All my life I've been in-between a size 10 & a 12.
I can either squish my belly into a 10 so they fit hips/bum, or have them just too large overall and look like they're someone elses..

I'm 46 and my gut only is expanding by the day 😥soooo seeking recommendations please for a high-ish waist, stylish, comfortable pair of jeans that can be dressed up or down and preferably have a "waist in inches" sizing option.

I like a tapered or wide leg, can't do skinnys or straight. Don't mind paying over the odds to fit the criteria ..
Or am I asking too much??

Try Levi’s who do sizes based on waist measurements.

Oh I thought they'd stopped, used to get their size 11 work trousers for a while. But I've historically found their jeans sizing to be inconsistent, often with vanity sizing where a "10" is actually a 12 etc.
I'll have a look for an 11 though, thank you.

I am also between a 11 and a 12. I wear M and S Sienna widelegs in 10 which are the best fit I have found. M and S runs large.

sorry I meant I am between a 10 and a 12.

Thank you so much, I've just checked and there's only a sienna straight-leg online but I'll try a store🙏🏽

Levi’s ribcage are a slightly wide leg, I like the cropped ones.

Good American - size down to UK 10 equivalent, they have masses of stretch but retain their shape really well and don’t stretch out and fall down, but are still comfy (even for mid 40s tummy). Got mine at Anthropologie. They do a crop wide leg which is awesome.

I share your problem. I have been a 13 and when I lose weight I become an 11 😂Never an even number! Also a waist-to-seat issue for me.

I have also found m&s size 10 to be on the large side, same with Fatface

I like Howies jeans in size 30 waist as they are cut smaller than most high street.

I also read reviews and when people complain that something I like the look of comes up small I buy it in a 12!

Gap also do jeans with waist sizes rather than numbered sizes.

I wear low-rise straight jeans, so I can't recommend a style for you though.
