Black jeans that aren't stretchy

3 replies

Can any of you fashionistas help me please? I’m looking for some black jeans (or charcoal grey?) that aren’t stretchy. Maybe a 5% elastane at a push. I’d like a straight leg, slim but not skin tight; I have a lovely pair of joules blue ones that fit beautifully and I roll them up at the bottom but all black jeans seem to be stretch fabrics. Is this just the norm with black? I’ve tried H&M, RI, next, Fat Face, TU, plus loads of others. Plus any I see in charity shops.

I am turning into that strange lady that goes round all the shops and just lightly pulls the legs of all the jeans without ever trying them on...!!

Thanks in advance!

In fact, strike that, even 5% elastane is too stretchy (I’ve just checked my others upstairs!)

G star do really good ones. They are a bit pricey (though they do good sales) but the last really well so I think are worth the extra. I've got a black pair I've been wearing for 5 years that still look pretty new.

Quodlibet thanks, do they have any stretch at all? I don’t know why but with black every pair with elastic just seems to hang really oddly on me.

I’ve just found some Levi ones that appear to be 100% cotton too, but they are pricey for Ebay.
