Skinny jeans that are tight on the thigh and don't go baggy around the knees!

I have got skinny (or super skinny) from New Look, Gap, Next, Primark an Dorothy Perkins and they are all CRAP!

They are comfortable and to begin with are fine, but all are baggy on the knees after half a day and they look rubbish! Can anyone recommend any that are spacious around the hips, not too low-rise and stay tight on the leg!?

American Apparel? I got mine for £15, think they are normally about £50 though. They are great.

Don't bother with topshop though, they ALWAYS go baggy, which is a shame as the design is nice.

The wrath of the MN stylisticas will be down upon me, but I only ever buy Per Una jeans. They are fab. Cheap as chips, fit tight all the way from the bum to the ankle, not noticed any bagging round the knees. Am also a giantess and praise be, they are long enough too.

How does the sizing come up for American Apparel, Yellowraincoat? I'm a 12 on the legs, but verging onto a 14 on the hips which is a pain!

Thanks for the heads up for Top Shop-that was on my list of 'to try next'!!

It does seem to come up quite small Appuskidu. I am tiny (5ft, size 6) and normally buy the smallest size, but the smallest ones were tight on me. So probably you'd have to get a size larger than normal. But they definitely worked for me.

I have these ones in Lagoon Blue store.americanapparel.co.uk/rsacs400w.html?cid=194

if you spend the money of 5 cheap pairs on one good pair (Seven, J Brand, Citizens etc) you will definitely see the difference and get your money's worth.
