NEXT high waisted jeans.

Anyone got a pair?
I'm fed up of my low waist jeans skidding down my (shapeless flat) backside. I'm a special school TA (allowed to wear jeans as we get pretty grotty) and I'm forever hoiking them up to avoid horrifying the kids with my builder's bum.

I fancy a pair from NEXT but wondered what the fit (boot cut or skinny) is like. I tend to fall between an 8 and 10 in NEXT..8 is currently a bit painful tho!

I've got some and also nearly the same from New Look. They both have the same fit, but the New Look ones were a fair bit cheaper.

I bought them for the same reason as you and I'm fed up of having to wear a naff belt, but they still fall down. It's an improvement as you can't see my bike rack, but I do end up with a baggy crotch - nice!

I have the Next one in bootcut and I love them. They hold everything in and don't move all day. Best jeans I've owned.

I have the next boot cut jeans and they are great.

However, I recently bought the best jeans ever from of all places Asda. They are the bum and tum ones. They have panelling to give a more pert bottom and they are high waisted to hold in the dreaded muffin top. At £18 they are my best buy ever. In fact I have bought two more identical pairs in case they stop selling them.

I've recently bought a pair of Next high waisted (straight leg) and they are great!! So warm, no exposed back or worse when I bend over. I think that it also gives a bit of tummy control. Would say the sizing is a little on the large side, a morale boost!!

I got normal skinny jeans from M&S, all their jeans seem to have a higher rise. Sheer bliss after nearly a decade of hoiking up 'hipsters'.

Infinitely more flattering too. And no more 'muffin welts' on my hips.

Ive got the new look high waisted skinny ones- they are about £20. V confy and they have proper sized belt loops too so you can wear a belt if you want.

Do the Next ones have belt loops now? I've considered them before, but was put off by reviews saying that they loosened up as you wore them. With no belt loops, they were forever being hoiked up.

May go and look at the New Look ones - good tip, up.

I have the Next skinny ones and they are very flattering on the tummy (and yes they do have belt loops). However, after about 4 washes they lose their elasticity and you get baggy knees and bum after an hour of wear. All Next jeans seem to do this lately.

here are the ones from Next in skinny, straight and bootcut.

And they've all got belt loops - hurrah!
