That really. Skinnies do nothing for me, i've got runners calves(!) but the best pair I've ever owned were a Hudson straight leg dark blue pair from tk maxx (reduced from £200 to £20!!) which are sadly knackered.

I will spend up to about £100 for the right pair but ideally under £60. Dark wash preferably. Any recommendations? Thank you Smile

I love the Next lift, slim and shape jeans in slim fit. £45 iirc.

I love gap straight fit.

Gap straight fit for me too.

Boden do a decent straight leg and currently 25% them good value. Not too Boden-like IYSWIM

Next had some relaxed skinny jeans which might be worth a try.

Lurking with interest (also have runner's calves).

I won't buy jeans in next anymore though. I find they grow by about 2 sizes after the first couple of washes?

NYDJ Not your Daughters Jeans - in the straight style are the best I have found and so comfortable.

These from Jigsaw are the best jeans I've ever had - comfortable, and amazingly flattering.

I noticed they've changed the name in store at least (had to go but a new pair as I lost weight!) and are now called Windsor - don't know why their website is not updated!

Mavi Olivia, very nice bum shape.

Thanks everyone, I think I need to go and try a few. Also wondering about 7 for all mankind straights, have had a few pairs of the boot cut over the years. Need to keep my eye on brand alley for those though Grin

Levis slim leg - they are lovely.

Gigondas · 05/06/2013 13:20

Gap long and lean are nice

SkiBumMum · 05/06/2013 13:28

Mint Velvet do some

heidihole · 05/06/2013 13:33

Another vote for NYDJ. Incredibly comfy

thepurplepenguin · 05/06/2013 14:27

Another vote for next relaxed skinnies.

thepurplepenguin · 05/06/2013 14:29

They have not grown, possibly because they dont have as much stretch as normal skinnies.
