Where do you all buy your skinnies?

I desperately need some new jeans, skinnies I think, but don't know where to start & would like some recommendations.
The last pair I bought were from white stuff but I found they sagged quickly & have a hole in the knee. I'm not very good at shopping & tend to stick to the same things & have bought white stuff or fat face jeans for the last 10+ years & feel I need to try something else!
Thank you

Levi's 311 black skinnies are the only ones that seem to stay up on me. Expensive but worth every penny.

Gap and Sainsburys all slip down within minutes on me.

Topshop Leigh jeans are really lovely skinnies

Squashberry · 04/11/2016 13:49

I've been buying my skinnys recently from Matalan. Cheap, comfy and nice colours Smile

I'm a 13 but bought a 12 - bit snug when first on but them fit nicely and don't fall down later on.

M&s for cheap around & about. Nydj for night out jeans, a bit pricey but last year's.

HappinessLivesHere · 04/11/2016 14:43

I love next basic skinny jeans, leggings and enhancers. Always wash really well and keep their shape. Some of them I've had for years!

PollysPoppy · 04/11/2016 19:07

Thanks for the recommendations for black skinnies .... just ordered a pair of MIH from The Outnet (hadn't thought of there - thank you!) .... hope they fit!

rollonthesummer · 04/11/2016 19:10

Gap are good, as are Next Lift, slim and shape (or whatever it is they're called!).

Marks and Spencer's limited collection do a good super skinny.

mizu · 04/11/2016 20:16

Gap 1969 always skinny or true skinny.

Get all mine from eBay cheap as chips.

Shitonyoursofa · 04/11/2016 20:19

Topshop Leigh for me

Elegia · 04/11/2016 20:24

GAP fab quality last for ages and I am a very challenging shape to fit!

SesameSparkle · 04/11/2016 20:31

I've got topshop Jamies and jonis, love their high waists for holding everything in.

seasaltbaby · 05/11/2016 07:24

Thanks everyone, lots of good suggestions! Hoping to hit the shops later on today Wink

Another Top Shop Jamie jeans. I've been searching for a long time. I was a devoted M & S girl. They are high waisted and cling to you. I'm 52, 5ft 3 inches and very happy with them. Worth the £40.

IJustLostTheGame · 05/11/2016 09:10

High waisted stretch jeans from new look.
They hold everything in and up and are mega comfy.
I've had them nearly a year now and they haven't faded or sagged.
They are miles better than my previous topshop ones and much cheaper too.

Clairerandallfraserthe1st · 05/11/2016 09:15

I've got new look jeggings...they keep great shape and fit really well (I have big bum and thigh)
I've just bought asda wonderfit after recommendation from here.

TSSDNCOP · 05/11/2016 12:31

French Connection. Absolutely brilliant-as a PP said bit more expensive, but you'll go through several cheaper pairs by the time FC's even look a bit past it.

Letseatgrandma · 05/11/2016 12:56

I found top shop Jamie's didn't fit properly around the knees and the New Look jeans sagged after you'd worn them for a few hours.

Floisme · 05/11/2016 13:18

If I was buying skinnies now I'd go for second hand. I like them from around 10 years ago when they were more like straight legs/girlfriends and weren't overstuffed with lycra. At the moment I'm wearing Gap and French Connection, both from the back of my wardrobe but there are plenty in charity shops (even in mine which are dire).

MumboNumber5 · 05/11/2016 13:21

DP Eden. I tried George Wonderfit but was very underwhelmed.

CremeEggThief · 05/11/2016 13:24

Primark.

Tatlerer · 05/11/2016 13:28

J Brand (but expensive) or Lee Scarlett for me. 5 ft 4, size 8 with generous thighs/bum compared to my waist!

Littleallovertheshop · 05/11/2016 13:31

New look jeggings are amazing

tinymeteor · 05/11/2016 13:33

Gap. Get on their email list and you'll never pay full price again.

ByeByeLilSebastian · 05/11/2016 13:35

Topshop Leigh are so comfy.
