Jeans ... again!

Can anyone recommend some very stretchy high waisted straight or straightish jeans?

I've tried so many different ones, none seem right. I like M&S Indigo straights but they've not enough stretch. Jeggings are all too skinny. Many aren't long enough... I'm only 5 foot 7 but fairly long legs, regular usually aren't long enough.

Preferably black or dark blue.

Ok don't laugh but I got some high rise slim legs from Tesco the other day. 16 quid and came in a few colours. I am a short arse but even the short length wasn't overly short so regular or long would be fine.

The only thing is they aren't super stretchy. They are quite thick denim which does give and stretch a bit so maybe worth a look?

Come up big though - I need a belt on the 12s and am usually a comfortable 12/14

I've just bought M&S skinny (not super skinny). They are pretty much straight leg on me. I've got 31" legs and the long fits.

I like GAP jeans. They do lots of different styles and fits and often have really good discounts (30% off full price). Last years as well.

No one seems to do really stretchy ones though.

Try the 'frankie' style at Dorothy Perkins. They are stretchy and quite high waisted

I tried some on in Oasis - very stretchy and about a foot too long for me! Maybe too skinny though.

Try the Joni style from topshop! I've got a few pairs in various different colours and they are amazing (I can tuck all my wobbly bits in) and they provide quite a nice silhouette!

I'm 5'10 and have just bought some straight leg jeans from Sainsburys. They come in short, regular and long, the long was just right for me, and they have a decent amount of stretch. Total bargain at £15 plus the current 25% offer is running too. Now I just need to figure out what shoes to wear with them after years of wearing skinnies.

Try Sainsburys straight leg jeans, they have good stretch, come in three lengths and are only £15. I'm 5'10 and the long are a good length on me. Now I just need to figure out what shoes to wear with them after years in skinnies - any tips?

Well I don't know what happened there! My post disappeared so I redid it and now there are two!
