Slim fitting full length jeans without stretch?

5 replies

I’m hoping you wise and stylish people may be able to help…

I want to find some slim fit jeans, ideally in a mid-blue, which aren’t full of stretch and are made of a stiff proper denim material.

I also don’t get on with ankle grazers, so I’m looking for something full length.

All the jeans I’ve found seem to be either too short or full of Lycra, am I searching for the impossible? Stretchy jeans always go baggy on me so I want proper denim. I’ve got proper denim wide leg and boyfriend fit, but the slim fit is eluding me.

Any suggestions for brands or style you know would be very gratefully received! 💐

Do you mean skinny, bootcut, flare, or straight leg? Slim fit refers to your own shape, I always thought (i.e., not 'curvy').

Levi's are my favourite jeans with no stretch.

I wear straight leg but it’s not possible anymore to buy them except for Levis 501s intended for the American market. Amazon sometimes sells them.

@mathanxiety that’s so interesting, I hadn’t considered that meaning! I’m looking for a straight leg style, not as tight as a skinny Jean, but not loose or an unfitted boyfriend shape.

@OneRingToRuleThemAll @Ozanj Thank you! I’ve just been having a look at some 501s and very happy to see them advertise “no stretch 100% cotton”! They are quite pricey, but if it’s for jeans you can keep for years then I’m happy to spend a bit more.
