Black jeans for the massive of thigh

[Blastandbollocks]

I need black jeans for work. Cheap, basic jeans as I work in an SEN school so no fancy detailing, but black trousers (my usual go to) aren't working in terms of protection and movement.

I'm a size 16 (although I'm not precious about it, I work to what fits, not what's on the label!) and I'm short - petite leg length. However, I'm massive thighed and I cannot find anything in supermarkets - boot cut makes me look like a clown, skinny doesn't make it past my knees and straight seem to adhere to my legs and I look like sausages.

Help! I don't want to pay massive amounts, but happy to go up to £35-40 for decent quality.

Asda do wonder fit, super stretch jeans, they are so comfy, £20 only unless you are looking for a brand.

I wear these to work and am also generous of thigh. They're very good.

No, couldn't care less about brands, but I find that stretch jeans are clingy and that's what is giving me the sausage look. It's not flattering.

I have an older pair which are straight legged, with a bit of something to give them softness but which aren't stretchy?

I've found that "girlfriend" or even "mom" fit well on the thighs.

H&M do a black "mom" that works and as they are cut to be ankle length they are the right length on my short legs.

Quite high waisted though if that is a problem?

Sorry can't link but it's "slim mom high jeans" I'd say they come up reasonably small.

I've just bought Lily slim jeans from M&S at £19.50 and they are generously proportioned but not baggy. I have the indigo ones so not sure if black will be the same.

Topshop Jamie jeans are my go to

Next lift slim and shape £45 , the black colour doesn’t fade either after a few washes, so worth the money.

Lucy and Yak Camden or Addisons in black? I know they are more known for their brightly patterned dungarees, but their trousers are cut for those with proportionally larger hips/thighs so are great.

Okay, so Topshop and Next didn't work. Lucy and Yak weren't my thing as too wide.

Any other ideas? I'm grasping at straws! And needing to lose weight but that's another story!

Minimum 1% elastane, mid or high rise, mum or boyfriend or straight style. Don't discount dyeing them black. Also not sure if allowed but dark denim is very flattering. M&S have a good range?

ASOS relaxed Mom jeans. Much bigger on the thighs than their slim Mom jeans! I have a petite pair that are the perfect length (I’m 5’2”).

Did you try the M&S Lily jeans ?

I second M&S, they have literally every style and cut, you will find something there!

M&S straight - l have several different cuts depending on what is available when I need a pair - take my thighs, although they are snug fitting until my knees!
Siena wore through quite quickly, but I gave another pair, also starting with an S I think, and a slimming fit pair that all work.

New Look ‘ballon jeans’ are great. They are non-stretch and much better than their 3x the price Levi equivalents
