Help I need some jeans that fit my 18/20 figure

I have just spent an age in M and S looking for jeans to fit my size 18/20 shape with big tummy, high waist and short legs. Nothing is right or even fits. Help where can I find some flared jeans?

You should check Next . They do jeans for a voluptuous figure.

I just got these from Amazon- £17. I’m a size 18. I like them!

Tu (Sainsbury’s) have nice jeans for all sizes. Cheap, and often on sale, so even cheaper!

I am a similarl size to you and after exhausting the high street with no success i bought a pair from Yours online. They have an elastcated waist, they are so comfy a d they fit over my ankle/foot orthotics which was my main problem. I did have to get them taken up a little but I am only 5'2 and it was worth it for jeans that fit.

Snag jeans.

M&S Sienna jeans come in a variety of lengths and are higher waisted.

I’d almost given up on jeans, I just don’t have the body shape that they suit (tum and bum with waist dip), and the stiff fabric from Levi’s etc. makes it uncomfortable to walk in them. I refuse to wear elasticated jeggings.

I have one pair of Sienna (5% elastane?) dark wash and yellow stitching for those rare occasions where jeans are useful.

Snag jeans.

Snag do jeans?!

I LOVE their tights so this is exciting news for me.

What height are you? Dunnes stores do a barrel Jean and they are very flattering on my tummy though they are too short on the leg of my taller friends.

I’m a similar size to you and I get mine from Yours. I like their pull on style ones - they have a few. I can’t tolerate a proper waistband anymore.

Marks and Spencers have recently changed their sizing, I now need to size up. By high waist do you mean your waist falls closer to your boobs, if that is the case a mid rise jean will fit better. The waist band on high rise jeans will not be comfortable. Next jeans are pretty good

I never thought I would say this but Next jeans are actually really good. I have just ordered two pairs from Crew (both too small), two from Joules (both too small) even though I have many pairs that fit perfectly from both brands and I have actually lost weight. I ordered 3 pairs from Mandys Heaven, again all too small. I eventually sized up and went to next and got the high waisted skinny ones and they are perfect. They do all different leg lengths and different styles.

Marks & Spencer Eva Jeans are for pear shapes. They fit me really well.

Also look at Halara, they are stretchy and comfortable.

I was also coming on to say the Eva jeans from m&s.

Yes my waist is nearer my boobs. Earlier in the year I got some slim flare from TU. They are perfect, I got some on Saturday and they are too small! I compared them and they are a completely different size on the waist!
