Black stretchy skinny/straight jeans that don't fade??

I find black jeans the most flattering for me and wear them a lot even in spring / summer. Have her to come across any that don't fade. Is it possible to find some that stay black?

DH has Levi's that have stayed black but I don't find them flattering for me. I need high waist with stretch!

I've had my M&S ones for several yrs, wear them lots and they're still v v black

Also high waist and stretchy!

Stick them in the washing machine with a pack of black dylon twice a year. It works and is far cheaper, at £6.50, than buying new jeans. A single pack re-dyes two pairs of jeans and a T shirt or two, but not more.

I get New Look Dahlias in black. High waist, skinny leg, make your bum look great and a bargain at £24.99. They haven't faded so far and had them about 6 months. I got a pair in every colour they do.

Pricey but and/or from John Lewis are perfect and don’t fade - best £85 I’ve ever spent! Had them for a year now without a hint of fade.

@XingMing - I've dyed them before and it is good but find they still fade out again super fast. Maybe I'll give it another go.

@CremeDeSudo don't suppose you know the style name? I'll have a look online

Boden Trafalgar straight leg jeans in black.

They just say Jeggings on them. I'm surprised though as I don't generally like jeggings! They're zip and button up rather than pull ups, skinny and high waisted

What do you wash them in?

Wash inside out with colour powder and if you are line drying, dry inside out too.

White stuff are pretty good. I put them in a quick wash on a low temperature and have had minimal fading.

XingMing · 14/02/2019 20:38

Yes, to washing inside out and drying out of sunlight.

Fat face leggings are good and colourfast. I'm quite short though, so I don't think they'd be much cop if you're tall.
