I want some skinny jeans.....

[40notTrendy]

But I just can't find any that fit properly.
If they fit in the leg I can't get them over my, let's say ample, tummy. Or if I get em over my backside, they are way too long in the leg. Or they flap about at the waist.
I'm just not built for them am I? Waaaa

h&m skinny jeans are dead stretchy and only £9.99 so not much lost if they don't suit. Good luck, jeans shopping is a most hateful task.

It is. I discounted H&M coz I tried a pair of cords on recently that fitted so badly I laughed before I started sulking! Walked past today, should have gone in

have you tried oasis? the style is 'cherry' and they have a bit of stretch in them and the waist isn't too low either. i love these!:)

oh I love the Next high waisted skinnies

Topshop baxter are the best ones I've found

Yes baxters very good and I am apple shaped. But wash on delicate and never ever tumble dry.

Uniqlo do fabulous skinnies, with stretch in them. They start at around £19.99, and the alter the length for free. I really like their quality and fit.

Gap legging jeans are stretchy but fit very well.

I recommend these all the time, 12.50 flat front skinny jeans. Hold everything in too

Baxters fan here. Wash with all other :crap jeans. tend to tumble dry after other drying.

love baxter's shape but i've had 3 or 4 pairs and they've always gone through on the knee really quickly.
its either a sad indictment of the quality of high street garments or i have really pointy knees

I am no skinny jeaned shaped girl, I am a hippy size 14 . I have two pairs of mint velvet straight legged jeans and they are lovely. Not dead skinny but straight decently high waisted. They were forty nine fifty but I got them at Hof on promo twenty per cent.I love them !

I love Oasis Cherry jeans.

This thread has reminded me that I was lovely and skinny last year due to some excellent possibly unhealthy zero-carb dieting and have a pair in a size 8 I am entitled to be smug as I have never, ever had size 8 jeans before.

neglects to mention current size 16 pregnant arse

Go Hugo! - size 8 is very wee. nowt wrong with having a size 16 pregnant arse..............errr i think!?!?

I hate the place with a passion but Hollister do fantastic skinny jeans. They have a stretch in them too and are really comfortable to wear, I'd go as far as to say they are the best jeans I have ever owned. Lift my arse back to where it should be too

Quite low rise though so may want to consider a possible muffin top and invest in some Spanx alongside the jeans!

I have Baxters and thought they were good until I got some Gap Premium super skinny jeans. I'm a size 10 but have a terrible jelly belly after all these babies and I can kind of tuck it into these jeans. Bloody genius

I am personally not a fan of Baxters. I find the rise too low - not good when you've had three kids!

I second the plug for Oasis jeans. They have a proper mid-rise and are far more flattering I think.

Dotty Ps extra skinny jeans in a size bigger - honestly it works for slim legs big tum

I agree with the Dororthy perkins - super skinny, super stretchy black ones...really comfy and I am not skinny!

Agree with Dorothy Perkins

Also got some in Matalan recently, never usually buy anything there but got some nice stretchy skinny jeans.

Gosh ladies, I'm so sorry, I've only just checked back (been a busy week ).
I have the Oasis Scarlet jeans so went to try their Cherry jeans on, but they were way too long on me so the skinny-ness was a bit lost, they just looked badly fitted.
Will try Dotty Ps and Gap as the big tum is definitely an issue . I always feel like a fraud going into top shop, waaayy too old.

Hollister I've never heard of?
Thanks all

Topshop jamie are the stretchiest ones I have found. Better than baxter. Also gap started doing a high waist in their always skinny range (but these are more jeggings I think).
