Can't be doing with skinnies anymore, mom jeans do nothing for me, I have some nice flared type but I am thinking maybe straight/tapered leg but can't afford much. I am prob a size 14 sometimes have to get 16 in jeans depending on where from (have size 14 from newlook which is OK but bit tight on tum and 16 which is fine). Have a stomach to hide, some skinny jeans go baggy and need constant pulling up. I have converse, trainers and black tie up 3/4 length flat boots to wear with. Whenever I have tried next jeans I hate them super frumpy. I edge towards plt/asos style but am late forties I want flattering quality not overpriced comfy jeans where do I go? I must try them on. Levis website was useless as mostly doesn't show models wearing them. Should I just go in one of their shops and ask for help or where should I go?

Go to a big M&S and try on everything you can find in your size.

Wear a belt with the skinny jeans. I find most jeans need a belt. Even my best behaved ones sag after a few wears. Wear the skinny jeans tucked into the boots. Converse are not great for looking poised IMO and they're not great for your feet. I still have a couple of pairs

I also recommend M&S, try on many styles and be prepared to try both 14 and 16. Try moving about in them not just standing up so you can gauge how comfortable they are

I haven't seen anyone look good in mom jeans unless they are slender and slight, and even they would probably look better in something else

50 yr old here and in my move away from skinnies I've fallen for M&S Harper jeans. They are fab!
