Recommend some good jeans - I'm getting desperate!

I need some new jeans and just can't find any to suit me so I need some help!

I'm a size 18-20, 5'4 - I want a couple of pairs of everyday jeans that will last, aren't too long, hide my tummy, don't fold weirdly behind my knees.

My budget is anything up to about £80 for a pair - but I'm also interested in cheaper options too. I just want some that fit me 😬

Any recommendations?

I'm also finding that high waisted jeans (which seem to be everywhere!) start off fine but slip down my body so I end up with an annoying saggy crotch.

Try M&S. They have lots of different styles, and you'll probably find that the short ones (now short but used to the regular length) will not be too long.

You need a belt.

I like Next mid rise skinny jeans. I wear a belt too though

I was size 18 at height 5'3 inch, the only jeans I liked were m&s magic jeans, retailed about £45? and were comfortable? I've heard their sizing has changed thought but might be worth a look?

I hate clothes shopping though so there is probably loads of options I didn't see, although i tried about 10 pairs before I found them.

I'm weirdly between sizes in M&S so nothing fits right.

And I do wear a belt, but to stop the slippage it needs to be so tight I can barely breathe...

Tesco is your friend. Slim cut mid rise in blue, black or grey, slight stretch to the material, £16. The ones with a double button.

I'm 5'1, size 18 and wearing my new ones today. They are a perfect fit and haven't bagged, slipped or wrinkled yet.
