Please find me nice white skinny jeans or trousers to wear under tunic tops (I'm 5ft2 and pear shaped is the complication!)

The title says it all I think.

Note that although I'm only 5ft2 I do have disproportionately long legs so can fit standard length in most places (I just have a stumpy top half .

Big bum problem a bit of an issue but I'll probably only wear them with long tunic tops.

Uniqlo?

would you consider leggings??

H&M have some jeans and legging I saw today (have been on a 'white bottoms' hunt for dancing show for my girls), plus new look have white trousers and white jeans.

that said, the new look white trousers are the baggy kind so probably not what you are looking for.

Not so sure that white skinny jeans are the answer then....I know that they are all the "rage" for slebs but hard in real life imo
I'd suggest topshop newlook usual suspect..really

Psycho I have leggings but somehow I feel funny wearing them and I really can't explain why. Kind of exposed compared to even skinnies.

Yes they really need to be skinnies as with a tunic baggier jeans or trousers just don't look right on a short-arse like me - all too wide!

I'd definitely say they'd be a no-no for me with a normal top but with a tunic think they'd be fine.

you know, with a tunic I really do think you will be fine with leggings, but I do understand your reluctance.

new look do fab jeans for all types of shapes now, and they are doing white ones, so try them too. I am sure you will find something to suit

Thanks Psycho - will check the NL ones out...

If Top SHop's "Martha" skinnies come in white then I can highly recommend (I only have them in indigo but they are fab).
