Which shape jeans?

Fat thighs, biggish arse... disproportionately small waist.

I'd say thighs are at least one size bigger.

Def find skinny and straight leg all wrong. Any suggestions what to try?

Thank you.

Sounds like mom jeans are the perfect fit for you. Some people say 'mom jeans are so unflattering' but like all types of jeans you need to try a few pairs on to find the right ones. Some are baggier around the waist than others and create that illusion of extra bulk.

I've been looking at these two pairs

@Serpenta thank you. I've been looking at those M&S ones too. They've re-opened thief changing rooms so I might try some on.

I haven't used the other websites but they look good too.

God, sorry for that link, I just googled on my phone.

Watching as I am the same shape! Small waist, generous bottom, very ample thighs. Also short legs. Sigh

  • Skinnies give me parsnip legs
  • Boot cut make my legs look hourglass shaped
  • High waisted and wide legged all the way from the hip (palazzo pant style) look good, but only with heels or platforms and I cba with those most days

I’ve been looking at mom jeans or boyfriend/girlfriend jeans but these seem to mean a different shape on each website??

Will check the links thanks

How about barrel leg jeans?

I now own two pairs of these 100% cotton jeans www.asos.com/weekday/weekday-voyage-organic-cotton-straight-leg-jeans-in-light-blue/prd/12966357?ctaRef=my%20orders

My thighs are 21 inch each with a 26 inch waist (years of exercise) and a disproportionately large bum. These jeans for like a dream! Great quality for the price.

^I’m 5’4 but the model is 5’11, so they fit just below the ankle on me.

minipie · 13/06/2021 15:31

countdown they sound good! I’m trying to imagine what they look like on a more developed bum and thighs rather than on the model…

WineGetsMeThroughIt · 13/06/2021 22:05

You sound a similar shape to me. I'm an hourglass and I've got a very small waist and a large bum and thighs. I'm also 5'4

I ordered and tried on 16+ pairs of jeans over a 2 week period ranging in price from £29 - £129 and these £29 were the best fitting out of the bunch.

These! Very flattering on chunky thighs and you can nip in the waist with a belt.
