Boring: I need new black Jeans - they need to come up to my waist - where should I be looking

[KatyMac]

I'm more of a Tesco/Asda/Sainsburys or if I splurge M&S; would H&M be a good place to look?

Any ideas?

M&S jeans (esp the coloured jeggings) are great, no bagging on wearing at all. Not low on the waist. I have horrendous tummy covered in stretchmarks and they hold them in nicely.
I personally do not like the Next highwaist skinnies. They were great for the first few washes but now (after 5 washes) they have really faded and the elastic seems to have gone - the knees and bum bag out as soon as I sit down. I have found this a lot with Next jeans and never learn (damn your convenient delivery and collection service).

I have just got 2 pairs of jeans from Next - lift, shape and slim I think mine are called - lovely high waist and do exactly as they claim!

Come in all styles and 2 lengths.
I have straight leg and skinny - very comfortable
About £45.

I'd second the TS Kirstens. I've got a long torso and they're comfortably high waisted on me. As I remember they size in two inch increments which is no good for me as I'm between a 28" and a 30" in this style.

I can't tell you if they wear well, though - I returned them when I realised TS are tax dodgers

Kristens, sorry!

Thanks everyone; lots of choice I'm all confused now

I tired some on in Dorothy Perkins skinnies, and ultra skinnies on today. I found them a good waist height. Comfy and good looking too. And cheap, which is always good.

I find if the waist is too high they can be less flattering under your clothes and make you bulky round the middle. Next high waist jeans look terrible on me.

Gap ones are fab, wish i had two pairs i wear them to death (and to work)

Oh yes, I tried on dp jeggings too! Never thought I would see the day when I would try on jeggings....

...anyway, they were actually quite good. But the maternity style elasticated waist band put me off a bit just cos even though no one would ever see it...I would know it was there!

Which gap ones mosschops?

The 'real straight' ones. Theyre the best jeans ive ever had, fit really well, wash well, ok for work/casual/going out.
Really must get another pair

OK I am going shopping with black jeans as my goal (in 2 weeks or so)

Probably M&S or NEXT

Thanks for your suggestions

I am ordering
one
two
three
four

As I really do hate shopping

New look have some skinny jegging type back ones with a elasticated band at the waist, makes for comfy wearing and £12:99 a pop.

I bought these & these

Top Shop's Kristen ones are the BEST by a mile. Think they're about £40. They're always recommended in all the fash mags/glossies - not that that's important, but just to emphasise it's more than just me who believe's in their general fabulousness!

Next Lift, Shape and Slim - I have skinny and bootcut in black and blue. Best jeans I ahve had in years.

I also have some M&S black jeggingss
