Boyfriend jeans

Can any help in my search for a pair of flattering boyfriend jeans?

I'm so sick of skinnies but cannot go to mum jeans as both physically and style wise we are not meant to be together.

I love the look of the Hush ones but could hardly move in them when they arrived, weirdly tight in the wrong places and I could only walk like a robot. Boden ones look very frumpy.

Budget is generous as I'm desperate and I'm podgy size 12

Have you tried M&S and Tu? I’ve had good boyfriend jeans from both of those shops. Also Gap may be worth a try.

I got lovely ones from M&S. The £39.50 ones. They're really comfortable and a lovely soft denim.

I also find Hush (and Whistles) jeans tight in the wrong places but I'm tall with round hips (also size 12) and a smallish waist so they cut at the wrong point I think.

I've got some Guess boyfriend jeans which are a much better fit and have a bit more stretch in them. And I've had them years, so are worth the £££. Mint Velvet are another go to for me.

Baukjen, Boden ( try the relaxed straight too), hush have several styles have you tried Agnes style? To go up a level, frame, citizens of humanity, try arket, cos too? Levi's also.

Here you go, Graziadid a recent round up

I've got the M & S ones too and they are heavenly to wear! Love them.

There is a recent Levi’s 501 thread on here. That might be your solution

Yes, that's me too: rounder hips and fairly tall with a longer torso. Highwaists are really uncomfortable as I think they're cut wrong.

So, I've ordered some Gap options and then will work through the others.

I'll admit this is ridiculous but I'm not sure I can face M&S jeans....surely I haven't reached this stage in my life yet? My dad buys M&S jeans (granted not in a boyfriend cut!) Logically speaking I know I should at least give them a try before rashly discounting.

M&S jeans are great! Especially for the money and they're not frumpy at all. I've been wearing them for a few years now and was pleasantly surprised as I would have never considered shopping in there but they have some great items and they're a good quality.

Have a look at hollister jeans! I bought some online a few weeks ago to try and was really impressed, super soft (I hate rigid jeans) and had the perfect stretch in them. They're now my go to jeans and I've just ordered another pair yesterday. Providing this next pair are just as great as the first then I don't think I'd go anywhere else for jeans now Smile
They've also just brought out a curve range for people with bigger bum/hips and a smaller waist

I've had J Crew boyfriend jeans for around 3 years. Quality is great and fit well
