Best Maternity Skinny Jeans!

[sarahseager]

I'm finally going shopping on Saturday determined to get some maternity jeans at last - I have been holding off as long as possible and managing with a hair bobble looped through my jeans! :o)

I just wanted to get some opinions on the best maternity jeans out there, particularly skinny ones, in terms of quality and value. I know a lot of them tend to be quite expensive and I don't really know where to start in terms of which brand is best so if you could let me know your opinions it would be much appreciated.

Thanks x

I haven't a clue I'm afraid. I just wanted to let you know how green with envy I am that you're even comtemplating skinny jeans!! I'm 35 weeks, and whopping. The only skinny thing about me is my little toe!

Good luck though [said through only mildly gritted teeth (grin)]

H&M- mine were around £30 I think...

Still fitting in them at 37 wks, by the skin of my teeth...

Don't you start Leila!!!!!!!! Not fair!!!!!

Second the h&m ones! I got mine in the sale, were only 15 quid! They have lasted brilliantly and it's only past week or so I've found them a bit tight! In fact all my h&m bits have lasted well and were great value!

Sorry wobblyweeble82...- I did say 'by the skin of my teeth' though??!!

They are particulary stretchy...

TBH I probably look like a bloated banana in them, BUT i am not giving in!

Thanks guys, I am just over 17 weeks so am hopeful that these will last me a while - hmmm! :)

I do like the look of the h&m ones and all their maternity stuff seems really good value compared to other high street shops.

I got mine from Top Shop - they are great!

H&M maternity stuff IS fab, Sarah. I find it to the only thing that doesn't make me feel, well, mumsy IYSWIM. And I suppose, at 17 weeks, you're ALLOWED skinny jeans

And I'm totalling digging the bloated banana look Leila. I, personally, am favouring the chequered watermelon look today. Although my legs are the exact shape and texture of mishapen carrots. It's a winning combo...

I personally LOVE the chequered watermelon look- I think I was sporting this look yesterday with a pair of Primark leggins..!!

Oh well now you're just showing off Leila. My legging's are from Sainsbury's. And they have a bleach splash on the back of them. But I like how you've embraced the chequered watermelon look. And am delighted you haven't bastardised with your soddin' skinny jeans.

it

No. the skinny jeans only come out on brave days....days when I'm brave enough to flaunt my bloated banana look.

Sorry sarahseager, just realised that we have somehow taken over your thread with 'heavily pregnant' natter...! Please ignore..

Ha ha no worries! I'm totally going to be a banana or watermelon by the time I get there! :)

Yep, apologies Sarah

I've been wearing the Baxter skinnies from Topshop and think that they're rubbish. They're under the bump jeans and I spend my whole life hoicking them up - they fall down all the time and look rubbish round the bum.

I've only got a couple of weeks to go now, otherwise I'd seriously be looking for another pair or considering buying the Topshop jeans again in a smaller size than usual...

starshaped your right about baxter topshop ones, fit around bump is ok but they are way too loose on the leg. i am 34 wks and sil wearing pre-preg jeans just with a hairband around the button and button hole for more give!!

I've had a dark blue pair from Gap that have seen me through - 38 weeks now and still able to get in them (I have expanded EVERYWHERE). As with all Gap jeans, they will stretch...but TBH, I just washed them more when I first got them. And now I just appreciate the give. Oh, and I did buy them in a size smaller than my non-pg size. Which sounds showy-offy, but it's because of the stretch factor. Not because I am some super slim-Jim.

Got some others from Topshop that have been OK. But they aren't cotton (not sure what they're made of) and things get a bit, ahem, sweaty quite quickly.

Not skinny ones...but I bought some Seven For All Mankind black wideleg jeans early on in my pg. In fairness, I got them from a dress exchange shop for £45, but they're flipping amazing. If you can afford it, I'd consider investing in a decent pair of jeans. As time goes on, you'll appreciate having something that is a) comfortable and b) flattering.

I second milla about Gap. I have some dark skinny ones and they're so comfortable. Theydont fall down and have a good bit of stretch. They were £35 but I wear them like every other day so well worth it. I tried on topshop ones and thought they were horrible but mostly because they seemed so damn tiny!

I got some from debenhams, i thought the price was v good (im thinking about 20 quid but cant remember exactly), happy with the quality so far

A third vote for the gap blue skinnies. They are generously sized so if you want super skinny try a size smaller. Mine are fitting me nicely still at 35 weeks, and fall down a little bit but not too much that they look awful.

Topshop Leigh.......I may never go back to the normal sort, they are so incredibly comfy!

Seraphine are brilliant IMO. I have bootcut, skinny and some jeggings

Topshop Baxter are my favourites. Comfy, stay up and good after the baby is born. Have bought a pair both pregnancies. They sell for good money 2nd hand on Ebay too.
