Inexpensive skinny jeans?

16 replies

Does anybody know of a good place to get a pair of cheap skinny jeans for the winter?

I only had DD 3 weeks ago, so my backside will (hopefully) be shrinking over this time, therefore I don't really want to spend more than £10-20 on jeans that will be too big for me next year. I'd like something that won't go baggy round the knees after the first wear, and I prefer a lower cut waistband as my waist is much smaller than my hips and they fit better. Oh, and I'm 5'9", so they need to be reasonably long, although I'll be wearing them with boots.

Can anybody recommend anything? Or any more expensive brands that I can pick up cheap on ebay?

I really like the New Look ones which are around £20, I know they do a short length so I'd imagine they do a long one as well.

I bought a really good black pair from dorothy perkins for £15 and they do a deal 2 pairs for £25 including a blue denim pair. I just wanted a cheap pair for work and theyve washed fine.

Not the cheapest on offer but I just got some from H&M for £20. They have different leg lengths and are a great cut. They also have different waist heights like hipster, high waisted so you would definitely find something to suit you.

M&S do skinny in a dark blue, get the long size obv. They do make your hands blue until you've washed them a few times.

Primark - I bought some post baby, intending to bin them once the weight was gone but ended up getting them in a few other colours in a smaller size as found them quite flattering. IMO look better than Gap skinnies/jeggings and are more comfortable than my J Brands which look great but aren't as comfy for all the bending and crawling around that I do as a Mum. Quite depressing really as Jeans are one thing I don't mind spending loads on as cost per wear is always miniscule!

Marks and Spencer. I'm wearing my £12.50 pair and they are very nice looking plus comfortable. I think I might have to go back and get another pair, because I might not wear anything else this winter!

I have a very nice dark blue pair from Peacocks of all places. £14.
