Jeans help!

I’m stuck in my trusty Topshop Jamie skinny jeans because I honestly can’t find anything else that fits/looks good, but I’d like to branch out and find a mom/straight/slim jean I can wear with trainers. Have tried Topshop straight and New Look Joni, but they don’t quite cut it. I’m usually a 10-12, wear a 30/30 in Topshop jeans and they fit me from not long after having a baby to -10kg ish! I’m not tall so anything loose kind of drowns and shortens me. Please help!

I’m pretty much the same size as you and I really like Levi 314 jeans.

I find slim straight a good in between if you're struggling to get out of skinnies (but want to try other things). I like the H&M slim straight high waist, stradivarious or wven Primark slim straight, I have a pair and love them (size up).

I stopped wearing my go to skinny jeans about 4 years ago and haven't looked back. I just think it feels weird at first and you get over seeing yourself in a different silhouette once you push through. Now I either wear straight leg or wide leg and love them - really comfortable and go so much better and feel much more current with whatever I put on my top half.

I tried on a pair of skinny jeans recently and felt almost ridiculous in them, which I think goes to show that a lot of it's psychological. I'm sure objectively they looked totally fine.
