i have posted in style and beauty with no response so hoping some lovely ladies here may be able to help!

Hi everyone,
Looking for some advice on jeans/trousers!

I’m 5’3 and recently have put on a lot of weight due to a lot of personal issues. Currently around 13 stone and probably a size 14/16.

My aim is to get down to 10 stone and back into size 12 but obviously that will take some amount of time.

At the moment I have exactly 0 pairs of jeans or trousers that fit. As my goal is to try and lose weight I don’t want to invest in loads, but I need at least one pair to wear in the meantime.

I’m looking for a recommendation of plus size/curve jeans. I’d ideally like something that hides/doesn’t accentuate the stomach area as this is wear I carry my weight (and I actually hate having a visible pouch!!)

Any brands welcome, preferably budget friendly as I obviously will hopefully not be in them long, but willing to pay more if I won’t feel so awful in them in the meantime!

Yours. They have an elasticated waist to cope with my constantly yo-yoing weight. I dud have time have them taken up but I am short.

M&S magic jeans - I have a c section belly overhang and these are the only jeans which hide it. They come in different cuts too, I have both slim leg and bootcut ones. About £40 a pair so mid range pricewise and they do last well.
