Best bootcut jeans

I've decided to ditch the skinnies!
Where does good bootcut jeans? What other styles are good for an inverted triangle? I'm 5' 8".
TIA

Watching...
I'm 5'8" too. I used to absolutely live in Oasis Scarlet Bootcut jeans - a lovely navy colour and a wee bit of stretch - but with them going into receivership I'm stuck. I prefer a 33" leg which is also hard to find.

I'm tempted to try Next. I've had success from them in the past.

I used always to buy skinnies from Gap, but I can't be bothered fighting with their crap website to look at bootcuts.

Oh I love Gap mid-rises at the moment! I used to like River Island too.

I've dug out my old River Island and New Look ones. I had a quick look for new ones but most seemed have just under the armpit waistbands whereas I prefer them low on my hips.

Mini bootcut from H&M. I'm 5'9 and they're long enough. I like the big square pockets. Cheap and comfy, light or dark with no embellishments or rips.

Slim boot from good old M&S.
I have a stockpile in case they stop making them

Abercrombie and Fitch do the best bootcut jeans - I’m around your height OP but obviously have short legs as I get their regular leg not the longer one. So glad I got the recommendation on her a while ago.

I look dreadful in mine which I kept. What shoes make them look less awful. It is it my frumpy demeanour that drags them down?

ScorpioSphinxInACalicoDress · 17/08/2020 22:14

Chelsea boots, that sort of thing.
Not flats or loafers.

KedsAndTubeSocks · 18/08/2020 07:06

Are they old @polkadotpjs? I think the shape has changed quite a bit, they are narrower in the thigh now. Less flappy.

My faves are the M&S ones. I appreciate that they do them in short sizes also.

Next enhancer bootcut jeans.

I recently dumped skinny jeans and found monsoon bootcuts, they are gorgeous, I’m hippy, (big hips) so they suit my figure really well and I don’t feel as big in them

BurtsBeesKnees · 18/08/2020 07:27

Another vote for m&s, I bought a pair of dark blue, slim bootleg, with waist, shape enhancer and they are so flattering (and comfy)

KedsAndTubeSocks · 19/08/2020 09:48

I shall try m&s first.....as soon as they get some stock in!

Gap boot cut. I don't have any problem with their website, apart from the fact that I couldn't find underwear in their menu anywhere and had to search for individual items. Was a bit weird.

CallarMorvern · 19/08/2020 09:54

Someone mentioned M&S, but I'm finding their jeans ridiculously high rise atm and I'm tall with a long torso 🤷 I didn't think I'd ever use the words too high rise.

Could be worse.

Bwlch 😆 It feels a bit like that sometimes!

Jacob Cohen 710. They are outrageously expensive, so much that I buy them only on sale (70% sale...).
But I have had them for 7 years and they are perfect
