Too big for jeans. Alternative?

I'm size 18 with big tummy. I gave up wearing jeans when I started gaining weight a few years back. I wear a lot of dresses which are very comfortable but I miss jeans.

I’m plus size and live in jeans. Simply Be are good, as mentioned before. ASOS Curve I’ve also found decent. Lots of stretch and good sizing.

Don’t think too much about what you ‘should’ wear. Sometimes it’s surprising what will flatter you. For example, I always thought mom jeans would be awful on me as I have a round stomach. But oddly enough, the high waist tends to pull me in nicely! I also avoided jeggings as I hated my chunky legs, but then I found a decent thick pair from Asda that had quite a smoothing effect. Online shopping is definitely better as you can try on with different belts and tops and take your time to see what works.
