Superskinny jeans?

32 replies

I'm 5'2 with quite skinny legs and small bottom, but lots of my weight is on my tummy and chest. I normally by size 14 petite skinny jeans but I'm finding that they are still baggy on my legs and a wrinkly look isnt great.

I've tried bootcut jeans too but there just seems to be lots of fabric making the very baggy. I think that although my waist is a 14 (and top a 16) my legs would actualy be a 10, if that helps.

Can anyone recommend some superskinny jeans? I'm hoping this is what I need. If you have alternative suggestions I'm all ears. :)

Queenkong - I think with the pastel colours the denim needs to be a bit thicker to avoid the uncooked sausage look (had the same in pale pink jeans)

Oh and I'm 5ft but get the 30 inch length in super skinnies as like a bit of ruching round the ankle.

I'm the same jeans size as you and a short arse and the primark jeans fit lovely on the waist and length but are a bit tight on my calves, maybe they'd be perfect for your legs Envy

MrsC-B. I did it for A Level too. She is my fave anti-heroine of all time. Plus I am moody like her :)

Perhaps I'll go to Primark then :) thanks, scented...

I have no problem with coloured jeans - have just bought some sage green ones. Just think that lavender would only suit certain people, and I am not one of them.

If I can use a sewing machine, I'm sure you can, EustaciaVye!

I too did Thomas Hardy for A Level. Bloody hated it!

these in indigo mix are similar to an old topshop pair I used to have.
They are tight and not jegging like at all to me. Don't be put off by the pic and the strange airbrushing on the grey pair (what happened to her hip??) they are so much better on. I have bought 3 pairs!!
I sized down though, and didn't bother with the short as M&S are short anyway.
