Boo... my most favourite jeans ever just ripped..... 😥

Next Sexy Slim Leg

The rip is around the edge of the fly seam into the crotch. It’s obvious, and irreparable.

The most flattering jeans on me ever.... Not too skinny, not too baggy. Not been made for about 5 years I don’t think. My last few pairs have been from eBay, but even those seem to have dried up in my size.

It is a sad day. I hate all the leg work that goes into finding new jeans.

Hit me with your flattering jeans for heavy thighed, chunky calved pears. Not skinnies! No rips or studs please.

I'm a similar shape and just bought some Levi slim 712s. First pair of jeans I've been really happy with for a long time!

I used to wear next sexy slim jeans, I still have a couple lying around.

What I moved onto because they have a lot of give are Uniqlo skinny jeans. I never thought skinnies would look good on me but these are great because of the stretch.

Fabulous. Thank you, I will look at both those. Don’t think I’ve worn Levi’s since I was a teenager (30 years ago).

I'm beyond excited bike I have just got my collection of pre skinny style jeans from the back of the cupboard incl your next sexy slim jeans and they all still fit and will be wearable. And god do they feel comfortable.

One style I have are GAP resolution slim straight 1969 which are the same as your beloved next sexy slim jeans.

The Levi 712 look perfect, they are now on my to buy list.

Tantpoke. I’ve tried those Gap ones. The fabric is thicker, they don’t sit right on me. I ended up eBaying them.

They are a bit too worn out so probably won't last long otherwise I'd offer to send them to you, they are a size 16.

It was my first pair of Levi's since I was a teenager! I really like them. I used to really like gap real straight, but they changed the cut and my last pair have been on their last legs for ages so I had to bite the bullet and go try on some alternatives.

BikeRunSki · 08/04/2018 13:08

Ah thank you Tantpoke big they’d be a bit big.

The Levi’s look promising.

Similar issue, my favourite jeans which I picked up from TK-Maxx have ripped slightly. It's by the ankle so can wear them day to day for a while yet but need some non-ripped ones. Looked up the brand online and they're £££££ so need alternatives. Used to love levis so will take a look at those.

I'm a Gap curvy boot girl, which you can rarely get. I've been looking for black jeans forever & accidentally found some in Bon Marche last week. They so nice & cheap too.

Dandellion · 08/04/2018 18:23

I find Gap Real Girlfriend jeans very flattering. Mid rise waist, with a very fitted but definitely not skinny right leg.

I have a few pairs of Lucky Brand Sweet Straight which have replaced my Gap Real Straight pairs. They do various different weights of denim, with and without stretch. Really comfy.
