Skinny jeans that are tight around the knees!

I’ve been on an endless search for these for years. I find a perfect pair, buy a second pair which last me a year or two then they’re discontinued! I think because they have quite a high elastane composition, they probably don’t last as long as a pair with maybe a higher cotton % would.

Has anyone found any jeans fitting the bill that I can go and try? I’m a 12, but these tend to fit beautifully (if a bit tight!) around my backside/stomach, but are baggy around the knee!

I have these which I love. They are a great fit not baggy at the knees at all and super comfy (they have a little elasticized waistband at the back. Good quality thickish soft denim so look much more expensive that they are and feel like they’ll have longevity.

Thank you-I will try those! They come in ‘odd’ sizes as well-have never seen a 13!

Did you buy your normal size?

I like the top shop Jamie jeans

Yes my usual size fitted perfectly :). I am 5 feet 5 and got regular length which is just right too.

Have you tried Topshop 'Joni' jeans? They are my go to.

Appuskidu · 09/10/2021 11:13

I think the Joni and Jamie are both quite high rise, whereas I prefer more of a mid rise-I will have a look though and thank you!

Levi 311’s, I’ve never had baggy knees in them.
