I am quite short and although not really overweight my thighs are chunky. Can you recommend a style of jeans I should try?
A bootleg style trouser is a good place to start. Bootlegs flare slightly at the knee, so help balance the appearance of your thighs.
I've also hada number of women convert from bootlegs to the straight style. This gives a slimmer look overall and they look hot.
My advice would be to try a number of different brands in different styles. Take someone along for a second opinion. A good place to go is a jeans specialist such as Just Jeans, Jeans West or an independent store. A great brand for women is "Not My Daughter's Jeans" - designed by real women with lumps, bumps and curves. Their jeans are ultra comfortable and, as I say, accommodate real women. Their jeans are expensive but I believe it's worth investing in a flattering and comfortable pair of jeans that you can thrash and look and feel great in.
Darker jeans will also help to give you a slimmer look - dark blue or black. Wearing a heel with your jeans certainly helps to elongate the appearance of the leg. It doesn't have to be a high heel.
