Where to go for jeans?

I have lost some weight and gone from a size 14/16 to a size 12.

I would like to get some new jeans and appreciate I’ll probably need to go shopping in person for them to check the fit, but I’m not really sure where to start.

What is fashionable now? I usually go straight leg, mostly wear my jeans with quite baggy jumpers. But open to options. Which shops are good? I’m 45 if that makes a difference!

Next, new look and M&S

I like wide leg and barrel leg jeans just now. M&S, Uniqlo, Zara, Mint Velvet, Albaray have all been good for me in recent years. I would tend to tuck a jumper in a little at the front, or go with something a little shorter and boxier for those styles.

Thank you both. Wide/barrel leg with a shorter jumper might be quite nice actually now that I can get away with it a bit more. We have a Uniqlo and M&S locally so will look there. Thanks!

I've gone off M&S jeans - I did like them to begin with but they didn't wear well. I prefer Uniqlo if you can get to one.

Wherever they fit your shape best!

Next jeans fit me nicely (12). All other shops sell jeans that gape massively at the back on my body shape!
