Looking for boyfriend jeans with NO rips

[CointreauVersial]

I love the slouchy fit of boyfriend jeans. I have a pair from last year which are in constant use (M&S Indigo) and I really want another pair.

The trouble is, almost every pair I've seen in the shops are ripped. Shredded, threadbare, knees poking out....I don't mind a bit of distressing, but I'm 47, and just think it's too young a look for me.

They may look charmingly studenty on the youthful, but if I wear ripped jeans I look as if I've forgotten to change out of my gardening trousers.

Can you find me some suitably slouchy/boyfriend cut jeans that don't have rips? Below £50 please.

My M&S boyfriend's have worn away through over use, I loved them. I have struggled to find another similar pair, I finally got some from Long Tall Sally, only helpful if you're tall, sorry!
I bought some from Next and Sainsbury's but they fit for 10 minutes and then become enormous, no good at all.

I'm 5'7", so not Long Tall Sally tall.

I'm going shopping on Saturday and would rather narrow down my search before I go.

bought a pair yesterday from Gap :) ...and not sure if I keep them as I wa shoping for ripped pair lol x

OK, I'll have a look at Gap or wait until they have a sale

Mint Velvet have them.

Try Sainsburys, their boyfriend jeans are lovely. Decent denim and about £20, you'll probably need to size down though so if you're a 6/8 probably no good.

Mine are from H and M. No rips - hooray. They are crops though (cold ankles)

There is one boyfriend style in Zara as well that isn't either ripped/faded pale denim/or both. Massive sizing though even though they are called 'boyfriend' jeans and I had to size down as far as I could!

Right. I shall try Zara and H&M.

MV is too spenny for me.

There is a massive Sainsbury's not too far from me, although I've not been blown away by their jeans in the past.

Thanks for all the suggestions.

And yes, tell the retailers - what's with the blinking rips everywhere?!

These are good , but def size down asos

I have these from Mint Velvet, not a rip n sight.

I bought a pair in New Look this week, they also have Mom Jeans which are similar fit with a higher waist.

Gah! Not sure I'm ready for Mom Jeans.

Oh but the Slebs are rocking the Mom jean look dontchaknow.

Mine are from river island, very plain darkish wash no rips ect but a bit of distressing and none of the tacky embelishments ri are fond of. They were £36 pound I think.

These Baukjen ones look nice here

I am a Jack Wills convert, bought a pair of boyfriend jeans and they hold the shape beautifully - not a rip in sight!

Nice, Silver, but twice my budget.

I love boyfriend fit jeans as they agree with my rugby player size thighs!!

Def recommend Gap's sexy boyfriend with them rolled up a bit, they tend to do a more lightweight version for summer, usually a ripped and unripped style,I got a pair on the sale rail so it is worth going on sale racks or in the outlets, plus keep an eye on grazia magazine as they sometimes do 30% off promotions

Do boyfriend jeans have to be turned up at the bottom? That seems to be the case looking at pictures in magazines etc

Reporting back from my quest for rip-free boyfriends....

River Island - nothing
Top Shop - nothing
Mango - nothing (I overheard the shop assistant say to her colleague " that's the first time I've ever been asked for boyfriend jeans with no rips")
Next - had a rip-free style, good price, fitted nicely at the top, but the hems were so wide that the roll-ups looked like little doughnuts around my ankles. No.
H&M - never made it there
Zara - there wasn't one
Primark - nothing
Gap - well, hello Sexy Boyfriend! And hello 30% discount on denim! We have a winner. I'll have to use a belt, but that's no hardship with boyfit jeans. Nice and soft/faded/distressed but rip-free. Although it's a long time since I've needed to use the phrase "sexy boyfriend".

I popped into TKMaxx and spotted a pair of Levi Demi Curve skinny jeans, which I also tried on. They were sold as "seconds" because there was a tiny fault in the fabric on one leg. Oh, the irony....

Glad you are now'sexy boyfriend-ed' op!

Thank you for doing all the hard work, Cointreau I too am 47 and 5.7, and have done the ripped jeans look back in the 80s, not doing it again. (Second hand Levi red labels from Flip...)

I shall sally forth to Gap!

Oh and we had to WORK for those rips back in the day! They didn't come distressed, we had to upset them ourselves! Young 'uns. Don't know they're born

Awkward - you must remember taking in your jeans, so they were even skinnier, then lying on the floor to zip them up. Then needing help to get them off again.

M&S Indigo also have some nice rip-free boyfriends, presumably this year's version of the ones I already have. A bit narrower and less faded than the Gap ones, but worth a try.
