Next Skinny Jeans

16 replies

CookieDoughKid · 02/01/2016 00:57

I'm usually a size 10 in jeans but sometimes an 8. However, I found Next skinny jeans (petites) run really small!! I had to buy their size 12. I think it's the fact I'm more pear shaped with athletic thighs :(
Is it just me or can anyone else over 30 able to fit into Next skinny jeans comfortably?

I wear their high waisted ones ..two buttons at the waist. The 'lift slim and shape' ones are true to size.. I'm a standard ten and they fit brilliantly. I'm 48 and not superfit but have a wide backside and they cover it nicely.

I absolutely love Next's skinny legging jeans and am currently rotating three identical pairs Blush I'm an over-30 size 8 and find their 8L fits fine. The only problem is that they go baggy quite quickly but then they would if I'm wearing them every single day

I'm usually a 12 and i have size 8 in the next skinny jeans. I think their sizing is just very inconsistent! Love my size 8 jeans though... Even if i know its not really true!

I find their standard jeans come up large but that their lift, shape and slim are true to size. I get an 8 in standard but a 10 in the lift ones.
It will depend on your body shape though and might be worth you looking elsewhere as others may fit better.

Anything relaxed is oversized by about two sizes.
I did find when I bought their most recent plain black skinny jeans that they are sized very small for Next so it isn't you.

littleleftie · 02/01/2016 11:25

Yep, same as Crevice the black skinny jeans are a size smaller than the indigo ones. Makes you scream!

I've been trying various next jeans in the tall range and they all after a few hours wear sag terribly at the knees!

It's so frustrating. They are practically unwearable. I'm trying an 18 as I'm sure the 16 would just be that bit too small, but 18 seems a little big. I don't have many jean buying options as I need the tall cut.

I'm over 40. I'm an 8, my Next skinny jeans are a size 6. By lunchtime I can take them on and off without undoing them. Next sizes are ridiculous and unreliable.

Their sizes are shocking. I got the 2 button lift and shape ones. I got a pair of straight leg and a pair of skinny. One are a 10 and the other are a 12!

CookieDoughKid · 02/01/2016 16:06

Ah. Glad it's not just me then. To be fair, I have worn regular straight leg jeans in past and was a consistent size 10 then (and I was heavier!). But their jeans, even the same cut can be so different in sizing bought again 6 months later!!

Found the same with the petite range skinny jeans - also had to buy a 12 when normally size 8-10. They've lasted and washed well though - better than the non petite ones I bought!

Next sizing is really inconsistent - I could never buy online as would end up taking most of it back!

CookieDoughKid · 02/01/2016 16:27

mumsnit I think its also the fabric. It's not so forgiving!

You could take 3 of the same size and style into the fitting room and find they're all different.

Whathaveilost · 02/01/2016 19:12

I am a just about 14. I'm 50 and I have 4 pairs of next skinless 3 in a 12 and 1 in a 14. They al look the same on!
I love them though.

They're better shaped for apples.
