Are wide jeans back? Where are the best ones?

I saw a v stylish woman yesterday wearing wide jeans and I rejoiced. DP (also a woman) says they’ve been back for a while and I just haven’t noticed.

Either way, who is doing the best ones? I’m short with a bit of a bum.

Would love some recommendations.

They’ve been back for quite a few years now?

They’ve been back for at least 7-8 years now. In fact never really left. They’re everywhere.

They've been back for long enough that I think they're almost out now. They've been replaced by barrel jeans, which I personally don't get the appeal of at all.

I love the look but it doesnt love me. I have a few pairs but every time I put them on they are all wrong. A ship in full sail.
I think you have to be willowy and tall to look fabulous in them. Im thin but not tall enough and I have a curvy bum.

Also short with a bum - I recommend the Levi cinch jeans, I've got the barrel ones but they do a wide version too. And yes they've been back for years!

Primark! I’m short and love all their wide leg jeans. My fave pair have stitching down the centre front.

Matalan if you need different leg length ones at an affordable price.

You don't have to be tall and willowy to wear them and look good. You just need a good pair .M and S their more expensive pair.

Halara for me. No pesky buttons or zips!
