Jeans - worth spending ££? If so what would you recommend?

Right, I'm now back to pre-DS size, well smaller than pre DS and now I need to look at rebuilding my wardrobe from almost scratch as everything is either super old or too big (haven't really bought anything new since 2010 as knew we were going to TTC and then I was pg, then I was fat and now I'm back to normal!).

I wear jeans almost every day - they are my staple item. I've just bought a bargainous pair of khaki jeggings from Sainsburys (£12.50) but I really need a new pair of mid blue jeans for going out in the day - not lounging around at home level as I'll just wear old jeans for that, but out for lunch with a friend type of thing.

So, I'm trying to decide where to look. I go back to work in March so will have money again (yey), and I am considering treating myself to something at the 7FAM/MiH level. But is it worth it? Will they last? Will they go baggy after 1 wear like my gap jeans? If it helps I'm 28 and about a size 10 (but quite a pear shaped size 10).

Hello. This thread is a little old now and some of the recommendations may be out of date. Whatever style you’re looking for, take a gander at our round-up of Mumsnetters’ favourite jeans for more recent suggestions. MNHQ.

This is American but I found it an interesting read:

It shows the same person wearing different brands of jeans and it's pretty amazing how different their figure looks. Makes me more determined to shop around once I regain my pre pregnancy figure so in about a million years time then.

JimmyCorkhill that website confirms my views on Gap jeans and their ability to end up baggier than a very baggy thing after half an hour of wear!
