Where do you all yours from? I've tried karen millens and river island but the fit isn't quite right.

You need to try on LOTS of pairs. I had a great pair of Baxters from TopShop, and last summer bought a coated ankle-zip pair from Zara which are also fab.

noddyholder · 02/05/2013 10:18

I like zara

Ive just bought the Boden white skinnies as recommended by the 40bumlady blog and she was right, they are ace. She wears hers loads in her outfit pics

I suppose with boden it's free postage and returns at least.

Oh lord I'm going to have to go out shopping aren't I?

Dh is up for a shopping trip. He likes shopping and picks out things that he thinks would suit me.

I suppose if we went early it wouldn't be too bad. I could do Primark and Topshop then.

Boden code SIZE was giving 20% off plus free post and returns

MadAboutHotChoc · 02/05/2013 10:38

Beware as lots of white skinnies now are thinner and therefore more see through.

Plathism · 02/05/2013 11:10

What about Uniqlo? I don't have the white ones, but I have the light blue and the grey and love them - super comfy and flattering.

MrsCampbellBlack · 02/05/2013 11:15

I second topshop baxters. Honestly way, way better than any of the expensive ones I've tried.

NotTreadingGrapes · 02/05/2013 11:17

I have a "do" in the next few weeks and am going for skinnies and posh navy top. Ergo I have become a skinny expert and now have a fecking wardrobe full of the beggars.

Do NOT go for the Next ones which cost about £30. They are soooooo skinny my calves got the circulation stopped. They are also v v v thin and pants are visible underneath.

I have ordered the Boden ankle skimmer skinnies, after reading good reviews, but they aren't due to be delivered for 2 wks, so just in case I bought a pair of normal Boden skinnies from ebay.

NotTreadingGrapes · 02/05/2013 11:18

I think the trick is to def go for white denim rather than white cotton.

NotTreadingGrapes · 02/05/2013 11:20

The uniqlo look nice.

Runs off to buy more. Baaaa.

Hopefully · 02/05/2013 11:20

Another vote for baxters.

MadAboutHotChoc · 02/05/2013 11:30

Agree about the Next jeans - tried these on and you could see my knickers! Shame as the fit was good.

MadAboutHotChoc · 02/05/2013 11:32

A friend told me that hers were from the Gap - great fit etc but they're not selling these again this year it seems.

kaumana · 02/05/2013 12:30

Gillybobs, do the Boden skinnies come up big or small in their sizing?

Gillybobs · 02/05/2013 12:52

kaumana Id say they were spot on size wise

Mine were from Oasis last year, the cherry range. I love the quality, which is the best ive seen to date, because they are not transparent or too thin. The best are probably straight leg, although these are called skinny, but they don't cling at all, and make my arse look a really decent shape.

Every other pair i have tried on made me look like an over-stuffed sausage, and I am quite slim. Definitely try them if they still do that range.
Silly, perhaps, but here is a pic of me wearing 'em!

Ladies! They still sell them!
Might be slightly different to last yrs, but pretty much same jeans

Next Lift and Shape ones are good, cost £45 I think.

cardoon · 05/05/2013 21:30

OOOh, where's your grey jumper from TT?

AndTwoBits · 05/05/2013 21:48

You look amazing TT, I want to buy white jeans and a jumper now ffs!! Not that I'd pull off the look quite as well!

hedgefund · 05/05/2013 21:49

have to agree with zara, their jeans are pretty good though i must have a shape that suits them as i keep on buying jeans from there!
