Jeans help!

I’ve always worn topshop Jamie jeans, and feel like they no longer fit properly since I had my son. I think my hips are wide but my bum is quite flat and my thighs are proportionally thinner. They keep falling down, but I think I won’t fit into the size below!
Can anyone suggest anywhere to look or any styles? I’m overwhelmed… I have quite short legs so need somewhere that does a range of lengths. I’m open to straight leg, but not sure I can pull off mom jeans or anything like that?

I'd try M&S. Everyone raves about their jeans. Sienna might suit. Loads of sizes and leg length. Also new look tori are popular at the moment. My personal favourite though is Levi 501 still

I was in Primark yesterday and they had hundreds of shapes, sizes and colours of jeans. Also cheap so you can try a style and see how get on with them without having to spend ££££

Asos have loads and you can choose different waist and leg measurements. They have petite ranges too.

Thanks both.
how stiff are Levi 501’s?

I think I tried m&s before but they were too wide on the thigh. Maybe I’ll try again?

Just when you mention the Levi 501's, I was watching a show on C4 recently and they put the Levi brand up against jeans from Tesco or Matalan and they had interesting results:

I like river island, hollister and superdry. Only jeans that actually fit properly.

Levis are a bit stiff but the 100% cotton ones stretch out and mould to your shape. I find they fit me great. You need to buy them quite tight to begin with or they will end up too loose.

Yes to Levi 501's. I've only recently discovered them and now I'm living in them. There is a wide size range and a few different lengths too.

Uniqlo are good and very reasonably priced.

Yes but Levi came up top for attention to detail. I have nothing against the cheaper brands at all but Levi quality for their 100% cotton is excellent and equal to other premium denim I own eg Agolde, COH

I love M&S but I have very chunky thighs so they might not suit you.

I don't think a GAP Jean can be beaten.
