What style of jeans style should I should be searching for?
High waist, loose around the hips
Tapered but not short at the ankle
Not wide leg or skinny but somewhere inbetween
Comfy but not frumpy

I’ve got some barrel leg from Whistles which are so comfortable but I feel like a clown in them 🤡

Does this style exist/have a name??

Straight? Though if you want loose at hip you might need to size up. Or Mom jeans.

I thought straight weren’t tapered? Or am I getting straight and bootcut mixed up?

Will look up Mom jeans!

Straight jeans aren't tapered but they're not flappy.

@bluedancingtwiglet I find they're great. Just classic. They work for me but I prefer skinny jeans with boots.

Stovepipe jeans?
