Elastic waist jeans

WhatarethePolicedoingaboutApricotCity · 29/11/2022 14:56

Does anyone know where I can get a pair of these in a wide leg/flared style, in what I would call real denim?

I suffer really badly from IBS/IBD, and associated bloating. I also have an apple shaped body.

I can't find any anywhere.

I've found Matalan jeans to be really good for y apple shape, although not sure about the wide legs. I have a pair of their Mom style jeans, they're a lovely denim, but not too heavy, the elasticated waist is great, no pressure even when driving and they're not overly baggy.
They are the only jeans I can tolerate.

Thanks for your reply! I'm not that familiar with Matalan, but their maternity jeans look good. Maybe maternity jeans are the answer for me, as I usually wear long tops.

Or is that incredibly sad?

Asda do a range of 5-6 different style elastic waisted jeans to jeggings.

I have some from the brand Pull and Bear on ASOS. I am also an apple and seem to be a size or two bigger on the waist than the bum.

Sorry just seen you want wide leg/flare. Mine were mom jeans and straight leg.

Seasalt might be worth a look? A lot of their trousers are elasticated at the waist

OMG I love maternity jeans. I’ve still got the lockdown chub and you’ve just reminded me how good these are OP.

get a cheap pair to test and report back.

why isn’t everything elasticated goddamit!!

Next do a supersoft jegging in a slim fit instead of skinny, and its actually more or a regular jean leg, but really soft stretchy pull on waist - they are great!

M&S jeans are super stretchy all over, not just the waist

Before that wouldn’t be fair if your a size 6 and you prefer designer brands . Should be something for everyone . Everyone has there own choice

Personally I wouldn’t leave the house in elastic waisted jeans . Give me Levi’s everyday of the week.

CinnamonJellyBeans · 04/12/2022 21:50

simply be jeggings, in many sizes and styles, including bootcut, with elasticated waist.
