Nice jeans for curvy shape?

32 replies

YourHandInMyHand · 01/09/2013 09:38

I want some nice jeans for autumn/winter but not skinnies as I have big hips and thighs and they just don't suit me.

Anyone with a curvy body shape found anything that's a good fit on the high street?

Gap have good jeans for curvy shapes although I haven't bought any recently so not sure if the style/shape has changed since my last pair.

I also like Falmer jeans - just bought some vintage slim fit which are flattering (I think!) and they are a good price too.

Not sure about more expensive ranges though..

Hi I have a few pairs of next jeans from their lift and shape range. They are about £40-£45 each but fit great, comfy and look good too. I'm a curvy size 12 and actually have the skinnies for boots/flats, bootcut (altho not approved of by some on here Grin ) and the slim cut. I'd recommend a try if you have a next nearby or order online off them. My favourite are the slim cut for shape, style, versatility.

I'm a curvy petite size 16 (so just plain fat!) I find NEXTS boyfriend jeans the comfiest/flattering without walking all over the bottom! Closely followed by GAPS strait curvy

M&S Marilyn jeans.

Tobagostreet · 01/09/2013 10:07

Next - lift and shape.

True to size. Come in different lengths, washes and styles (straight/boot cut).

Best fitting jeans I've ever bought.

mrsharrystyles · 01/09/2013 10:13

New Look jeans are good. Cheap as chips as well.

Allinafankle · 01/09/2013 11:08

I'm a curvy 16 and can't do skinnies either - I like Red Herring from Debenhams (which surprises me!) and Monsoon.

OhTheDrama · 01/09/2013 11:25

I'm a curvy 14 and can't do skinnies but Gap Real Straight are fantastic, only jeans I wear now.

piratecat · 01/09/2013 11:41

New Look 9.99 dark ones. i am a 14 curvy, short. they are so flattering on the thighs/bum (pulls you in) and wash and wash.

I have two pairs, and love em.

here they be

dexter73 · 01/09/2013 13:10

Levis curve. They also have a new range called Revel that are supposed to do wonderful things to your bum and thighs. I have ordered a pair obviously!

lurkingaround · 01/09/2013 13:12

Ooh report back when you get them, will you dexter?

racingheart · 01/09/2013 13:15

Yes! M&S Eva jeans. They are so comfortable. I used to buy the Gap ones but they don't last. The Eva jeans are far better cut. I want to but 10 pairs in one go. They come in pale or dark denim and black; straight or narrow bootleg and in different leg lengths. The straight cut is good. In fact I'm just waiting for the cooler weather to get back into them.

ShootMeNowPlease · 01/09/2013 13:15

Uniqlo are surprisingly good (and cheap!). They do straight leg and boot cut as well as skinny. I'm very curvy and they're not a bad fit at all on me.

StatisticallyChallenged · 01/09/2013 13:19

I'd second the Levi's curve - I've never been able to find jeans which fit properly but picked up a pair in TK Maxx the other day and they are fabulous.

juneau · 01/09/2013 13:24

Levi's for me too. They do a demi curve or a bold curve, depending on your shape and what I love about them is that they are tailored in above the hip so you don't get a gap at the back where you knickers show! Someone on here recommended to me last winter and I have about five pairs now.

dexter73 · 01/09/2013 14:05

Will do lurkingaround!

theoriginalandbestrookie · 01/09/2013 14:13

Mint velvet do good skinny jeans that fit me well - I'm a curvy 14. Good quality too, so last for a long time.

theoriginalandbestrookie · 01/09/2013 14:16

Sorry should have read OP a bit more carefully Blush now I can see you weren't looking for skinnies. Worth giving mint velvet a go in any case, you may be pleasantly surprised about how they look on you.

Wow I wasn't expecting so many replies! Thanks so much. Smile

I don't know where to start! Lots to try out, may have to go for a trying on session in town when DS goes back to school.

I'm 5ft6 with massive boobs and hips, skinnies make my legs look like parsnips.

Levi Demi curve.

Also - I picked up a pair of lovely straight jeans in Tesco the other day. They cost £5 in the sale. Every bit as nice as my Levi's except not quite as thick. Very comfy.

MissOtisRegretsMadam · 02/09/2013 21:05

Went to tesco today think they have ripped off Nexts "lift and shape" ones they had a nice looking blue pair and high waisted black ones. They looked good... Think they were 20 quid. Didn't have time to try them on today but will next time I go,

Bunbaker · 02/09/2013 21:14

I find the problem with the Levi ones is that they are quite low cut. I prefer jeans to sit just below my waist, not just above my hips. M and S have a fantastic range of jeans now and the Eva ones are a good fit for my curvy hips and don't leave a gap round the waistband.

The Next lift and Shape are good, but I am in between sizes at the moment and they are either too tight or too loose.

dexter73 · 03/09/2013 13:59

lurkingaround - my jeans arrived. I ordered these. They were very nice but a tiny bit on the tight size so I have asked for an exchange to the next size up. They are quite low waisted which I don't normally find to be the case, but I don't mind that. Made my bum look nice!

slurredlines · 03/09/2013 14:01

seven for all mankind give me a lovely shape but they are £££. I got a pair off Amazon recently fot 60 quid though, but they were skinnies.

CheeseAndFriedMushrooms · 03/09/2013 14:39

Marking place to look at buy these jeans later 😊
