Recommend me wide leg jeans

I would love to rock a specific look this autumn with a short jacket, wide leg jeans and may be a chunky trainer or white leather pumps. Never had wide leg before, mainly due to being vertically challenged. Pear shaped and short, so need high waisted but not cropped. Looked at M&S but they are out of stock. Thank you.

Boden did a pair. So comfy.

The M&S palazzo which aren't even cheap on vinted.

I have some 'Ultra wide leg' jeans from Sainburys - they are lovely. Really soft denim, and they fit really nicely. I got them in short and they are actually a decent length.
I had a pair from Zara that are like the M&S pallazzo but to be honest I've hardly worn them, being short its difficult finding the right shoes to wear so they don't drag in puddles 90's grunge style.

I bought a stunning pair in Sainsbury's of all places!!

Me too. I got a light wash and a black pair, £14 in the sale.

I wear Boden ones.

I've tried to find some for a while and they looked rubbish on me but finally got some from H&M in washed out grey:-

Actually not sure if they are those as mine have a button fly and frayed ends. 🤔

I have these in short and they're really nice. I'm 5'3

Why are people recommending cropped when the poster has specifically said not cropped?

I recommended a cropped pair which come in two lengths, so depending on your height, they might not be cropped at all! I'm 5ft 4, and the short ones hover just above my ankle, so the regular ones would be pretty much full length...

Because when you're short, cropped is not cropped.

Not sure if these were your link OP. Out of stock now but I got the18 short last week online. Perfect size, you just see the sole of my trainers peeping out. Keep checking for new stock.

I love the look you’ve described, it’s also my winter go to

Oh these are great! Will try them. I love that new look show their clothes on different sized models, really helps in making choices

Swearwolf · 14/09/2024 15:35

I'm also short and I got Levis Superlow. They aren't in fact super low, they come to my bellybutton and look great with a shorter jacket.

I bought these the other week from River Island. I’m an absolute short arse but the shorter length sit perfectly and the high waist is really flattering www.riverisland.com/p/blue-high-waisted-relaxed-straight-fit-jeans-911801

I love RI jeans. I must have at least 20 pairs 🙈 I'm tall so buy the tall ones but they're the only jeans where I know they'll fit perfectly round the waist and length wise.

I used to like topshop, but their mom or wider leg jeans always make my bum look huge (it's not). Just don't find them as flattering.

These are the ones I linked to too. They're really nice and good quality denim. I went down a size as the fit is generous. They still had quite a few in stock in store.

I think River Island denim is great right now. I recently bought these in indigo

Got a cracking pair from Urban Outfitters. they have a variety of choices

LadyLapsang · 15/09/2024 00:02

I have a pair of Frame Le Palazzo, but I feel a bit like I’m going back to the 70s. Memories of joss sticks etc. Also scared of tripping on stairs, I hold them up like a Jane Austen character. The last time I wore them a super stylish young woman came up to me to ask which make and then headed straight over to the Frame counter. I prefer 7 for All Mankind and Paige - not wide leg.

I've got these in the mid blue and I love them. Actually considering buying them in every colour 🙈

@spartanrunnergirl I've just ordered those Hollister ones. I can't stand high rise wide jeans, they just look awful on me. They do all sorts of weird things to my tummy. Not managed to find any mid or low rise so thanks for the link!

I found this too, they seem to make me look bigger than I am. River Island jeans don't seem to do this for some reason though 🤷‍♀️
