Jeans for thicker thighs

[Songbird54321]

I am generally a size 12 and 5’8, although my waist can sometimes be a 10. I have quite wide hips and thicker thighs though, probably more suited to a size 14 to be properly comfortable. I’ve all but given up on jeans and have resorted to leggings and comfy wide leg trousers. I used to wear skinny or mom jeans pre second baby but she’s 2 now and I’ve still not managed to shift the baby weight and these styles just don’t sit right on me, skinny make my legs looks even fatter and mom jeans are either too big on the waist and too tight on the thighs.
Anyone with any suggestions other than doing what I know I need to do and stop eating so much!!

I also don't wear skinnies anymore because thick thighs and weight gain... I now prefer straight leg (which ultimately fits like slim), kick flare or sometimes balloon (I know everyone hates it but it works for me!)

I have seen a lot of love for Abercrombie “curve love” jeans on TikTok lately - they have something like 2” of extra space at the thighs and bum. Might be worth a look?

I like next for jeans. I go for the straight leg high waist

However they have loads of styles and so take loads into the changing room and see what fits and you feel comfortable in

Thanks everyone, looks like I need to test out some straight leg jeans!
I have seen the abercrombie ones online but they've never got my size in stock, I do like them though

Abercrombie jeans are lovely I'm not blessed in the hip/bum area so can't comment on how good the curve love range is but i do love the ultra high rise 90s slim and straight leg. ASOS sell the curve love range but don't have a huge selection.

I’m about the same height as you OP and I have thick thighs, though relatively narrow hips. I find bootcut, wide leg and the balloon / horseshoe shapes most flattering. If I need to size up so they look right on the thighs I just take them in at the waist.

I got some American eagle curve jeans on vinted and they are great for thick thighs and small waist.

They have more room in hip and thigh

I'm a 12, 5ft 6 with thicker legs (very short legs compared to body). My last pair I got an indigo bootcut pair from Mint Velvet. (They look more like a full flare than a bootcut.) Fit high waisted and snug (I have 10ish waist) and not too tight on the legs. Not sure if they still stock them. I generally like their jeans as I can get a short but also find the fit works for me on the whole.

I'd recommend FatFace jeans - currently wearing their Fly Flare ones & lots of room in the thigh - more like wide leg on me.

Adalae jeans from New Look?

Levis 725 high rise bootcut

I'm similarly shaped to you I think. Tried to force myself into skinnies for years which was miserable - up one or two sizes, legs too tight and waistband flapping - and now wear barrel leg from Joules or boyfriend/mom jeans from M&S. I'm not 100% sure the barrel leg ones are flattering on me tbh, but they're so comfortable I don't care and I don't have to size up for any of them which makes me happy. I much prefer cropped styles as well as my legs are short. Happy to let wide legs pass me by as I look like a shire horse in them.
It's brilliant that at least there's a wide choice of cuts to choose from these days.
