Please help me buy some jeans.

[CoventLondon]

I only have 4 pairs of jeans due to having to throw a pair away last week as there was a hole in the crotch area . Another pair the same are heading the same way. They are portfolio jeans from M&S and I bought them as I liked the colour and the diamante details.

I am 39, have 2 stone to lose and a tummy that sticks out. I would be willing to pay a decent amount if they made me look okay, felt great and lasted a good while. The portfolio ones haven't lasted 2 years.

If it's tummy-flattening you're after, a lot of people rate Not Your Daughter's Jeans

They're at John Lewis, Shoon... lots of places I think. Not cheap at around £90 - £120 or so but when you think about just how much wear you get out of them it actually makes sense to spend a bit more and get good ones.

Please don't buy any more diamante jeans from M&S

Gap curvy are very flattering
