Are non-stretch jeans coming back in...

...and if so, where can I buy them? I always loved non-stretch jeans, once you broke them in they were more flattering and lasted longer but it's been the best part of 10 years since I found a pair of them in the shops. I saw a blog post from the US the other day about levis pushing a new type of non-stretch women's jean...does anyone know about it and if we can get them here? Or anywhere else I can get jeans which don't bag round the knees and hips within 6 months of buying them??

I got some non stretch diesel jeans in the summer - super comfy.

Not in this house!
All three jeans wearers in this house like comfort (DH to the extent he never wears jeans)

Thanks biscuit will look out for diesel. Am I the only one who thinks non stretch are more comfy? They don't bag and you don't keep having to pull them up...like nice shoes that mould to fit eventually!

No therealMaud you are not the only one! Hate how stretch jeans or worse jeggings cling, more about how they feel rather than look! I have been trying Levi Curve and Diesal Straitzee this eve. Levi curve are more comfy (low elastine content) but I prefer the look of Diesal . . . hope some more suggestions will follow!

Oh I hope not. I cant go back to baggy knees.
I'd be happy to see boot cut back though.
I'm sick of skinnies and boyfriends are spectacularly unflattering.

I hop not. I will never go back. NEVER...

Jojomo7 · 24/10/2014 00:55

Not for me either!!!

LEVI are bringing out a modern slim boyfriend version of the classic 501s called the strinny later this year/early next.

TheRealMaudOHara · 24/10/2014 06:06

Ha! I didn't realise jeans could be so polarizing! Looks like there might be some choice out there for us non-stretchers finally, last time I went to Levi is was stretchy as hell but it's been a couple of years. Will check them out!

Boyfriend jeans tend to be non stretch and plenty of those around - try Asos

dexter73 · 24/10/2014 08:04

I wear Levis and I find them quite stretchy (probably why I love them so much!!). The jeans I have with the least stretch are a pair of 7 for all mankind Roxannes. They are a few years old though so they might have become more stretchy now.
