Please can you recommend me some jeans?

Have been wearing the same 14L Boden indigo skinny jeans for several years - have had quite a few pairs as I wear them most of the time I'm not in work and they get a lot of wear and tear.

New pair arrived today and the bloody sizing has changed - they are identical to the pair I took off except the waist is a couple of inches narrower and that makes them unwearable (unless I want to team with a tent on top and restrict my breathing). And they're a bit shorter - less of a problem with the style of jeans but honestly Johnnie Boden stop fiddling with the bloody sizing!

I haven't bought jeans from anywhere else for years - any ideas where to try please?

They're 'skinny' but not really tight, and I'm 5'10'' so need to be available in approx 33'' inside leg.

I've got a really nice pair of sculpt and lift jeans from m and s I'm 23 and get complimented on them

Thanks Beans have taken a look at those but unfortunately they don't have them in a dark indigo.

I am a huge fan of New Look's high waisted jeans. They come in a nice deep indigo. They are hugely flattering, not high waisted in a seventies-revival way, just in a muffin covering way.

They really really rock.

Try another boden pair in case it was just a faulty pair?

I'm seriously in love with my newly found lift and shape skinnies from next. They do long length too. Best jeans I've ever owned - multiple washes and the colour hasn't faded and they're still 'skinny'

Nudie High Kai - High waist, long leg and skinny. Just recommended them on another thread

I think Boden waist sizes have got smaller too. I took off a perfectly fitting Boden skirt to try on a new one in the same size and could only just zip it up, it was so tight.

M&S has some great looking skinnies in atm.

I am also a 14L and disillusioned with Boden.

I picked up some jeans in a chatiry shop yesterday and they fit perfectly. I looked at the label and they are from Primark! Fabric is a good weight too.

I also really, really like Toast jeans, but in the sale!!

Thanks everyone I will start looking at your suggestions.

Gap have some nice jeans at the moment as well.

Also definitely think something funny is going on with Boden waist sizes, I had to send back a skirt because I couldn't do it up, even though it was the same size (ostensibly) as a skirt of theirs I have that fits perfectly.
