Barrel leg jeans for an apple?

[TroublesomeTownHouse]

I really want some dark denim barrel leg jeans (possibly cropped) but it's proving really difficult.

I find they are either too big or too tight on the waist. Super-high waist doesn't seem to work for me.

Is it my apple shape? Do I just need to give up?

Yes I reckon it is our apple shape, sadly. To get them to fit on the waist the proportions are all wrong.

I have this problem and I swear by the next tapered leg jeans.

I bought a pair in each colour, the waist is elastic and super high and the legs are a balloon sort of shape so fit well.

Buying jeans if you are an apple is a nightmare, I have size 10 legs and a size 16 stomach :-(

Not quite barrel legged but the m&s mom jeans suit me and a friend and we're both size 14/16 apple shapes

Thanks @Wagsandclaws and @Gillybobs I'll give those a try.
