I have lost 17 kilos and want to ditch the leggings and wear jeans.

At five foot 1 and still size 16, there is some way to go in terms of weight loss, but I want to dress the slimmer me and get some nice jeans. My legs are in the words of my old flatmate “the shortest legs I have ever seen”.

Where do people recommend? I have an applish/barrel shaped middle and wish to wear something soft and flattering and fashionable.

My legs are in the words of my old flatmate “the shortest legs I have ever seen”. I can see why you no longer flatshare with them.

What inside leg measurement are you after?
I'd try M&S or Next.

M&S they have loads of choices of styles.

I'm 5'1 and have good success with next or M&S short length.

Perfect Jeans are by far the nicest and most comfortable jeans I’ve ever worn. They are really good quality, with just the right amount of stretch for me.

Definitely M&S - from another short arse 5’1” midget! They definitely have the best range, followed by Next

Also 5’1 and I like the bootcut and wide leg from m&s. Also just bought the tapered jeans from nobody’s child in leopard print and a dark grey, they’re not cheap but they look great.
