If you are this shape, (skinny bum/thighs/legs, fat tummy) where on Earth do you find jeans that fit you?

What shape are you looking for? I’ve just posted on another thread of my love of Calzedonia for skinny jeans and their palazzo jeans are great too. For bootleg I do go spenny as they’re the only ones I find fit me - either Paige or 7 For All Mankind are my go to and always grab them when they’re on Brandalley as I can’t justify the full price. Straight I found some really good ones from Gap years ago but not sure if they still do them.

Thanks. I'd love a good fitting pair of straight leg jeans.

They sell 7 for all man kind jeans at Tkmaxx, I’ve got a few pairs and they were around £20.

I love m and s harper cigarette jeans

RedLeggedPartridge · 18/10/2025 20:43

M&S

Bootleg/flares, balance is everything!
I don't want to own a pair of skinny jeans ever again!

M and S have fantastically tight waistbands I find and I have a small waist.
I did see a pair of elasticated waist drawstring jeans in there but they were wide leg.

Im exactly the same shape and have one pair of jeans that look semi decent, I would love to buy some more!
They are George mum jeans from vinted as I literally have exhausted most high street shops now.
I can't have jeans with ANY stretch as they just exaggerate my tummy and make my legs look skinny and out of proportion.
I have found a heavier jeans material works best with no stretch and darker colours.
Funnily enough my sons Dickies work jeans look and fit quite well but they are too scruffy really.
The search goes on!

I'm 100% an apple. I have a huge tummy, and most pants that fit me comfortably round the waist are saggy around my thighs and legs!
I have recently found Asda George "wonderfit" jeans. They are really stretchy and so fit well around the tummy, are fairly high waisted and don't seem to sag too much around the bum / thighs. I now have another pair and have sized up, and these are so comfy and still don't sag! Very happy and would highly recommend. I'll see if I can find a link.
Otherwise I just end up wearing leggings!
The other place I'd like to try is Halara. Apparently they have some really nice stretchy waist trousers on there and I have heard they are good quality too.

Matalan sell what I call pie eaters jeans. Wide on the waist and very skinny in the leg

Rainbowstrike · 20/10/2025 01:54

I’m an apple shape too, I just bought some bootleg ones from Halara (online)
they are great, no buttons or zips just stretchy waistband, and I bought some nice black work trousers from there too

naturenaturenature · 20/10/2025 22:09

I'm exactly the same shape. I always wear wide leg jeans as they fall from the hip so hiding the skinniness of my legs! I then wear a fitted top. I like plain, dark M&S wide leg jeans and I think I look in proportion!

ShinyAppleDreamingOfTheSea · 21/10/2025 20:09

Agree with Halara - but be careful how you launder them.
