Any skinny jeans that are not too skinny on the calves?? I've tried both high rise boden and m&s jeggings wihout any luck! Need a size 10 just not too tight on the lower leg area.

You probably want to try a slim leg instead of a skinny.

yazzy85 · 14/09/2015 12:03

Gap do a nice pair of jeans in their Resolution Denim range called Slim Straight.

I usually buy Levis. The 712 is a slim fit.

Wallis- I can't wear skinny jeans either. I can wear Dorothy perkins' Eden high rise leggings or the Wallis skinny jeans that re more like leggings. Or straight jeans could be a good alternative.

I love Levis Demi-Curve ID. You can get them on Amazon. Very flattering if you have even a slightly hourglass shape going on. With me, for example, skinny jeans often won't go up my leg but the waist on a larger size will be way too big. Not so with these Levis which seem to perfectly mould to my shape. I hope they don't stop making them.

verenti · 14/09/2015 22:09

Brookville - they have stopped making the curve jeans. The 700 series are their new line.

ceeveebee · 14/09/2015 22:10

Next relaxed skinnies

FatFace contour slim

Actually it is the 800 series for curvy people.

Brookville · 14/09/2015 22:22

Verenti how dare they? Was I their only customer or something? I have just asked for some from the US. Hopefully there will be a few pairs knocking around the outlets. What's the 700 like?

verenti · 15/09/2015 07:09

I find they fit very well with no gap on the waist. I went to a Levis store and tried on a few different pairs.

yazzy85 · 15/09/2015 07:38

The Levi 712 look perfect but quite pricey for me. The Demi Curve are cheaper on Amazon so I've ordered a few of those to try for the moment. Thanks Smile

Levis always have offers on. I got 30% off mine. If you sign up for their newsletters they will let you know when they are coming up.

KanyesVest · 15/09/2015 10:28

Mango Alice. They are gorgeous although as I'm a shortarse, I have to turn mine up.

yazzy85 · 15/09/2015 14:27

Oh thank you for the tip verenti. They do look like the perfect style. Do you feel they come up true to size?

OP posts:
verenti · 16/09/2015 16:58

Yes I think they are true to size.

allchatnicknamesgone · 16/09/2015 17:25

Try uniglo.
Stretchy and mid rise. I have calves like a horse, but still pretend I can wear a skinny. This is the only skinny that fit me.
