Jeans for lumpy tummy/hips and slim legs?

I mostly wear jeans tucked into boots in winter but am finding low-rise skinny jeans just fall down - no doubt because I'm just too ample around the muffin-top area.

I'm having to resort to leggings with long tops/dresses for the time being.

Anyone found anything that works?

m baxter jeans are rather generous around the waist and also the martha ones actually grow quite alot around the waist after the first wear! (a friend of mine had to stitch some darts in!) maybe go to topshop and try them - I am slim of leg and muffiny and find that topshop jeans are great for this.

Watching this post as I have the exact same problem!

I am currently wearing H&M boyfriend jeans, but I do have the Topshop Martha jeans and they are better than most.

Did you see the thread a few weeks ago about the M&S jeans that fit like Topshop Martha jeans? I bought them - at £19.50 I thought I'd take a chance and I'm very happy with them. They fit quite high, just a centimetre or so under the belly button, and they are not too tight fitting on the leg, yet tight enough to fit into jeans. Best of all, I can lean over on the floor to change baby's nappy without muffin top or bum cleavage .Here

Thanks all that's really helpful. I do find if they loosen off too much round the waist that exacerbates the falling down problem, but if they're higher-rise than usual this may be the solution I guess - will try the ones you mention.

It sounds like we have a similar shape. I'm confident you'll like them !!

Had a look at those M&S ones and think I might get some.

Wouldn't normally shop there for clothes, but they are so reasonable.

I have just bought a pair of slim fit jeans from French Connection (never ever bought jeans from there before). I have real trouble with jeans, baggy arse, fit round the waist or gape at the back and tight round the legs, the list is endless.

I went in said what I would like and hey presto she said these just might be what you are looking for and they are a bloody perfect fit. Cost me £70 and I have never spent that on a pair of jeans before but when I get paid again, I am going to treat myself to another pair. Money well spent imo.

Yep I think I'll try the M&S ones too - great price.

Will also look at topshop and french connection. Many thanks.
