Jeans for an apple shaped body that hates wide leg ones

I really need jeans, I have not worn them in years, I live in leggings... I want to go back to jeans and nice tops like I used to wear.

I have had 2 c sections but I also naturally have an apple shape... round belly with thin legs and arms, Its all belly.

So when I buy the jeggings in store (I wanted stretch ones for comfort) the legs are massive and look terrible but the belly fits.

Where should I look, what style should I try, I had to walk out of so many shops today due to overwhelm, tried m&s, matalan, next, new look, H&M.

Have you tried M&S Eva bootcut? I wear those and have a bit of a meno-pouch. The bootcut helps to balance out my bust and tum. What’s your height?

No I have not tried them, that sounds promising thank you! I am 5ft 7

I bet you would look great in them. I wear mine with boots, trainers, and sandals.

M&S Eva or the super soft Harper jeans, which are straight keg with turn ups. Both accommodating of a rounded tum and slimmer thighs.

Hush soft barrel leg jeans.
Not cheap but high elasicated waist, gentle barrel shape and perfect for summer. Look for the word soft as there are similar styles but with rigid waistbands. Extreme apple here, love them. They come up large so I had to reorder a size down.

Next sculpt mid rise. Has to be the mid rise ones because the others are legging style with skinny jean bottoms.
The mid rise are jeggings but have either a straight leg or bootcut bottom and if you are apple shaped you need that to balance you out.
I get mine from vinted at about £5 a pair.
