Weight game and body changes have me a size 12 -14 and pear shaped. I used to be much smaller and don’t care I’m a bit overweight for my height (I like my comfort chocolate too much due to too much life stress and I’m fine with that).
however, all jeans look awful on me and Cling
to my generous bum and thighs 🤦‍♀️can’t afford pricy brands. My
old go to mom jeans when I was 8-10 look awful on me now. I need something not too tight or it accentuates my thighs. I live in yoga pants just now but need soem
form of jeans to see me through festive season. Please send style help.

Have you tried Saint and Sofia apartment pants? They're really comfortable and look great on pear shapes.

Not jeans though. I really struggle with jeans these days.

Oh these are sooooooo gorgeous!

I'm a similar size to you and ordered the M&S carrot leg jeans £39.50
in the darker blue.
They look odd in the photo but IRL are a great fit, have a high waist so no muffin top and are loose on the legs. They are so much nicer than wearing clingy skinny jeans.

Oh super thanks! Will order some
as they sound a great style. I’ve seen them in store and really like them but didn’t think they’d look nice on me and I couldn’t face the hot changing room 😂

Like these but worry my large thighs won’t look nice in these!
