I can afford one pair of jeans only - what should they be?

[codandchipstwice]

Have gone from 14st 2 to 11 5(5ft 7) but currently have still another stone and a half to go. I've outgrown all my 14 jeans but am not sure I'm quite a 12 yet.

Have decent bum, legs and hips but big tummy - want something straight/slim - not too boyfriend or mumsey.

Have no more than £40 and no idea where to start has up til now bought pretty much all my clothes from Sainsburys.

Thanks

i've got a few pairs of jeans from sainsbury's which i like - but i'm no fashion expert. if you aren't going to be using them for long, they are cheap

M&S do the nicest jegging style jeans (that aren't actually jeggings) in 15 different colours!

Forgot the link here

Jeans wise I find Boden don't go baggy after a few hours wear. Very comfy and flattering.

I also have discovered John Rocha range from Debenhams also resist baggy status. They are about £30 a pair.

I'm a jeans addict, got Levis, Wranglers, Lee etc but my favourites are a pair I got from Lidls! They're Esmara Emily's, I think they come up a bit small, I'm a 12, and the jeans are a 14, non stretch, straight leg, and have that nice worn in look and feel. Another brand I like are Moto.
I buy most of my clothes from charity shops though.

I hot some nice dark blue ones from matalan for £10

I've gone from 15.11 to 11.0 and have bought lots of temporary jeans on the way. Next seem to suit me but I have a smaller waist and big hips. I buy the slim fit and they're £20. Smart enough to wear for a night out. Buy them when they're so tight you can barely do them up though!!

My favourite jeans are 7 for Mankind. They're from about £150 in the shop but so worth it. I can't afford that price now so I buy them from eBay. You can usually get a pair for £20!

i like M&S too. Boden's weren't great - fit wasn't right as i've got small hips and a big waist - sent the ones i got in the sale to the jumble in the end

Thanks all - I find Boden a terrible fit on me - all hip and no waist. Next are better too, I just get so overwhelmed with the choice!

I like the Marks one too that pp listed - I'll have a look there as well

I am terrible at buying jeans that fit properly!
I do like M&S jeggings, love the velvet ones for winter but I like wide leg for summer and they all either cling or bag on the wrong places!

I'm the same height and a size 12/14. My favourite jeans are Toast straight leg (£100 normally, but £40 in sale) and Primark skinnies. I hated my Sainsbury jeans, washed very badly and they are quite high polyester content and bobbled after a few weeks.

Dotty ps 16 quid jeans

15 pound jeans. They have really improved as about five years ago I bought some and had to stop wearing them as they were not great in terms of going baggy. The latest pair bought a few months back have not stretched at all.

Gap Always Skinny are great - they have high waisted too which is good for wobbly tummies. 30% off today.

I like Gap slim straight and girlfriend. I'm a similar shape to you but you're taller and both these are flattering

Topshop joni jeans!

I love the straight regular ones from H&M: www.hm.com/gb/product/87248?article=87248-A

I'm a similar shape to you (though a bit bigger) and find Next Relaxed Skinny - £26 - brilliant. Need to go down a size or two as they come up very big. I find I have to wear a belt with them as although they do fit, they seem to work their way down - but don't let that put you off! I used to wear Gap Always Skinny but find these a bit less tight-fitting and more flattering. (PS Well done on the weight loss!)

new look high waisted super skinny! Simply fab, and never fall down or go baggy

My fave jeans are from Asda- they're super comfy, flattering and cost me about a tenner!

another vote for matalan - really nice and very cheap

M&S jeggings were rubbish quality - had a few pairs and they didn't last long.
Currently got J Brand - £60 from TK Maxx and loving them so far - so comfy and fit like a glove. Only had them a couple of weeks so can't comment on how long they last.
