recommendations www.wearsmymoney.com/shopping/just-straight-leg-jeans-a-nice-top/ I'm also absolutely in love with my vintage Levi 501s and I think/hope they look alright on my size 12 self!

Brilliant, thanks! I'm so much in a rut that straight leg never even entered my head but I'm definitely going to try them.
