hit me with your favourite jeans

[itsmeagainagain]

Hi - I'm on the (never-ending) quest for some flattering but comfy enough to wear daily jeans. I'm a slightly overweight pear shape but after having 2 children I now also have a bit of a tummy I never used to have. It was hard enough accommodating wider hips and a curvy bottom but now I have a tummy to contend me (le sigh) any recommendations? I hear good things about marks and Spencer jeans so don't mind ordering a few pairs for a try on session. I know that bootcut and flares will flatter my shape but I'm not sure on footwear day to day with those. I think I'd quite like something with a little stretch to hold my tummy in but maybe straight leg instead of full on bootcut. I also love skinnies as I can tuck my boots in. New Look Yasmin are the closest I've got to good enough.

M&S magic jeans are really good
M&Co lift and shape as well

I like girlfriend jeans. Tried mom jeans but they do nothing for my stomach and exaggerate it.

Eva bootcut from M&S are good with a bit of stretch.

Stradivarius mum jeans from asos! Tight and loose in all the right places 🙏🏼 Usually on offer too, got mine for £16 I think

Levis 501

Donna Ida but they’re very, very expensive. Absolutely worth every Penny in terms of quality and longevity though. I look out for sample sales, etc.

I've never understood what girlfriend jeans are?!

If you want comfortable, try jeggings.
For jeans look at M&S, FatFace or 7 for all mankind.
I love Gap jeans but they're old ones I've held on to.

@lmnabc , like boyfriend jeans but slimmer and fitting better on the hips

I like Mango jeans. I have the slim cropped and the skinny cropped, both basically full length on me due to my short legs.Anyway a slight crop is quite fashionable.

thanks all for your suggestions will be googling all of these!

Next - lift, slim and shape jeans

Absolutely worth what was to me a fortune in the price (I'm on a tight budget probably a perfectly reasonable price for good jeans) £45 when I got them last year £48 now I've worn them loads and they look brand new still

Anything by Agolde

I have about a million pairs of jeans. It depends on budget but once you know your size in any given brand you can usually pick up on eBay or vinted. My top recommendations
levi ribcage straight ankle ( I size up)
agolde ( all but Lana, 90s loose cropped, 90s loose)
citizens of humanity Charlotte
levis 501 original or cropped
everlane way high, cheeky, sailor
hush - they are all good quality I have about 6 different pairs
Boyish by her - specifically love the Tommy straight
Boden is good for shapes and lengths too ( I have girlfriend and relaxed still I think)
baukjen ( their sales are good)

free people sell the US brands at a good price and la redoute always have a discount code for Levi's and as I said preloved is good

Mother but they are expensive. Muji or Massimo Dutti are also great

I pretty much live in my M&S mom jeans, incredibly comfy.

I’m generally a 10 top, 12 bottom, so quite a pear, and love Levi’s jeans. My current favourites are the 80s mom, but I also really like 501s. If you can get to a store the assistants are incredibly helpful (then you could hunt down any you like on Depop).

I find cropped jeans most flattering as they show a bit of ankle which overall seems to make my legs look slimmer/more balanced. My favourites are (and another vote for) Levi 501s cropped, they seem to hold in my mum tum more than other jeans.

I also like the whistles cropped ones but the sizing/fit seems a bit inconsistent between colours, the black are great but the blue ones aren't quite as nice.

Ones I've got in the past have been:

Top Shop ripped hem mom jeans - ok
H&M mom jeans - ok
H&M slim/skinny jeans - good
James jeans - with diamantes - good but expensive
Replay (with sequined back pocket) - good but expensive
Zara skinny grey jeans - nice fit
Sainsburys Tu straight/boot flare - nice but seem a bit flimsy
Sainsburys grey jeans with tie waist - nice but just ok
Top Shop black stretch jeans - nice

These. The best jeans ever.
