I'm looking for the perfect skinny jean

I need two new pairs of skinny jeans, to wear with knee high boots, biker boots n ballet pumps.

Would love a black pair that won't fade in the wash, don't go baggy, not too high on the waist
Also a darker blue, any suggestions
I've had ones from primark n they didn't keep their shape very well n faded. My mango ones move around my leg too much, the seams move

Help! Sad

Try New Look Supersoft, they don't bag and keep their colour and they are around £20. That said, I've never found any black jeans that keep their colour regardless of how much money I pay.

Thank you, I'll try New Look.
Every pair if ack jeans I've had have faded of they end up covered in boys of fluff
Surely there must be one pair?

I meant to say that every pair of black jeans I've had have faded or ended up covered in fluff

I like my gap ones they don't move at all

I've just bought the New Look black superskinny jeans and they are really nice colour and fit (haven't washed yet) but I do find them quite high waisted which is taking a bit of getting used to.

Another vote for new look. I have their supersoft skinnies and the high waisted ones.

They fit perfectly and have kept their shape after almost a year

You need to wash black jeans on their own in non bio liquid or colour liquid to stop fading . Washing powders have bleach in so will fade them wherever you get them from .

Next relaxed skinnies...

Expensive, but J Brand 811s keep their colour and shape like MAGIC. Hideous price at full price but you might pick them up in the sales.

Uniqlo skinny jeans are amazing.They never bag and retain their colour really well.

LynetteScavo · 31/12/2014 18:01

Next are good, but Gap are even better. Very flattering.

River Island Amelie skinny. Excellent stretch but stay in shape. Mine have been worn and washed (non bio liquid - great tip!) still retain their shape and haven't faded. They come in black, indigo and lighter denim too I think.
