Stretchy skinny jeans hunt

24 replies

happymschicken · 08/03/2013 11:30

When I was pregnant I had a great pair of H&M stretch skinny jeans that were an absolutely brilliant fit and I've been trying to find something similar but non-maternity since.

Any ideas? I'm a size 14 and don't have a massive budget. I did like Top Shop jeans but they're a bit too low on the waist now my stomach has been ruined and I don't want to be pulling them up all the time.

I tend to wear Top Shop Cory jeans as they're a brilliant fit but fancy something a bit more fitted now.

Primark ones are ace!

happymschicken · 08/03/2013 11:53

I hadn't thought of Primark. Do they wash ok?

Primark jeans are great. I have pairs that I bought 3 years ago and still fit nice.

Next? DD1 and I both have coloured skinny jeans that fit and are not low waisted. DD2s children's ones are also a sensible cut.

Gok jeans from sainsburys. I was very dubious but now have several pairs. They are very stretchy, don't bag at knees, great length, tuck muffin top into the top!! Cheaper than topshop! What's not to love.

Tihs has become my MN warcry, but Marks and Spencer 5 pocket jeggings are the shizzle!

Not a 'jegging' at all but a very nice skinny stretch denim, high waisted and no knee-bag.

Primark £8 skinnies are also terrific!

I have some Primark skinnies on right now but I also have several pairs of Dorothy Perkins ones. Think they call them Bailey or something like that now but they're ever so comfy Grin

JeffFaFa · 08/03/2013 12:10

Dorothy perkins bailey jeans are very stretchy, i prefer a firm jean so returned mine but if thats what your after they would be perfect.

daimbardiva · 08/03/2013 12:13

Yup, m&s 5 pocket jeggings are the answer

happymschicken · 08/03/2013 12:14

I'm off to Primark as soon as I can get someone to have the DCs!

Love M&S jeggings but the colour seems to fade really quickly. Very comfy though.

Dotty P's! Eden I think they are called

How long are the primark skinnies? Will they fit my ridiculous 36" legs?

ProbablyJustGas · 08/03/2013 12:33

I got a pair from Fat Face last year, size 14. They were a bit dear, but they've held their shape and color really well. I do not have skinny legs, but I like the way I look in these.

samuelwhiskers · 08/03/2013 12:50

Brilliant advice here, thanks Katopotato - just ordered 2 pairs of M & S jeggings online in flame and blue. What colours do you wear with these bright colour jeggings?

Neena28 · 08/03/2013 13:48

The long gok ones from Sains are super long. I have a 44" inside leg and can wear the regular rather than the long!

Neena28 · 08/03/2013 13:48

Wow 34" NOT 44"!!!! Oops

GinAndSlimlinePlease · 08/03/2013 15:53

Thanks neena, I might try those gok long ones then Smile

SorrelForbes · 08/03/2013 15:56

I'm a big fan of Gap High Rise Skinnies. I'm 5'4" and they're too long for me.

sooperdooper · 08/03/2013 15:58

I really like these ones from Debenhams

ive just bought some fab black skinnies from Asda of all places.I only went in for my groceries.they are called 'wonderfit' and at£18 wont break the bank.

EMUZ · 08/03/2013 17:09

M&S 5 pocket jeggings. Try on though, I found the indigo thicker and bigger sizing than the black

theoriginalandbestrookie · 08/03/2013 18:47

I have these from mint velvet www.mintvelvet.co.uk/indigo-skinny-jeans/jeans/mint-v/fcp-product/2801 and they are fab. I have had mine for a few months now and they wash well and don't go stretchy. I'm a size 14 too and I think they are very flattering.

They are a bit pricey but if you go on to promotions there is a 15% off code and free delivery that works.

I bought a pair of Next skinnies for £20 I think but they go horrendously baggy after one wear, so very disappointing.

Ilovemydogandmydoglovesme · 08/03/2013 19:00

Another vote for M&S Five Pocket Jeggings. They come in lots of colours and are quite nice.

I've also got a couple of pairs of Straight Leg Denim Jeans and you just can't go wrong for the price!
