Am currently wearing Gap and Next (not both at the same time obv!), however they're desperatly in need of replacing.

Years ago (when it was all green fields round here) you'd wear Levis or nothing - what are the makes today?

Mum2girls - you did make me lol at green fields!! I remember those Levi days too at £55 a pop. (In those days £55 was a LOT of money LOL again)

I bought two pairs just before I got pg with DD and never fitted back into them ! It was the most heartbreaking moment putting them into the charity bag!

Now I'm a New Look or Next jeans kinda girl. I got a fab pair that are a great fit from New Look - called Hula - £15. BAR-GAIN.

Now thing is, I'm not the tallest of birds - about 5'4. Any fellow short arses out there who've found jeans that don't trail 2ft behind them?

i wear hula jeans from new look

Kidstrack2 · 04/10/2005 16:21

I always buy Dorothy Perkins Jeans, they are the best fitting jeans I have found, before I used to buy Next but went off them because they were either too big size 10 or too small size8 so really if Next made a size 9 they would be perfect for me lol

Casual

H&M do fab jeans - I am in love with them at the moment... there cut fits me perfectly - nice and long and flared and a bargain to boot.

Also love the boarder styles - am 'feelin' the Levis ultra wide

and am loving Volcom as well at the moment

Sorry - I'm a jean freak

For a night out

I have a pair of Monsson jeans that are v. flattering and also a pair of Mango jeans which also fit well

northerner · 04/10/2005 16:24

Socci - if you have a hunt in TK Maxx they do sevens.

expatinscotland · 04/10/2005 16:24

GAP and Levi's are the only brands that fit me. Everything else has too narrow a space from waist to crotch.

I know I have about 15 pairs at the moment. that's quite sad actually isn't it!!

saadia · 04/10/2005 16:27

Next and Marks

ShowjumpingFen · 04/10/2005 16:27

Always Gap, preferably 'long and lean' but am also doing 'ultra low' now (despite my tummy being my worst bit).
Gap does great butt.

northerner · 04/10/2005 16:28

I counted mine when I moved house. I have 19 pairs.

Some are shorter to wear with flats/pumps, some are longer for heels, some looked good tucked into my boots, some have turn ups, some are dark blue and smartish, some are baggyish and faded and look good with my timberlands, some have glitter/diamondy bits for evening.

Bozza · 04/10/2005 16:30

I have Oasis (bought in sale), Gap 3/4s (bought in Outlet), Next (bought in sale), Levis (100s of years old - ie bought before DS who is 4 and a half was conceived and very unflattering).
