AIBU to wish plus size skinny jeans would F off

[Elle80]

I want some new jeans, I'm plus size, all I can find are skinny jeans destined to make my legs look like two turkey drum sticks. Why retailers? Why?!

[FedupofbeingtoldIcantusemyname]

I would just love it if retailers would understand that not all of us are the same size/shape and suit difference things, then produce a variety of stuff rather than just having 10,000 versions of skinnies/jeggings/leggings in all colours of the rainbow but only dark blue or black bootcuts

Some of us like the colours and patterns of the skinnies just can't wear the shape!

[TheDowagerCuntess]

I really don't get why people say, 'hate skinny jeans? Try leggings/jeggings!' They are exactly the same bloody thing just different fabrics!

Exactly what I was thinking!

[EnglishGirlApproximately]

I just bought some 'girlfriend' jeans in Sainsburys which I love, they're nice and stretchy and fitted without being skinny.

[dementedma]

I'll probably be burned alive but I like bootcut and they suit my shape. So there!

[FiveShelties]

I tried on some Harem pants - I would not wear those, even for a bet. I did not think anything could look worse than skinny jeans on me but the Harem trousers definitely did! I am size 12 and love bootcut trousers.

[emwithme]

Depends on how plus size you are, but Asda do some fab bootcut jeans up to (definitely) a 22 (and possibly a 26). They're about £10 per pair and wash really nicely.

[KnitFastDieWarm]

I'm a generously arsed size 16 (now with added post emcs overhang, go me ) and I like straight dark wash jeans. if you are a pear or hourglass they look 'skinny' enough to wear with nice shoes for a night out, they're narrow enough to tuck into boots, and they're forgiving and a bit more laid back than true skinnies. sainsburys do nice ones, as do M&co.

i don't think I've ever met a woman who finds jeans buying easy, regardless of shape or size. it's a minefield!

I bought some lovely jeans in Next a couple of weeks ago after getting sick of jeggings. They are called 'cigarette fit'

www.next.co.uk/g97322s11#960003

They're a relaxed fit / straight leg and are the best jeans i have owned. They're also quite generous around the waist and the advice from people who have already bought them is to buy a size smaller. I went back a couple of days later to get another pair, I liked them so much, but they didn't have my size in. I must go and try again (or order online)

[tigerdriverII]

englishgirl I've got some girlfriend jeans from Sainsburys (white!) and they're fab. Just the right shape of leg and waist.

[PonderingProsecco]

I am small size yet hate skinny jeans with a passion....
Look like been squeezed in a sausage skin [quite short too which maybe part of problem...].

[rallytog1]

Another vote for the cigarette jeans. I bought some on a whim, wore them on Saturday and several people asked me how I'd managed to lose so much weight recently. Have just ordered 2 more pairs!

[YouTheCat]

I can also recommend the girlfriend jeans in Sainsbury's. Lovely, easy fit and plenty of stretch.

[Noodledoodledoo]

All but 2 pairs of my jeans are from Sainsburys - great fit, reasonable price, lots of fits and no skinny in my wardrobes!

I also have a per una pair and some from george - not the best but not bad and also not skinny.

Am with you on the skinny plus size thing. It was all I could find in mat gear last pregnancy, skinny, plus size and under bump seemed to be the norm - all things I wasn't looking for!

[Elle80]

fat skinny jeans? i never realised there was such a thing
araiba bit of a cunty remark dear. If you haven't got anything helpful to contribute to the discussion then move on.

[Taylia]

Yours clothing and curvissa do decent plus size jeans

[Catmuffin]

I like the M&S straight leg jeans from the Collection range. £18. They go up to size 28

[GrinAndTonic]

For those that bought the cigarette jeans from Next did you get the normal ones or the relaxed ones? Also, did you go down a size?

[Thefitfatty]

I buy the skinny ones about 2 or 3 sizes too big and roll them up on the bottoms so they look more like boyfriend jeans.

I really can't wait for this skinny jeans fad to go away.

[FattyNinjaOwl]

I'm another sainsburys fan. I mooch on the sale rails and wait for the 25% off .

[SharonBottsPoundOfGrapes]

Op have you tried Yours? I've linked to some boot cut jeans and trousers for you. I used to be a size 32 and am now 24/26. Yours never lets me down. Also personally I used to wear boot cut exclusively but tried a skinny pair of jeggings when I lost weight. I think they look good on me. Mind you I also wear Uggs which is frowned upon by some mners so what do I know? :o

[SharonBottsPoundOfGrapes]

Oh Elle I was hoping that post would be ignored. Never mind. Araiba that was cunty. 🖕🏼

[SharonBottsPoundOfGrapes]

Skinny jeans and jeggings are NOT the same. I once ripped off a false nail trying to wriggle into a pair of skinny jeans. Had it not been for the rips on the knees I wouldn't have anything to grip onto pulling those torture kecks off. Jeggings just glide up my hide.

[BrianCoxReborn]

I'm 5'11" and a size 19 (bigger than 18 but not quite a 20)

Matalan jeans are great and wash well.

I do own a pair of black Skinny Jeans but they just look like leggings so not quite sure why I bothered buying them.

[Elle80]

Thanks SharonBotts (BTW your screen name is genius - I loved Adrian Mole!) Will definitely have a look on Yours!
