I haven't found a better fit than red herring at debenhams. I buy superskinny as my waist is bigger size wise than my legs but they fit like normal skinnies on me.

HelenF350 · 26/04/2015 06:47

Sainsbury's do the best skinniest I've found for apple shapes.

HelenF350 · 26/04/2015 06:47

Skinnies not skinniest, blooming autocorrect!

DirtyWeeRascal · 26/04/2015 06:59

Another vote for the Sainsbury's jeans, v flattering and comfy

Mango Alice jeans.

Stay away from AEO jeggings.

Also love Sainsbury's but they are not quite as long as I like/need. Have recently discovered Dorothy Perkins Eden's which I find are even better Smile

I second having a look in DP - also good for straight leg. I also like New Look high waist skinnies. They would be my first port of call.

HomeIsWhereTheHeartIs · 26/04/2015 07:38

DPs Eden jeggings amazing. I have3 pairs.

hollyisalovelyname · 26/04/2015 10:15

Thank you for all your suggestions.
I am looking for jeans rather than jeggings.

Topshop baxters - every time

I like H&M high waist skinnies. Keep their shape really well and have a bit of stretch.

PrimroseEverdeen · 26/04/2015 14:39

Abercrombie and fitch super skinny are great for apples and brilliant quality. Only go up to a 14 though.

I've also found Levi's Demi curve to be good.

Annarose2014 · 26/04/2015 17:10

Ooh yes second the Levi Demi Curves. They're also slightly more generous on the calf for those of us with those lovely Wayne Rooney legs.

Apple shape - that is large of waist ?

Looking with interest, I cannot wear jeans at the moment (scars) but they give me an unsightly muffin top .
Jeggings/leggings are difficult to find ones that don't roll down Hmm

ShebaQueen · 26/04/2015 17:31

Next! I am a typical apple and they are great

hollyisalovelyname · 27/04/2015 07:28

Sheba my Next skinnies fall down so I have to use a belt which then adds bulk to my waist ( muffin top ).
They are not high waisted enough for me.

I've got Oasis crop cherry and they're really nice, fairly high waist, thick but stretchy, cute turn ups at the bottom to balance me out a bit. Still never found jeans that don't slip down at all, but these are close. Out of stock in oasis but I got them from John Lewis.

flanjabelle · 27/04/2015 07:47

Op I have the same issue with next skinnies. They fit beautifully for the first half an hour then fall down Sad.
