Skinny bootcut

10 replies

DontSayWhatSayPardon · 14/10/2013 09:56

Any one have any idea where I can find bootcut jeans that are slim through the leg and have a narrow bootcut? I have skinnies but Ilike a bootcut for my more slobbing around type days (most of them since the birth of ds2 :-/ ). I'm a size 16-18 at the moment and have always been big through the hips but with comparatively slim legs. Most jeans come up really baggy on the legs, or if they fit the legs they are too tight on the waist/hips. I'm 5'8". Hope someone can help as its driving my bonkers! Thanks!

Oasis Eva jeans. A very slim fitting pair of jeans which are good for apple shapes and are not flappy in the least, HTH!

Dorothy Perkins are where I got mine - really nice fit and narrow bootcut.

Thanks for advice. I get mine at Dorothy Perkins too usually but they haven't really got many bootcut in at the moment. Although I've just been back to the website to check and there is a pair that might be good. Oasis only go up to size 16 which I think would be a squeeze just now sadly! Thanks v much though!

Don'tsay - the Oasis jeans are quite a generous fit in my opinion - definitely worth trying on.

Oasis Eva jeans are fab, yes, the sizing is quite generous so on the advice of a friend I went down a size. They are brilliant, lovely and slim through the thigh, not too tight around the calf, with a little boot cut, still slim enough to wear under boots. They look great with heels, ballet flats and my Converse. They are quite hard to get hold of but I used the search facility on the Oasis website and a pair was sent to me from the Edinburgh store! I will be buying more pairs of these.

Uniqlo.
Next.

I have some great (whispers it) Boden skinny/flares. I'm not sure if they are still doing them. I got mine in a sale a couple of years ago. I too love flares and bootcuts, although I now dabble in skinnies!

Yep - another vote for Oasis Eva. I got mine on line in the end but had tried on in store (but wrong leg length).

Next do a skinny bootcut that's very flattering. They're high-waisted though, so not sure if you'd like that. I love them - it acts like a girdle!

I recently got some in Fat Face. They lift my saggy arse too.
