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

The black skinny jeans I bought from New Look a year ago have lasted really well. They haven't gone baggy or faded around the knees. They aren't too skinny or too low rise either.

It's been a year so they might be different now, but I think it was these ones.

I wear those tucked into boots. When I wear Converse I wear Gap 1969 Real Straight jeans. They are a bit low in the rise but I prefer the fit on the leg to skinnies.

I only tried on one pair. Perhaps the second pair were slim fitting. Blush

I'm going to stick to my M&S straight leg jeans. Now they are slim, and about the same price. They're so slim that you've got to squeeze into them but they loosen up on wearing. The Peacocks jeans would have fallen off me if they'd stretched at all.

The fit seems very variable. I bought two pairs, tried on and wore the first pair, which are very slim fitting. However, today I put on the second pair and they're as the previous poster describes, almost baggy! Annoyed because I took the labels off the second pair before putting them on, as I assumed they'd be the same fit, so now can't return them.

I've sent the Peacock jeans back. They were straight legged but they certainly weren't slim fitting, they were almost baggy. I'm a size 16 so perhaps they get bigger with bigger sizes.

I've just got these from Next - agree the denim is a big soft but the gut us amazing. Best fit I've had in years.

Anywhere else please? Want lasting quality so never go for New Look or Peacocks.

Thanks for the Peacocks recommendation. Just bought a couple of pairs, they fit really well and are flattering, a bargain for £14 Smile

I can't get on with the next relaxed skinnies this year either. I've just bought some straight legs from new look that I'm really impressed with. Less than £25, not too low waisted and lovely soft denim m.newlook.com/shop/womens/jeans/dark-blue-straight-leg-jeans-_310013540 would recommend!

Ok so where now for relaxed skinnies if Next now poor quality? Gap only have skinny highwaisted or not or real straight...

Agree about the Next relaxed skinnies being carp this year. They go baggy round the knees really quickly and I hate that!
The Peacocks in our town closed down. I really miss it.

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!!

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.

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!

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.
