Peacocks slim leg jeans are really nice.
A bargain at £14.

I've always rated Peacocks jeans. My favorite maternity pair were from there. Will check these out, thanks!

Stars66 · 30/10/2014 23:06

If only there was a peacocks near me!

I love my relaxed skinnies from next. They are slim leg & comfy without being spray on tight.

BewitchedBotheredandBewildered · 31/10/2014 01:27

I would travel a long way for jeans that fit for £14 ! Shock

Are they low slung? or vaguely approaching waist height? FX Smile

I finally gave in and bought a pair of boyfriend jeans this week and they look great!
I wasn't expecting to like them as all the straight jeans I've tried looked and felt rubbish, but these are really flattering AND comfortable Smile

inconceivableme · 31/10/2014 08:08

I really like boyfriend jeans too but the leg length and shape of my current pair make them hard to wear with winter shoes and boots. Sad

ZaraW · 31/10/2014 08:16

Another fan of boyfriends got mine from Zara and they are just as good if not better than a designer pair I spent loads on.

Thick leggings for when wearing boots - my god so comfy.

Straight legged jeans which are slim fit for days when you can wear shoes. Or ankle boots but only some styles IMO.

www.peacocks.co.uk/lds-jean-slim-dnm-bar-d-blue.html These ones?

Cocolepew · 31/10/2014 08:42

That's the ones, not low waisted either.

I'm 5'5 and got the short length. I do like to wear my jeans, a bit ankle skimming, I always wear hi tops, but these were longer than ankle length.

I always wer slim cut as skinny jeans are not flattering on me. I have a pair from Sainsburys and a pair of Levi demi curve.

Cocolepew · 31/10/2014 10:23

I have a pair of Asda slim leg jeans, I always got compliments when I wore them.
They seemed to have shrunk in the wash though Blush

Would slim leg jeans still tuck inside boots?

inconceivableme · 31/10/2014 10:54

I also have Asda super skinny. They tuck in well yet aren't too tight / sprayed on.

returnvisit · 31/10/2014 10:55

they look fab, whats the sizing like on them? are they big or true to size.?

they have 99p standard delivery this weekend!

squoosh · 31/10/2014 11:35

I thought Peacocks had gone into liquidation a couple of years ago.

Cocolepew · 31/10/2014 11:54

The sizing is good, Im just over a 14 Hmm. The 14 fit well, they arent too stretchy which I like, really stretchy jeans start to creep down my legs Confused.
I have them on today with brown biker boots and look lovely Grin. They are very flattering.

Not sure about them tucking into boots, depends on the length of the boot I would say.

Our Peacocks never closed when all the other branches did, I found their maternity jeans (like these with an elastic bump bit) were fabulous and bought these after. Generous sizing but length not quite long enough for me so back to M and S 5 pocket jeggins in long. Very flattering slim fit I don't know how I managed without them for so long!

HermioneWeasley · 31/10/2014 14:21

Thanks, I'm giving them a go!

ireallydontlikemonday · 31/10/2014 14:22

I love the relaxed skinnies from next too, they are the best jeans I've ever hadGrin

101handbags · 31/10/2014 14:50

Next relaxed skinnies have been brilliant in the past few years - sadly this year they are absolutely awful. They've changed the material to be a sort of soft non-denimy material which stretches like crazy. I tried a pair on in the shop and even the size 8 was falling off me (and I am size 12 in RL). I wish they would bring back last year's ones.

itsnothingoriginal · 31/10/2014 16:01

Agree about the Next relaxed skinnies - totally unflattering cut and awful material this year!

I wear Gap relaxed skinnies rolled up with ankle boots. This works much better for my shape than tight skinnies with boots over. I think because I'm quite small and short of leg so this elongates my legs slightly! I'm not huge (size 8-10) but skinny jeans look truly awful on me!!
