My Next relaxed skinnies have died <sob>

And seem to have been discontinued. What can I replace them with? They are perfect, fit me so well, have a narrow, comfy, straight but not skinny leg and mid rise so I'm neither hoiking them up nor suffocating. The blue is just the right shade to go with anything and I can either tuck them into ankle boots or turn them up with converse or sandals. I don't know what I'll wear now...

(Ps, please don't suggest mom jeans, I find them really uncomfortable and unflattering.)

Thank you, what's the sizing like? I've never bought from Boden.

Way too much stretch for me unfortunately.

Crotch finally gave out after a whole lot of wear. Sadly unsalvageable (which quite accurately autocorrected to unpalatable Blush)

I find boden pretty true to size.

I am so sorry for your loss. I bought GAP jeans to replace mine. I will photograph the label later. I lost my last pair to a random BBQ spark in July last year.bi can't bear to part with them, but they are no longer the same 😢

I love Next jeans too. I am very narrow of hip, straight figure, no waist either.
I tried M&S straight leg and have also tried Boden, both much too wide in the hip for me.
Am watching with interest as I'd like an alternative to Next. Our local one has very little selection and I don't buy clothes online.

My condolences, TripleSeptic Flowers. Gap is a good idea, I've had chinos from there before.

Sadly Boden don't want to sell me jeans, they don't deliver them to Ireland Confused

That’s a bit shit! I wonder why not.

Unfortunately it's a simple computer says no.

They will send me this beauty though.
the opposite of every day jeans

Have you tried eBay or Vinted? I love the Next lift slim and shape skinny jeans, and they're not as soft as they used to be, so I got an older style pair off of eBay with tags still on :)

Ebay might work. Vinted is another that doesn't like Ireland.
