The quest for the right jeans

My office has been on a "casual attire" dress code this week and all of next week.  For me, this is more difficult than the regular dress code.  Why?  Well, most of my casual clothes are not appropriate for the office (re: SHORTS).  So, I've found myself dusting off my jeans collection for work attire, and trust me, it hasn't been pretty.  I haven't worn a pair of pants since March and I've become more critical of my overall look.

Today I made a decision.... I no longer like boot cut jeans.  They look terrible on me.  I think it's one of those epiphanies that takes place after you review some of those "what are your body type" quizzes.  Naturally, I have large thighs.  I always have.  So when I wear boot cut jeans, it emphasizes my thighs, makes my knees look really skinny, and then balloon out again at the ankle.  How is this attractive????

So this weekend I will be reviewing my jean collection and determining what will stay and what will go.  Then, I will begin my search for better jeans.  Right now, I'm thinking that I will be sticking to trouser cut (because they are so awesome) and straight leg/skinny jeans.

What style of jeans do you like best?
