Alternatives to Topshop Marthas?

7 replies

I love(d) my black Topshop Martha jeans but I managed to rip them the other day and now I find out they don't make them anymore (well none instore nor on the website) noooooooooo Sad

Can anyone recoomend good alternatives? I have chunky legs that rugby players would be jealous of (15 1/2 inch calves!) so I find straight-legs look so much better than skinny jeans (which quite often I can't even get on). I still have a blue pair but the black ones were so much nicer and I need a replacement.

Please and thank you.

You can put an ebay alert out for Topshop Marthas? They come up reasonably regularly.

Alternatively, if you're tall, Long Tall Sally Richmond jeans have a similar fit, but they start at leg length 36", so won't be much good if you're under about 5'9".

I love martha jeans too, have just bought some off ebay.

Lots of black ones listed at the moment.

Uniqlo do great straight legs and the calf room is generous enough, definitely. They are a good height on the rise too, and great quality denim. Better to try on though because their sizing bothers me - although they do list exact item measurements with every pair online, even thigh width. Worth a look at the site if you can't get to a local branch (London only I think).

Oh and a tenner cheaper than marthas used to be.

Also, they were discontinued once before, but came back a few months later, so they might return.

marking my place - love martha jeans!

Thanks all Smile Have set up an ebay alert - the only size 12s on there at the moment don't look black to me in the photos?

Long Tall Sally are unfortunately too long for me - I only need 32-34 length.

Am tempted to try the Levi curve ID straight legs as La Redoute have just sent me some discount codes...
