Black bootcut jeans?

15 replies

CrowOnTheBroom · 11/09/2017 13:09

Where can I find some reasonably priced black bootcut jeans? I feel like they're the holy grail as the shops are full of skinnies.
I know people think bootcut is mumsy, but I've reached an age now when I know what suits me, and skinny jeans ain't on the list!
I'm a tall size 16/18.

M&S?

THanks, I'll investigate all these! The m&s ones are out of stock :-(

I really like Dorothy Perkins ones. Not too bootcutty and fit well. Ashley I think they're called.

M&S slim boot are amazing. Just waiting on my third pair to arrive. So comfy and flattering.

I like the DP ones too.

Are bootcuts back in fashion now?

Update: I've just bought some from Next, they're perfect! Thanks for all the suggestions, I'm sure the last time I tried to buy some I really struggled with the high street stores. Feel a bit daft now they're everywhere...

Yes, I'm the opposite as I hate bootcuts and couldn't find skinnies at all for over a decade!

I really wish that manufacturers would stock basic jeans shapes all the time (skinny, straight, boot cut, peg/tapered)

Some people will of course always buy what's most fashionable, but they stand to lose those who prefer to stick to the cut they like best and who will stop buying if they cannot find their preference.

You are so right AuntieStella!
We are all different shapes and sizes and it would be nice to have jeans available that reflect that! We're not all lithe 20-somethings after the latest trends. In fact, they're probably the minority compared to ALL the other women!

Miracle - they're the ones I bought!
