Getting seriously tired of skinny jeans and tempted to go slouchy (or so called 'boyfriend') but the high-street ones I've tried all seem to stop at mid-calf and I look like a clown. I am 5ft10.

So before I hit the web for that elusive long pair, I'd welcome some honest opinions. Should I persist or stick to skinnies?

I'm 5 10 and I did it in my teens. Wouldn't do it now as I'm carrying a bit of extra weight but if I was really skinny, I would do it.

next are quite good for long boyfriend jeans. Why not bootcut though, or straight leg? I have all different shapes, i'm 5'11 with 34" legs.

Ah, didn't know Next had long range. Checking it out now. Thanks!

I would just get real bf jeans: vintage Levi's 501s. They're full length men's jeans but they sit well on women. A friend of mine is an ex model 5' 10 1/2 (not as skinny as she was) rocks hers.

They are ok if you are slim and wear vests etc to balance them out. I've had a pair from next tall in the past (36" long, size 12)

Yes yes to next longer length boyfriend jeans I'm 5'10 too and have a pair and love them!
