5’2 ish Size 8/10 ish. What are your fave jeans?

I’m losing the will to live trying to find jeans that are flattering, comfortable and somewhat fashionable. I have a few casual events coming up and desperately need to find some asap.

Levis fit me quite well around the bum/waist but the ones I have (wedgie straight) are too thick outside of winter and go baggy at the knees.

I want them to be a lighter wash, soft and relaxed, not too rigid, and zero knee bag! Would consider any straightish or slightly relaxed style. Want to avoid looking like I’m trying to copy the teen girls with their baggy jeans.

Help!!

I've had success with Fatface recently. Carmen straight and Elise wide leg - I buy the short length and they fit fine (I'm 5ft 2)

I'm the same size as you and this week i got some Levis that are my new favourites. They are straight, boyfriend fit. I got them first from Next but they were £95 , then found the exact same on amazon for £57!

Abercrombie for me! Absolutely perfect fit leg and body in a few styles

I'm an inch taller, but with short legs
Fat Face sway slim are perfect for me, and good quality.

Have tried a&f but must have chosen wrong with style and wash - just didn’t like at all. Do you have a style you recommend?

Hopefully that link works. They've changed price but different options available and still cheaper than normal!
(For some reason it's says mens in the top description but they're def not.)
