Who can help find me some jeans? Pretty please?

I'm in urgent need of some new jeans.

Currently I have two pairs:

  1. very skinny sprayed-on type ones that look OK-ish (I think) but I can't actually keep them up. Fed up with retrieving them from half way down my bum twenty five times a day.

  2. A pair of Gap 'classic cut' ones, which are pretty loose and baggy and I suspect make me look like a binman.

I'm a size 12, blessed with very slim thighs but cursed with a flabby tummy after 3 babies and years of serious chocolate habit.

Oh, and I'm very tall so I need something with a good 34" inside leg - Next 'long' length are OK-ish but M&S long are nothing like long enough.

I want something that can be dressed up with pretty tops or dressed down with jumper & converse.

Am I asking the impossible? Hopefully not!

Levi's 627s. high-ish waist, stretch denim, straight leg, fit well around bum and thighs, currently on sale in Levi's shop for £37 and go up to 34" leg.

I love Gap or Next bootcut - have you tried the Next ex-long? They're designed for a 34" leg (i think). I wear the Long ones and I've a 32"-ish leg. Current faves are a v dark pair of Next bootcuts, they look equally good with my knackered converse or high heeled boots. And the waist isn't too low, I find it's just right for holding in 'my' post-3-babies-and-fondness-for-percy-pigs stomach....

Try Oasis Scarlet long (34" leg). You can also find these on ebay, I've bought a couple of pairs for a £5 each before now, if you want to try before you buy...:)

thanks all of you, that's a good start. I got a bit spooked by someone on the cord trouser thread saying that bootcuts were so over.

I got ridiculously excited on the Oasis website when I saw a pair of Chloe wash Scarlet jeans in long, reduced to £10. Then I saw they were size 6 only Blush.

Thanks again for your help.
