Plus size skinny jeans

Help!

I'm on the hunt for the elusive skinny jeans that fit my legs and are still skinny at the ankle!

I'm a size 24...loved Matalan's jeggings (thick, looked ace and fitted perfectly) but they've changed the fabric and now they're absolutely shit!

I want tight, skinny jeans (or jeggings) that are snug at the ankle and thigh (I fucking hate baggy thighs!!), feel like they properly fit and preferably not low slung

TIA!!

George at Asda do fab ones. They are called 'Wonder Lift' or something similar.
Very stretchy and stay tight.

Skinny jeans and plus size don't go together!

I'm not judging by the way, I am size 20 but skinny jeans look ridiculous on bigger ladies

StupidSlimyGit · 07/07/2017 00:05

Yours have some amazing jeggings, the first time in years I've found ones that actually feel like denim but that bit of stretch just helps the fit.
Oh and I think as long as they fit properly you are never too big for skinny jeans, when they fit right they can most slimming and flattering.

Have a look at M&S - I've been really impressed with their plus size jeans, although I don't do skinny myself.

Here is their choice of size 24 jeans/jeggings

Yes, you are judging. That is a clear example of judging, and also of talking out of one's arse.

I actually meant I'm not judging the OP for being a size 24. But god yes fat people in skinny jeans look ridiculous.

RickOShay · 07/07/2017 08:00

No they don't. It really is you not them.

pollyhampton · 07/07/2017 08:01

I got some really good high waisted ones in Debenhams, think they were Red Herring 'curvy' range or something, really flattering and comfortable.

SorrelSoup · 07/07/2017 08:04

A lot of plus size women have very slender, toned legs. My legs are lumpy bumpy at size 16. We're all different.

afromom · 07/07/2017 08:05

Another vote for George at Asda. They have them in a range of colours, they are cheap and have started doing ones with buttons now too, although I prefer the elastic waistband ones as they are less faff!

FiveShelties · 07/07/2017 08:05

Migraleve - I think it is shape, not size which makes people look ridiculous in skinny jeans. I am a size 12 and look really awful in skinny jeans - I have fat legs and cannot get into size 12 skinny jeans. To fit my thighs I would probably need a 16 and then the bum and waist would look bizarre.

LittleCandle · 07/07/2017 08:06

Simply Be have great plus size skinny jeans. I especially like the Lucy jeans.

BadToTheBone · 07/07/2017 08:07

Tu at Sainsbury's are great too.

lilydaisyrose · 07/07/2017 08:08

Another vote for George at Asda - Wonderlift or just their normal George range, can't go wrong for £12!

TheHiphopopotamus · 07/07/2017 08:08

ASOS jeggings are quite good. Got some black ones last year and they were great.

Try the ASOS Curve range.

muckypup73 · 07/07/2017 08:11

Migraleve I agree, same with crop tops and short skirts.

BadToTheBone · 07/07/2017 08:16

I have seen some larger ladies rock skinny jeans, leggings, crop tops and mini skirts. I don't notice if they don't really suit them, who lives their life in a constant judgement of others, god they must be miserable shits!

LottieDoubtie · 07/07/2017 08:16

Another vote for yours jeggings. They converted me from believing I looked shite in skinny jeans to accepting the inevitable Grin

Well according to another thread, fat people shouldn't wear leggings so maybe I should just start a thread on where to get the best MooMoo....or I could just wear what I damn well please and people can stop judging others on ridiculous things....

I didn't know Asda even went up to my size! I've got a couple of pairs in my basket to try!
I'll be near a Yours later so I'll pop in and try a pair!
And I've ordered some from ASOS curve!

Will check out the others!

Thank you x

That's a bit ! heavy isn't it!

I think skinny jeans look good if your legs are a certain shape, rather than size. They don't look great on me, even though I'm slim, because I just don't have enough junk in the trunk Grin

I think jeans are something it is worth spending more money on, the more pricey ones seem to give support in the right places. I know there is a plus size shop called Yours near me that do quite nice clothes for bigger ladies.

How do the Asda ones come up size wise? I don't want them too tight in the waist but I don't want them to loose in the thigh?

Am currently heading to Yours!
