Please recommend me some skinny jeans under £40

Am a size 8-10, 5ft 3. Have skinny calves but normal size thighs and a c-section hangover could possibly just be muffin top so would like a mid rise.

I don't like Next as have spent a fortune there only for the jeans to be about 10 sizes bigger after a few washes.

Any high street recommendations that I can try on?

New Look Supersoft super skinny are great. They're about £20.

crappyday · 20/02/2015 15:00

I like the m&s super skinny or jeggings.

grumpasaur · 20/02/2015 15:01

Definitely oasis. Great skinny jeans and they don't stretch it look like mommy jeans

MsBojangles · 20/02/2015 15:03

River Island Amelias
Asos Ridleys

grumpasaur · 20/02/2015 15:04

I also find river island stretches like crazy

Catswiththumbs · 20/02/2015 15:14

Topshop Jamie are my favourite skinny jeans (denim). I also like the Joni jeans which are more like jeggings and more high waisted.

pinksparklynails · 20/02/2015 15:27

Dorothy Perkins are amazing!! £22 xx

MrsTShelby · 20/02/2015 16:01

Thanks all, am near to most these shops so will have a look.

crappy are the M&S jeggings still good? I missed the boat when they were really popular and recently have seen people saying they are no longer as good as they were?

MsBojangles do you get the Asos Ridley high waisted or just normal?

Bizarrely my favourites are from Sainsbury, the Gok Wan ones, £28 and often a 25% off promotion.

hollyangel · 20/02/2015 16:05

Try the Dorothy Perkins Eden jeggings-am always recommending them here, but they're high at the top and pull everything in, tummy and muffin top!

Zebda · 20/02/2015 16:08

I second m&s super skinny (note the jeans not the jeggings). They have a buttock-lifting shaping effect and I have no issues getting them over my mum-tum. Just bought some really nice ones with patches on the knees, quite edgy for m&s I thought! I am 8-10 also by the way

Pointlessfan · 20/02/2015 16:09

I like the Gok Wan ones from Sainsburys too. I have a pair of the skinnies and a pair of the jeggings - wear them both loads, they wash really well and very good value.

nooyearnooname · 20/02/2015 16:18

TopShop Leigh...supersoft and tummy covering!

MsBojangles · 20/02/2015 18:16

I think they're all pretty high waisted, that's the style of the Ridley - size up if you're going for black, they're much smaller.

bonzo77 · 20/02/2015 18:22

Another one for New Look. Great washes, stretchy but not saggy. Not very high rise but not hipsters. I'm 5ft2 and they waist is about 3 cm below my belly button.

waddleandtoddle · 20/02/2015 18:46

French Connection are great too - always have your size in the sale. I've just got the eleven pocket navy rinse and they are amazing. Used FC for years and they never fade! You'd have to role them up though.

DeathMetalMum · 20/02/2015 18:53

New look for me too. I'm a size 8-10 also with average/large thighs in comparison and really like new look. The waist isn't high but high enough. I can't wear river island their size 8 are far too small but size 10's fall down after a few wears/washes.

mummybare · 20/02/2015 18:56

I have New Look high rise ones that I'm living in at the moment. They're great and good value too.

RemusLupinsBiggestGroupie · 20/02/2015 18:58

I like the M&S jeggings in the really pale blue and the black. The others are not as good.

MrsTShelby · 20/02/2015 19:08

Right tomorrow I will do a New Look, Topshop and M&S sweep! What is Marks & Spencer sizing like?

Will also order some Asos Ridleys as they seem to get a lot of time on blogs.

the stretchy m&s jegging things for £22.50, so very comfy and soft

Wineloffa · 20/02/2015 20:10

Monsoon Nadine skinny jeans are gorgeous. High waist, lovely soft material, great fit. I own four pairs!

Wineloffa · 20/02/2015 20:11

I have some lovely New Look ones too!

GoodSouls · 20/02/2015 20:24

Another one for Gok Wan @ Sainsburys skinnies too, I've got 3 pairs, they are a great colour, just the right amount of stretch and there is 25% off at the momentGrin
