Soft, comfortable skinny/slim jeans

[IDriveMySupernova]

All my jeans are ancient and too tight for me, bar one Fat Face pair that are really heavy and rough.

Where can I find some super soft slim or skinny jeans that aren't overly pricey? I've looked at H&M but the reviews don't fill me with confidence. M&S all seem to have unflatteringly-placed/small back pockets, likewise Tu. Next jeans seem to have weird waistbands. I don't know what to do.

New Look. Mine still going strong from 2015! Think they still else than £30..

Are you near an M&S so you could try them on? I swear by M&S jeans.
I do have a pair of Spanx jeans that I love but they are pricey.. normally £100. I got mine in Tkmaxx for £20 but it can be very hit and miss in there.

M&S magic jeans - skinny or straight legs in a range of colours. Love mine!

White Company jeans are very soft but £89. But so very soft.

It's the M&S pockets I really don't like, unfortunately...

I love Matalan jeans at the moment, they fit me well and are cheap.
April style for skinnies
Grace style for straight leg

Ooh I hadn't considered white company. I will have a look on Vinted. What is the sizing like?

I have some very soft 7 for all Mankind from TK maxx

I've managed to get a good few of pairs of incredibly soft 'jogger jeans' from TK Maxx over the years - always from unknown German brands.

I have literally worn them out and can't find suitably soft replacements anywhere.

I'm wondering about brands like Only and Vero Moda on Zalando, both of which are Scandi I think. I do have a couple of pairs of Only trousers which seem reasonable quality, but haven't tried their jeans.

Asda Wonderfit jeans are fab and only about £20

Another vote for Asda Wonderfit. Great value and look good too.

I buy Good American jeans and it’s like I’m not wearing jeans as they’re so soft & comfortable. I’d always thought premium jeans were just a con and would never have bought any until a friend encouraged me to try a pair. I honestly couldn’t believe the difference and now I’m a total convert. My DH buys Paige jeans and had a similar experience switching from M & S to premium jeans. We wait until they have sales and never pay full price for them but I’d rather have fewer pairs that are more comfortable.

My favourite jeans currently are Wonderfit from George. I’ve bought four pairs as I wear the black ones for work

I think it’s quite generous - I’m hourglass so the waist fits me quite well as opposed to gaping.

Brompton jeans are smaller than the Marlow jeans. A 14 in Marlow is quite loose legged on me whereas 14 in Brompton looks close to a skinny jean rather than the boyfriend style they say it is.

I would say I’m a 16 in other places.

I also buy lots of jeans in charity shops. Let some other bugger wear them in! I always size up, and only buy soft or lightweight denim. Had some brilliant jeans that way, from weird random brands. Amisu, anyone?

New look - Hallie and Jenna jeans are alot softer than standard jeans in my opinion.

I think massimo dutti jeans are good quality and flattering and not at all expensive. Always the first place I look.

But then again I think I'm the only person in mumsnet who really dislikes m&s jeans. They're really unflattering on me, too high waist even if not meant to be, and I hate the soft material. I think nice jeans can't be soft, need to be nice, thick denim.

And I known soft will be more comfortable, but as long as they're not too tight, thick denim is really comfortable

I don't rate MD jeans. Bought a pair during the same and they are so baggy now and look really cheap. I'm a fan of their clothes but the quality is very hit and miss.

I went to M&S as they lured me in with their 25% off jeans offer. I tried on pretty much every pair of slim/skinny they had. I ended up buying a pair of black Sienna straight and grey Ivy skinny. I would’ve liked some blue Ivy too but they didn’t have my size, but at least I know how they fit now. Weirdly the pockets didn’t resemble the ones on the website, or maybe it’s just my arse.
