Has anyone bought the Boden slim jeans...or are there any other flattering dark denim straight cuts out there?

Hi, have begun to feel frumpy in my boot cuts, would like some straighter cut but really dark denim jeans for spring. Would like a lightweight denim in a really dark blue with a bit of stretch in it. Saw some nice Great Plains ones in a local shop (in size 8 ) but they are not on the website. The Boden ones look OK but not sure. I'm 5'8" and a size 14 bottom half (but getting smaller!)

I think it's about time Mumsnet negotiated a 15% discount - surely we must generate about as much traffic on their site as the Sunday Times?

Another one for Gaps jeans.

I got their skinnys the other week and they are fab.
They fit perfectly.

OrvilleRedenbacher · 31/03/2007 08:48

yes and arent skin tight

Rantum · 31/03/2007 08:52

You are brave Aloha - I am a 12 but I have hips and I look hideous in slim jeans - wish I could wear them cos they look really smart are the gap ones better for people with a more "hourglass" figure or should I just keep avoiding them altogether?

OrvilleRedenbacher · 31/03/2007 08:53

have you tried gap skinnies
are really misnamed - are straight leg jjeans

Rantum · 31/03/2007 08:57

Orville - no I usually steer clear of anything that says skinny on it . But I'll definitely give them a go next time I'm shopping!

OrvilleRedenbacher · 31/03/2007 08:58

go and if they are too tight get the next size up
REMEMEBR gap asistants are on comission so be relly pathetic and aks for help

OrvilleRedenbacher · 31/03/2007 08:58

( it sme cod)

florenceuk · 31/03/2007 13:39

so are the Bodens lower than the Gap skinnies in the waist?

OrvilleRedenbacher · 31/03/2007 13:52

lordy yes and i haev a very short waist

florenceuk · 31/03/2007 16:24

interesting - have the Gap ones in "3-yr wash" but wanted something darker and the Gap dark straight legs are actually too skinny.

OrvilleRedenbacher · 31/03/2007 16:47
