I just ordered some!! I am 5ft 5 and ordered a regular. The reviews say they are cut very small so I ordered a 14 rather than a 12.

I will be wearing them with trainers or Birkenstocks.

Will update as soon as I receive them.

Bootcuts are so unflattering. Wide at the top...wide at the bottom....skinny in the middle.Unless you are long and leggy, they just look bad and accentuate the bulbous bits

lockdownalli · 15/07/2020 21:11

I think it's just that different jeans suit different body shapes.

I have relatively skinny legs and feel they balance me out nicely Smile

I love m&s jeans have around 6 different pairs from jeggings to boyfriend jeans.

I'm going to order short and go up a size , will update how they fit.

I'm your height and always get medium, but I am large of thigh 😊 so maybe that takes up the length a bit. Short length always looks just that bit odd.

Ponks · 15/07/2020 22:29

PS in general the M&S jeans are great quality for the price, I love the relaxed slim.

Scattyhattie · 16/07/2020 16:47

M&S denim is nice & feels thick compared to most, i ended up with sienna's.

Are the bootcuts now still as wide as years ago or just a bit of a flare to indeed accommodate a boot underneath which was useful in winter.

GrimDamnFanjo · 16/07/2020 17:42

I'm the same height and wear short.

Oly4 · 16/07/2020 20:49

Another M&S jeans fan, I love the Harper

princessTiasmum · 17/07/2020 10:21

I love M&S jeans /trousers,as i am ony 5ft tall and can't get short enough anywhere else that are nice enough,
Although their short ones are not as short as they used to be
I haven't seen any bootcut ones,must go and have a look

OP, probably too late, but Marks and Spencer jeans are usually generous.

I think bootcuts can be very flattering. It's the cropped ones that look s*ite on me.

DivisionBelles · 17/07/2020 17:45

I've got the Lilly straight leg ones. They are good quality and quite flattering on my short chunky legs.

lockdownalli · 17/07/2020 17:47

So I received the bootcut Eve jeans today. As a reminder I am 5ft 5, and also bought the Siena straight jeans recent;y which fit me perfectly in a size 12. I would be a 12/14 elsewhere.

The Eve fit perfectly size 14R and are exactly the right length for me to wear with trainers or sandals (or low boots) I got the dark indigo colour and it's exactly what you would expect.

Amazing value for the price. The only thing I would change would be to have them slightly tighter on the thigh, like their old slim bootcut.

wifflewafflebiscuit · 17/07/2020 17:50

Short for 5 3

polyhymnia · 17/07/2020 18:07

A serious query: what are ‘relaxed slim’ jeans actually like? Have often heard the term but not tried the jeans and don’t know if it’d be worth it. Presumably they’re wider than skinnies ( which I wear), but how much wider and are they ‘baggy’ at all? Are they like ‘mom’ jeans?

I have the marks lily I suppose you could say they are a relax skinnies, or a relax slim, still a skinnie but not so tight if you know what I mean.

motherofgod2 · 17/07/2020 18:53

I used to have the relaxed slim. They're kind of like boyfriend jeans, really nice soft denim. You'd need to size down, their other jeans I feel are true to size but for some reason these are huge.

NotMeNoNo · 17/07/2020 21:57

I've just bought some Sienna (straight) I'm 5.3 and they are the right length to wear with a small roll hem.
Bootcut are great but I'm not quite ready to go there.

CallarMorvern · 18/07/2020 11:59

I have a pair of relaxed slim, they are pretty much like boyfriends, but maybe slightly more fitted, nice to roll over for summer. I bought the same size as the Lily style. The Lily ones are way too high waisted though and I'm 5'10" with a long torso 🤷 I struggle to find a decent slim/skinny midrise and I didn't think I'd ever say that

PurpleDaisies · 18/07/2020 16:34

I’ve got a pair of sienna straight in pale grey that I wear all the time. They’re really comfy and very flattering.

JeanMichelBisquiat · 18/07/2020 16:40

Sienna straight are amazeballs - really good quality!

Villanemme · 18/07/2020 16:54

I love my Lilys! Bought two more pairs at the weekend. I thought the regular came up longer than normal that was my only criticism.
