Jeans for a size 8 and 4'11" 55 year old pear shape

Anyone found the holy grail of jeans?

For info, I have a bit of a tummy and my bum is most definitely not in the same place as it was even 25 years ago.

I just can't seem to find anything that suits me at the moment.

Any suggestions would be welcome.

Try barrel- Tu are good, Toast Japanese if you like the higher end of the High Street.

Agree barrel. Or soft and swishy wide legs that aren’t too wide. M&S or Next are good for sheer variety if you wanted to order a selection. Next good because you can buy and return before paying.

Mango Sienna. They are meant to be cropped but me, same height as you, they don’t appear cropped.

I went to M&S yesterday and tried on Boyfriend and Mom and bought them. I also tried on their barrel ones but they looked ridiculous on me.

Thanks for the suggestions everyone. Now, what shoes to wear??
