Can I justify £75 on French connection jeans?

They're so lovely and fit beautifully
I want them for a naice smart casual look for the airport

Don't need them, lots of other things to pay for, but I last bought an item of clothing in January and was just a £30 denim dungaree dress

Agonising over this purchase

I do have some naice river island jeans for 'best' but these are lovelier Smile

You'll get so much wear out of jeans that I say do it too.

If they are a really good cut on you and you like them then buy them. But don't leave them in the wardrobe "for best" like I do with anything expensive I buy

I don't normally spend much on clothes but jeans are definitely worth spending a bit more for a decent pair! Do it do it do itGrin bad influence

If you ever find a pair of jeans that fit beautifully you are mad not to. It's the holy grail.

Buy, as long as you will wear them and they won't cause debt issues.

I have an old pair of bootcut ones and skinny stretch ones now, totally worth the price tag IMO. Amazing fit and bootcut ones are still going strong from 10+ years ago.

Have you looked on eBay? People often buy things then change their mind and flog them on for a fraction of the price.

Helps if you have the style name/number.

I haven't been the right shape for FC jeans for years but I loved being a size 10 and 12 and wearing their cords. They made me look so tall and curvy! I realise this doesn't help with your decision but I LOVED those things.

Yes, well fitting jeans are not to be overlooked. You'll regret it if you don't and spend years of your life looking for them on eBay when they are discontinued.

I only wear those jeans as I look fat in all others. They wash well. Buy me tight, they slacken off.

I bought some last May. Still good as new. M and s £22 ones are fit for bin and bought at same time
