I’m trying to buy jeans at the moment and it’s a nightmare. As a five foot one, curvy (but not overweight) woman in her 40’s with short legs nothing else looks as good on me. Most other styles simply are unflattering or look wrong somehow.
I started of off trying straight jeans but they were baggy and my butt looked weird. Then I tried slim fit but they sort of look like slim jeans gone wrong. It’s a bit depressing because after recently losing (I’m now healthy BMI) I’ve been able to buy lots of clothes that look amazing and have been getting loads of compliments on my new look and wardrobe. Jeans have defeated me however.
On a related topic, I’m heading to the UK next week from Australia (hence the shopping spree) and after trying on my dark blue skinnies I realised they are super flattering on me. Much more flattering than any other jeans I’ve tried on recently. Would they look out of place in London with boots and a blazer for gong out in the evening? After losing weight they’re still skinny but not skintight. It’s so hard packing for 6 degree weather when it’s over 30 degrees 😁
