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!!

My size 20 friend has some really nice skinny jeans from Simply Be.

I'm a size 22 but have slim legs, a small bum and narrow hips, skinny jeans are much more flattering than boot cut or straight leg.

Asos curve are good for jeans and I have a lovely new pair of Tu skinnies.

Can I just thank you for this thread. I'm 6ft2 and size 24 and love a decent pair of skinny jeans. After seeing everyone's recommendations for Asda I popped down there this morning and I am so impressed with my wonderfit jeans. They're lovely.

Ive got some stretch ones from Yours and some lovely soft jeggjns from m and s outlet for only 15 quid, they had loads of colours jn them too

I like Dorothy Perkins Eden jeggings, and usually a discount code around!

happymumof4crazykids · 07/07/2017 20:40

I can't get any that fit my legs in order for them to fit my waist and bum that are about 6 sizes too big on my legs! I end up with masses of material around my knees and calves and ankles. I've given up tbh!

The Asda ones are fab, so are Sainsbury's. Both good for those with larger stomach and slim legs like me!

Ollivander84 · 07/07/2017 20:44

I can't remember what size they go up to but I love m&s ones and Dorothy Perkins Eden jeggings

Ollivander84 · 07/07/2017 20:46

They do them in other colours if you click where it says other colours. Up to a 22 but I'm linking as you need to try them on as their sizing is so variable and they tend to come up big (I sized down)

Thank you! Looks like I'll be spending some money on a variety of options!!

even though I'm apparently too fat for them to look good

I was until recently a size 24 and wore skinny jeggins as my legs have always been my best feature. I get lots of compliments on them. ( I've just lost 6 st) so I know plus size girls CAN look good in skinnies. Anyway I used to get mine in M&S but sainsburys do amazing quality ones. Not sure if 22 is the biggest size they do though.

I bet you look you are sexy as hell with that attitude OP [fistbump] I take a 16 or 18 on jeans depending on the shop and I love my skinnies! I'm thick, i have an 11inch waist to hip difference and thighs that can crack skulls Wink I'm not going to try and hid that fact with my choice of legwear because a) it's impossible and b) because why the hell would I? Curvy legs and bums look great in well fitting skinnies!

From personal experience (size 22) have struggled with Sainsburys but as I said from a couple of tries! Maybe I'm just the wrong shape for Sainsbury's?! But yes I have about 5/6 pairs of trousers/leggings/jeggings from Asda/Yours and M&S they are comfy and make you look great IMO!! Hope you find some ❤️
