I have found the most amazing jeans ever....

Spent years searching: gap, next, m&s blah blah ....
I am size 10-12; small waist but big ole cycling legs.... nothing has ever fitted properly. Any pair that has looked half decent I have had to use a belt to gather up the excess and constantly hoik up.
But I have found Good American jeans (by one of the Kardashians) oh my bloody good- soft; comfortable; so so wonderfully flattering. Thank you - my search is over

Oooh. Link please? And are they super long (I have the small waist chunky legs thing but also short legs. Yay me).

Racmactac · 22/09/2017 20:44

Where do you get them from?

ScarletForYa · 22/09/2017 20:45

Are they horribly expensive, I have big legs and bum but small waist....?

confusedandemployed · 22/09/2017 20:46

Same shape here....link please!

SpinDry · 22/09/2017 20:46

Cricket, bit of a jump from next and m&s prices to Good American! Mega bucks.

MontalbanoFan · 22/09/2017 20:46

You are describing me, minipie Smile

Place marking for link.

SpinDry · 22/09/2017 20:47

Crikey... not Cricket! Hmm

Selfridges only-about &180!!!Shock

AnnoyedByAlfieBear · 22/09/2017 20:48

Just found them on the Selfridges. Nearly £200 and they're all skinny. No hope for my massive calves.

koalab · 22/09/2017 20:49

Oh, I'll stick to Asda's wonderful jeans that I discovered last week then Grin

koalab · 22/09/2017 20:50

Wonderfit, not wonderful. They are pretty good though.

Laiste · 22/09/2017 20:52

Next do me ok. Took me a while to find them. I like the high or mid rise ones. Each pair lasts me about 3 months.

I'd be bloody peeved if i paid £200 for a pair of jeans and then wore the inner thighs out Grin

MtbMagic · 22/09/2017 20:54

I got them (2 pairs!!!) from selfridges but they are utterly worth the money. I am 48 and have spent years not been comfortable in jeans.

You know that feeling at the weekend when you'd rather wear anything else but those Levi curve; gap 365 etc etc? Knowing that you aren't fat etc but just don't fit standard jeans .... Good American are as comfortable as leggings; but make you feel amazing !!!

I have massive calves ... think cycling calves, they fit beautifully ... I have struggled in the past with calves and jeans and have often felt like I am wearing baked bean cans on my legs... these are smooth; structured and comfortable

I've just discovered Next 360degree stretch skinnies- fab!!

imjessie · 22/09/2017 21:04

I'm an hour glass and they look like a great for but blimey they are high ! The girls look like they are wearing them under their arms !!

everythingsucks · 22/09/2017 21:04

They look really nice but I notice that the larger sizes are sold out. If I had the money I’d definitely try them.
However some of her other clothes.....Confused

WTAF???

NinonDeLenclos · 22/09/2017 21:07

J Brand are good - they do similar high waist skinny jeans.

NinonDeLenclos · 22/09/2017 21:08

Thx for the tip off.

NinonDeLenclos · 22/09/2017 21:09

I think Kanye must have had a hand in that lounge suit.

MtbMagic · 22/09/2017 21:09

Oh yes they are indeed high. Wonderfully high cos if you are small waisted ; pear shaped they bypass the waist and just fit... no gaps and bypassing the need to hoik up ... and I won't be wearing any crop tops 🤸🏻‍♂️

I suspect you're a lot more toned than me OP, I need thicker fabric to hold the squidgy bits of bum in. Sounds like these are quite thin stretchy fabric

minipie · 22/09/2017 21:15

High waisted is A Good Thing though, I agree
