Really want some nice straight leg jeans for summer that are somewhat flattering.

Just tried Levis 501s in a 26 waist - they're loose on the waist, tight on the hips and groin and saggy on thighs. Not flattering and a bit disappointing.

Can anyone with a similar body type help? My waist is 26ish inches, hips 38.5, thighs aren't very big - weight is all in my bum. I've got a very short torso (waist is basically rib) and am average height.

Did the Levi’s you bought have stretch in? The cropped 501s that I bought from an outlet have one percent stretch so you could possibly try a size down perhaps?

I'm hourglass and I love Topshop Joni and Jamie jeans at ASOS. They're high waisted and have stretch. I've worn the skinnies for years but then moved to flare/bootleg and their styles are so flattering! Make sure the hem on a flared pair comes over your shoe, don't have them too short.

The only issue is that I've just had a look and they only have bleach, white and coated brown on the site! I prefer indigo and dark blue personally. Bit stressed now as I don't know what I'll do if they stop them...

You could try these ASOS design hourglass high waisted flares which look similar
