Help! I hate shopping in physical shops, but I need jeans!

There is no way I am going into a shop to try on jeans, I hate it. But I keep buying jeans that are the wrong fit.

Here are my measurements:

Thigh: 67 cm (26"-27")
Hip: 98 cm (38"-39")
Waist: 80 cm (32")

For the record, I have jeans that I like from H&M and Gap, I hate M&S.

Any suggestions for regular fit jeans or boyfriend jeans? I am 41 and I don't look good in skinny jeans.

Next high waist straight legs in blue/black.

I bought nice well fitting boyfriend jeans from Monsoon of all places.

misscph1973 · 21/05/2014 11:50

Just checked, Next have no straight jeans online at all!

Hello,
They seem to be calling them slim leg jeans now rather than straight but seem the same cut. It's from their lift,slim and shape range.

Uniqlo come up big in my opinion. I have a pair of Dorothy Perkins slim boyfriend jeans and love them (wearing them now with a coral slub tee from Gap and leopard slip-ons). Look for ones that are 98% cotton and 2% elastane as I find this is an ideal composition.

Thanks, Milmingebag, wil look again.

Frankie, will look at Dorothy Perkins.

Annoyingly I can't see the exact pair of slim boyfriends that I bought from DP online...and they did sell out pretty quick in our local store. Bummer!

I'm not sure if Uniqlo come up big or not as they are sold by waist size. They are definitely the jeans that have fitted my shape the best. I often find jeans really gape at the waist or if they fit at the waist then they are too tight on the thigh.

Re the Monsoon sizing. I bought a size 10 and they are a good boyfriend fit without being baggy. I bought other trousers from Monsoon and they were a 12 and fitted in all the right places.

I don't look good in skinny jeans either, feel very sausage like.
