I always struggle to find jeans that fit well. I am an apple-ish shape and a size 10/12. I like straight cut/slim jeans mostly. I have some Levi's I like, own them in 2 colors already. I don't currently have the budget to spend hundreds so can't look into the likes of 7famk, frame etc. What brands should I look into?
I had a lot of zara and hm jeans before and I always find they lose their shape and become horrible after a few washes.
Don't mind spending up to £70.

Thank you!

Try FatFace, Gap or M&S.

White Stuff jeans have never failed for me, OP.

Alternatively, buy 2nd hand. You'd probably get 7fam, Baukjen or Frame for about £15.

I'm a big fan of Fatface jeans. They don't lose shape as you wear them, wash well and don't shrink , don't bag at the knees and last for years .

Gap. Still going strong 5 years down the line. The jeany ones though, not jeggings.

I reluctantly bought jeans from FatFace but am impressed. Good fit and quality.
I always wear a belt with jeans. If they have lycra in they tend to slide down a little, and it's probably not helped by me carrying lots in my pockets

Gap have always been good, it’s a shame there’s no stores left!
I bought some Whistles jeans on Vinted, brand new, which seem to be good so far. I tried them on in John Lewis first before buying on Vinted so I knew they’d fit.

I’d say M&S are the worst for me! They look great for half an hour then the knees and bum are baggy as anything.

I was going to disagree with you about H&M but now I think about it, all my jeans from there are already baggy so I wouldn’t have noticed them going more baggy 😁

Look at Outnet. I get jeans from there often for around £100. They do 15% off for new subscribers so you might get something around your budget. They have lots of 7 FAM, Frame, Agolde etc.
Also Nudie jeans are great, expensive (although more like £130 a pair than £200+) but if you’re looking at second hand I’d recommend looking for them too.
