Frame Jeans - are they worth the money?

Getting a lot of Instagram adds and am curious. They are £200+ but particularly curious about the ones that claim to cover several sizes in one. Their ‘size 2’ is apparently a uk 12-18 (1 is a 4-10/12) and as I’m losing weight (painfully slowly) at the moment and can’t face buying jeans in the size 16 I really need to I was intrigued.

I am ‘normally’ a 12 prior to the last 12 months when for a variety of reasons I’ve piled on the lbs.

Anyone bought them (these or the regular frame jeans) and what do you think?

I've never bought them but they often pop up on The Outnet for around £70 so worth checking there.

Great tip, thank you! I don’t particularly care if they are this seasons or last. Not sure if the sizing thing is new though

I have some from years ago, not familiar with the several size in one, they come up large IME. They really flatter my shape (classic hourglass, not a full one) and last well despite the stretch content. Yoox is also worth looking at.

I'm not familiar with them, but how can a pair of jeans possibly fit that wide a range of sizes while actually fitting properly?

Having tried various brands of jeans, the only ones I've found that I can pull over my hips and thighs and also sit snugly (not tightly on my waist), with no gaps when I mean forwards, are Levis.

I'm not a weird size, I'm a size 10-12 with normal female hips, but so many jeans seem to badly designed for the female shape.

No gaps when I lean forwards

Not sure, I guess they have a high elastic content...think leggings / yoga pants which also fit more than one size (I’m still squeezing into my medium sweaty bettys and I’m def not a 12 anymore)

But it’s a lot of money to spend without hearing first hand experience!

In my experience, jeans with a high elastic content go baggy and stop looking good fairly quickly.

I’ve tried many brands of jeans over the years but have just found my holy grail - M&S Magic!

I had some years ago too, so not familiar with the new one size fits all. But agree with @ReceptacleForTheRespectable jeans do not seem to be cut well for women. I always struggle to get a well fitting pair, same with trousers. I'm not a particularly difficult shape or size to fit,10-12, fairly straight and slim although carrying a lockdown tummy at the minute. Will give Levi's a go next in my never-ending quest to find the perfect fitting jeans! Wore them many years ago and remember liking them, so here's hoping 🤞
