Tops to wear with wide legged jeans when curvy?

I'm a size 16 but hourglass shape. I've just bought some slightly wide legged jeans but I don't think my v neck jumpers would work. Any alternatives? Should I tuck in? How could I style them?

@Bellagi I have fallen in love with wide leg jeans over the past six weeks or so and although I am a different size to you my favourite thing to wear with mine is a busy bow blouse ( often with a thin thermal top underneath in this weather). As the jeans are loader on the bottom half I stick to more form fitting on the top half. I have worn them with a belt too to highlight my waist. Pinterest is a great source of inspiration. I do think if your V neck jumpers are form fitting rather than baggy then they would work with them and you could experiment with tucking them or depending on the length leaving them as they are.

Pussy instead of busy.

@Niftythrifter great post! Thank you. I've tended to be self conscious of my stomach so I've worn looser tops with tighter jeans. So you're saying tuck in with a belt? I'm ashamed to say I've avoided belts due to the muffin look!

@Bellagi I think of the jeans are a good fit you shouldn’t have a muffin top! A belt would highlight your narrowest part of you body which would be your waist. I will do some searching on Pinterest and post some links!

@Bellagi I am conscious of my stomach area and now have just kind of reached a meh stage and accepted that I have not got a flat stomach and that’s that. It’s not always easy but it’s just my body!

Skimming, shorter jumper, I’d say.
