I need some new decent jeans desperately please tell me where you buy yours from?

M&S - Sienna or Lily. But go to a store if you can to try on sizes as they err on the long side.

Spanielsarepainless · 03/01/2023 16:29

M&S. But thinking of trying Sainsbury's.

I think people end up finding the shops where the jeans fit their body (rise/waist/arse proportions) - it can vary considerably and then even when you find your shop, different styles can fit differently. It's why jeans shopping can be so hard and why once you find a style and shop that suits, you re buy.

I usually buy my jeans from H&M, Mango and Esprit. I buy short or cropped (which are then full length). I don't really like shortening jeans as you lose the hem edge unless you fold it back.

Splashed out on some Levis over the summer and they are good too and I can see them lasting a very long time.

I don't like M&S as the rises are too high for me and find Next rather cheap these days (not in a good way).

I'm a pear shaped 10-12 and like Next and Levi's jeans. I have had a couple of decent pairs of New Look jeans over the years but I find the sizing and fit really varies between pairs of the same size!

Phrenologistsfinger · 03/01/2023 16:58

Everlane jeans are great!

DamnYerEyes · 03/01/2023 17:06

Recently I bought 3 pairs of low rise flared (not hugely) slightly stretchy jeans from H&M. I’ve never bought jeans from them before and they are very flattering.

For years I always bought jeans from Top Shop until they left the high street.

I love NYDJ jeans - comfortable and slimming but a bit pricey.
Recently found the M&S super soft jeans and really like them

Niftythrifter · 03/01/2023 17:08

@OwwwMuuuum I hope that you took them back!

I like Boden, Mint Velvet and Zara. You could try charity shops.

Whydoiwearsomuchleopardprint · 03/01/2023 17:08

River island Molly jeans

Tabitha888 · 03/01/2023 17:11

River island! Best jeans ever

Rassy · 03/01/2023 17:14

Marks & Spencer Harper jeans. Are cigarette style and v flattering Smile

Rina66 · 03/01/2023 18:02

River Island Molly for Skinny
M & S Lily or Sienna for a straighter leg, good colour choice too
Hush for boyfriend although M & S are also good
Next Leather look jeans especially in the chocolate brown are lovely
I haven't found a pair of Mom jeans to suit me, I need a bit of stretch, but when I see a pair I like on other people and ask, it's usually ASOS.

Ladyofthelake53 · 03/01/2023 18:09

M&S, next or DP usually

VoldemortsKitten · 03/01/2023 18:11

Hoping for tips on Mom jeans too I've never found any that don't look awful on me!

I love Levi's 312s for straight leg and 315s for bootcut

Where are you? Soho’s on bold street in Liverpool have 2 pairs of vintage Levi’s for £50 if you go upstairs. Good for the mom jeans option and wash and wear really well.

QuentininQuarantino · 03/01/2023 18:14

I love Zara jeans. I also have Levis but much prefer my Zara ones.

Tallulasdancingshoes · 03/01/2023 18:16

Always Next.

Vinylloving · 03/01/2023 18:18

I just got some from baujken, they are lovely

Vinylloving · 03/01/2023 18:18

They are boyfriend jeans

lurchermummy · 03/01/2023 18:19

@MrsWidgerysLodger I wish they hadn't meddled with the lengths they were perfect before! Loads of comments on their website to that effect too...

HopefullyBePregnantViaIUI · 03/01/2023 18:23

Next, river island, george (asda) and new look 😊

Anonymouslyposting · 03/01/2023 18:35

I like Uniqlo, not fancy but I’ve found they fit me well and are a good price. I can’t be bothered shopping around for something that may be a bit better but is basically the same so I just buy the same ones in dark blue and black whenever I feel that mine are getting worn.

LadyPoison · 03/01/2023 18:37

M&S - only place I can find where long jeans are actually long enough for me.

BodyShapeWoes · 03/01/2023 20:22

Primark normally 😂 best £10 ones I’ve found

I have been eying up some Karen millen ones

I struggled with M&S jeans they just never seem to fit me correctly
next are always tight on the waist and baggy on the legs

I do have a pair on sainsburys boot cut and they are ok

Kin at John Lewis.
