Best blue skinnies for a short curvy person

I usually get M&S Autograph skinnies, bu they appear to have stopped doing them. I want a mid to high rise and a nice mid blue denim. Any ideas, please? £60 tops.

Haven't tried Gap yet. After John Lewis and House of Fraser I was too depressed to go anywhere else except Benefit, where no trying on was required! Will try to get to Gap at the weekend.

Did you try the Jamie jeans at TopShop?

Try Uniqlo, they alter the length for you.

French Connection rebound skinny jeans are fantastic if you are curvy. Not too thin or elastic-y. Usual size works for me.

Thanks.

Haven't been to Topshop yet. Have had Jamies in the past and they used to gape at the back, but I'm a different shape now.

We only have a tiny FC concession and I've never seen jeans in it.

Years ago (before I was as curvy as I am now!), I went to a Levi shop who suggested I try their curvy jeans. I think they were called Demi curve but I'm not sure. They were a great fit. I think they have now rebranded and are called something else but it is worth checking a Levi store if there is one near you.

Hate jeans shopping. On a par with shopping for swimwear.

Went to a small M&S to buy bread today, and came out with two pairs of jeans! One pair the basic super skinny ones for £22.50 and one pair of Autograph black skinnies in the sale (I love the latter but they fade horribly - however, for £16 I decided it was worth buying them anyway). Both fit me better than any of the 27000 odd pairs I tried on yesterday.

I now refuse to try another pair of jeans on for at least a year!

Time for Tea - I also tried bras on yesterday. Trying on jeans and bras simultaneously was hideous. I should have known better.

Not bras and jeans together! It's enough to put you off shopping forever ... Just realised that they seem to be the things I most often have to buy. I'm going wrong somewhere. Glad you are sorted

Some of the 5 pocket jeggins are still the same just re branded as skinny jeans. The fabrics differ a lot though.

RemusLupinsBiggestGroupie · 28/07/2017 17:08

I still need bras. :( Sob.

Agree re the fabric. The proper mid blue denim ones are generally reliable. The others, far less so.
