In search of the perfect jeans

[MaisyMoo123]

Hi - I am on a seemingly endless quest to find that perfect pair of jeans. I have bought endless pairs over the years but I have yet to find a pair that have that perfect combination of style, fit and comfort. I'm after a skinny-ish fit and am around a size 10 but I'm tall and need at least a 33inch leg - sometimes a challenge! I've found the M&S 'sculpt and lift' range to be quite good and have also been through all the Next options but I'm looking for a more stylish jeans brand (nothing wrong with M&S of course) that might last a bit longer too. I have around £100 to spend. Any suggestions would be very gratefully received!! Thank you!

Place marking as this is my quest too
I recently bought these and love them www.oasis-stores.com///fcp-product/5611192?gclid=CNzfz7n43skCFdRuGwod2qYGhw but would like some more choice.

Topshop Jamie and Boden's High Rise skinny are both very nice!

I have tried hundreds of types of jeans and have lots of designer brands, but continually go back to Next. Great fit, never bag and very flattering cut.

Interesting thread.

I love skinny but really soft jeans.

I like the fit, look and feel of M&S limited high rise skinnies but they fade easily. Maybe for around £30 you can't expect much more than a year out of them.

Am googling these suggestions!

I am short and fat ! Have bought four pairs this week taken them all back ! 18 too small 20 to big ! Or much too long or baggy or un flattering

I like the Jasper Conran range of sculpted jeans you can buy in Debenhams. They come in different lengths (I am petite) and often they have 20% off.

Well, for me it's MiH, which I only discovered because I had a punt on a £30 pair from TK Maxx. They're amazing. Jeans are an eternal problem for me but these fit and are comfortable and look great. I can't afford any more so I basically treat them like my first-born child.

[MaisyMoo123]

Thanks for sharing ideas. I will look into the suggestions in more detail! The Boden high rise super skinnies might be worth a try as they do longer length. I've tried their jeans before and never found them very comfy - can anyone tell me whether this style have any stretch in them?

One day that perfect pair of jeans will be mine!!

I bought myself a pair of Next slim'n'lift a while ago (I was a bit porky, tried on the 14 and the 12. Bought the 12 and thought "I'll lose weight" )

Well, I have lost weight. I've lost about a stone and a half. (Go Me )

They fit nicely when I put them on then after an hour or so they're bagging round my arse and I could take them off without undoing

Need to buy a belt

I love warehouse jeans. Best fit I have found and not too pricey at around £40. Good quality and wash really well.

I've git the Boden high rise skinnys and find them very comfy and flattering. They do have stretch in them

Lee jeans are great, I'm at the moment living in a pair of jeggings I bought at TK Maxx, they're honestly the most comfortable trousers I ever had, I can kneel and crawl after my toddler and they stay comfy. I also love their Norma (discontinued but can still find them on ebay) and Scarlett jeans, never buy any other brand.

Funnily enough, I was looking at these rubylovesshoes! They only go as long as 32" though - are these the ones that you say are long enough for your 34" legs??

[MaisyMoo123]

Scrap that - they don't come in different lengths at all, but they're long enough? That sounds encouraging!

[GlitteringJasper]

Are those Salsa ones soft?

[MaisyMoo123]

Good question GlitteringJasper! My perfect jeans need to be soft - but not go baggy after an hour of wear!

[JessicaRuby]

Not sure about the length but river island Molly are amazing and really comfy.

[MaisyMoo123]

Thanks Rubylovesshoes - I'm off to HoF to try them on tomorrow, with a heart full of hope! I'll report back!

The best jeans I own are River Island skinnies. I'd never have thought of them til a friend suggested them, and I now live in them. they do longer leg lengths, high and low cut waistbands and don't fade easily. They're not 100% perfect but after years of searching I don't think perfect jeans exist. Just good ones.
