jeans that aren't skinny

I am bored of my skinny jeans.

Where can I find some decent non skinny jeans on the high street? Either boyfriend or straight leg.

I live in a small city that is rubbish for shopping!

I always get my jeans from next

They have some nice slim boyfriends

I like GAP, White Co or Hush boyfriend jeans at the mo.

'Abigail' jeans from White Stuff are lovely. I've had my pair for 2 years now and they're a nice fit. not too baggy but very flattering.

Watching with interest!

mumof3xox - do the next ones still slide down? I had terrible trouble with their jeans just sliding off and having a permanent 'mum bum'. Wasn't just me - think it was a problem for every mum at toddler group back then! Confused

Mumof3xox · 16/08/2014 08:58

Sudden I don't seem to get that problem no! But tbh I have been buying my jeans from there for 6 years and never experienced it except with one pair of boyfriends that were just overly baggy

I've got my eye on some Boyfriend jeans at Gap.

If you want something cheap and everyday, New Look straight leg jeans are decent.

Levi Curve also do a slim/straight (but not 'spray on' skinny) jean that is good for the generous of bum.

Boyfriend jeans are great in the summer but what do you wear on your feet in winter?

Sleepyfergus · 16/08/2014 14:37

Sofa - for boyfriend styles I would wear my converses or Kurt Gieger Ash style lookalikies. I know that some on MN consider converses as mummsy, but I'm actually past caring as long as I'm comfy and I like the look of them!

SofaCanary · 16/08/2014 14:46

Brrr, I must be more nesh than you, Sleepy...I'd need leg warmers in the depth of a Manchester winter to keep my ankles warm!

Cocolepew · 16/08/2014 15:22

I have straight legged from Asda and always got lots of compliments when I wore them. Unfortunately I'm too fat for them atm Sad

NEXT

I bought these high waisted jeans from Next (no 'Mum Bum' of Muffin Top!) very flattering!

IWillOnlyEatBeans · 17/08/2014 12:01

Thanks for all the suggestions!

I have also experienced builder's bum in Next jeans. I have avoided them ever since!

I think there is a GAP outlet near by. I might investigate later. I like the White Stuff ones too, but the nearest shop is miles away! And buying jeans online seems risky!
