Jeans help please

[bendmeoverbackwards]

I've ordered so many and sent back, hope someone can help me!

I want some non-skinny jeans. I want them slightly cropped so I can wear with a variety of footwear including ankle boots.

I have very slim legs and a lot of the looser styles around now just look silly on me. So I suppose I want them quite fitted on the thigh then either a bootcut or slim flare. I've tried loads of this description but they come up too long and I have loads of fabric round my ankles!

I am a size 12 and 5'3" tall.

Thanks.

Can you not shorten a too long pair that fits elsewhere? I have to do this all the time, had 4 inches taken off a pair recently and even then they are hitting the floor.

I'm same height, and have sent back so many wide leg jeans trying to find something different, I did buy a straight leg jean from m&s which is OK but I really would like a wide leg, but they just don't seem to suit me.

Not really because I want the flare/bootcut bit at the right place.

M&S cigarette jeans are amazing

I bought these last week but had to send them back as the top button on the button fly was SO STIFF! I tried them on twice and the first time couldn't get them done up at all. Second time I was determined to, but bloody hell, my thumb was agony trying to force the button through the hole.

The shape of the jeans is OK, but there was quite a lot of fabric in the thigh and I think I prefer the Hush ones. (Too expensive to buy new but there are a lot on eBay)

M & S Lily slim fit

I’ve recently returned to Pepe Jeans, they have different lengths and lots of styles. Very comfortable too.

I've tried a few M&S pairs but even the short length is too long on me!

These are M&S, they’re a good shape on me but not cropped ☹️

@BreakfastClub80 there’s a blast from the past! Remember the key rings?

I swear by the new look waist enhance mom jeans - not too tight, not too baggy, hit at the right place on the leg. I think they do a petite range if you wanted them shorter. www.newlook.com/uk/womens/clothing/jeans/blue-mid-wash-waist-enhance-tori-mom-jeans/p/693115840

These are the petite ones www.newlook.com/uk/womens/clothing/jeans/petite-blue-mid-wash-waist-enhance-tori-mom-jeans/p/672979745 I think ASOS also stock if they don't have your size

M & S. I've done the rounds of everywhere and nothing else fits right .. They're v comfortable and don't cut into my mid tum

I find ordering jeans online a waste of time. You need to go to a large M and S and try some on. They have really upped their game with a huge choice of styles and fit.

@bendmeoverbackwards 👋
Those jeans look good ok you and are probably some of the nicest I've seen you try. That shape and fit really suits your figure.

They look bootcut though? In M&S try the Harper jeans, you can roll them up a little at the bottom. Or Levi's straight leg crop would be perfect for you as well and they come in different lengths.

@bendmeoverbackwards yes! And I’m kicking myself now as I had a great baseball jacket back in the day…..

@EllaPaella I've got the Harper ! Love them .

I tried the Harper, but there was to much fabric at the top of the thighs .

I'm size 14 and almost 6 foot so no loose fabric here !

Have you tried Lands End jeans? They used to hem them to your own measurement for free but they may charge now.
