Petite skinny jeans help please!!

I normally wear next skinny Jeans in the lift, shape range. Needed to buy some new ones and they aren’t skinny round the ankles anymore! Tried the waist enhancer ones and they aren’t much better. They are quite uncomfortable. They are skinny but feel baggy?

I need a pair that are actual jeans that hold their shape and don’t sag at the knees?? I live in skinny jeans! Can anyone help!?

DD wears M&S petite skinny. She stockpiles them in case they stop wearing them.

They are also a magic fit/lift shape style. Cost about £25 iirc.

Haven’t shopped in top shop for years as I think it’s ME that’s too old Grin can’t win! What are they like then @EdithHope ?

I like the waist of the next lift, slim and shape, slightly higher than average but not ‘high’ waisted. They are the perfect length on me too and don’t sag at all and are tight all the way down!

How petite are you? My daughter is 5"1 and a tiny size 6, she has just bought four pairs in different styles from ASOS and they all fit perfectly.

I’m 5’2. Once lockdown is lifted I’ll be happy to order loads of new ones and can try them and send them back. At the moment I am a SP with kids on the vulnerable list so can’t go returning lots of parcels just now!

Top shop ones are currently on sale/::

I'm petite. Had success with Gap and M&S. Not tried ASOS petite jeans but other petite stuff from them has been ok so would give them a go.

The M&S ones they do in loads of colourways too not just denim.

I love the M&S petite skinnies.

Iv never got on with any style of gap, always end up with it gaping at the back and just don’t suit me.

I’ll have a look at the others, thanks.

I always buy Boden petite skinny jeans. Hold their shape, wash and wear well. 20% off with F9G6. They are expensive but I'm still wearing Boden trousers that are over 12 years old.

Hmm I don’t own anything by Boden as it isn’t my style but skinnies are skinnies! Thanks will check those out too.

Tesco have some skinny lift and shape jeans in at the moment. I had a quick look at them the other day when I was in food shopping and (I’m looking for a non skinny jean version just now). I didn’t look specifically but I know the majority of their jeans come in short, regular and long length so might help if you need petite. Only drawback is they no longer sell clothes online so you would need to visit an actual Tesco store that has a clothing department.

I've had several pairs of Topshop Jamie jeans, they're high rise and retain a good fit, no baggy knees IMHO. They have Leigh ones which also look lovely but supposedly low rise (though they look quite high on the model to me!)

I've recently discovered matalan petite jeans and they are really cheap and actually tight around my ankles, genuinely petite too xx

I've not tried them yet, but I recently found out H&m do a petite range (mostly jeans/trousers). Can't wait to give them a go!

J Crew petite toothpick jeans are amazing! They have magic pockets to smooth you out, keep there shape and are made for petite sizes. Whenever I wear mine someone always says ‘ I like your jeans’!

I get my jeans from New Look and Primark. I'm just over 5ft and wear 30 inch inside leg but New Look does have a petite range aswell.

I agree with the ASOS petite range. I’m 5’1 and an 8/10 (10 now since lock down haha) and I’ve had a fair bit of success with ASOS

I used to have issue with the massive crotch on their jeans but they seem to have changed their pattern

Oh this is helpful. Need to give M&S a go.
Used to live in Dorothy Perkins but something has changed and they fit awlful as discovered when ordered some recently.

Top shop..brought the Joni Jean's in usual size but were baggy. Blue ones however fitted fine.

Same with New look. Find depends on colour but black Jean's either too small or next size up is too small.
