Maternity "skinny" jeans

I'm nearly 15 weeks now and my normal jeans aren't doing up a bit tight so on to maternity jeans I go!

I've bought quite a few pairs from Dorothy Perkins, H&M, GAP and Boohoo and all apart from one "Ashley" pair from DP are really baggy on the legs even though I'm buying my normal size (12) and "skinny" styles. I'm fully expecting them to have room around the stomach but I'm not planning on putting the amount of weight needed to fill out the legs in all these jeans.

Has anyone got any they could recommend? I'm not looking for skin tight, but baggy knees is really not flattering...

Mothercare seemed to have nice styles but hardly any in my size available online Envy

I had my little one 6 weeks ago. I can honestly recommend Topshop Jaime over the bump jeans. You do have to go onto the website every day as some size seem to go like my size which is a 12. As I got later in pregnancy I opted for a boyfriend fit from H&M these was so comfy; plus my thighs got huge. I have just put all my keep clothes in the loft. Both of these and a pair of faux leather wet looking leggings went straight on my keep pile. Good luck trying to find your perfect jeans. 😀

George at Asda's maternity jeggings are great

Try ASOS, they were brilliant for me.

Matalan’s were good - also not technically skinny jeans but Peacocks do some lovely jean shorts for the summer, and just a great range in general x

I liked H&M and nexts maternity clothing

Another vote for H&M super skinny jeans (over bump), I bought some online from boohoo and they make me look massive, the cut is ridiculous! And they are baggy.

H&M I got last pregnancy too and they were great, I got the grey ones this pregnancy rather than black.... they are spot on!

New look I find baggy and horrible and their tops are like tents!

I got two pairs of super skinny (blue and black) from jojo maman Bebe and they are great. There's also a grey pair but I found them baggy when I tried them on.

I got them at about 16 weeks - I'm now nearly 30 weeks and they still fit well.

Their sizes are generous so I'd go down a size.

Thanks again everyone - a little update, in case anyone is in the same boat.. @scratchbass you were spot on, I LOVED the JMB ones (and a tenner off when you buy two). I also got black and blue and had to go down a size but they fit amazingly.

I think my Hermes delivery driver is very pleased I have solved this particular problem...

@ELM8 glad to hear it! I've just got some shorts from there as well, just need the weather to match!
