Wide legged jeans

[HarrietBond]

I’m trying to find some wide legged jeans. I’ve fallen in love with these from Me&Em but they are so expensive. Has anyone seen anything similar for a less eye-watering price?

I liked the Levi's ribcage ones often recommended on here and found a brand new pair in my size on Vinted for £30. Worth looking on there for brands/styles you like but can't afford "new" (though often things on Vinted are new).

I've got m and s ones and am about to order in another colour. They are so nice and comfy

I know they are eye waveringly expensive but you will never regret buying the Me+Em ones - on a cost per wear basis it's a great investment. I wear mine to death, they are sooooooo good and the side fastening is so flattering....
G'wan g'wan g'wan...

H and M 90s jeans...inexpensive and amazing...in the 1990s I was either working all the hours and wearing a suit OR pregnant...you can even down size bit xx

I have these, very pleased with the wide but not so wide that I trip over leg. They look great belted with a fitted top. I'm 5ft 11 and they're surprisingly long for a regular fit. Soft denim, comfy, decent price.

i usually buy everything secondhand from charity shops/vinted but jeans are the one thing that never work out.

i like Monki and Pull and Bear for cheaper options, both do a wide leg

Get thee behind me!

I’ve decided to include the Me&Em in my trying on session. Sometimes I find that the thing I want just doesn’t work for me. Or… I’d feel more comfortable buying them secondhand.

I’ve got H&M jeans right now: they are very good.

Thanks again for all the suggestions. My dream is the side zip so I am going to search lots of suggested retailers to see if there is anything comparable.

Try palazzo jeans from Next but size down

I got these in brown from M&S. They are lovely, but be aware, the sizing is inconsistent.

I agree with @Meowfoy. Those jeans are really something special, my idea of a perfect design - and, at that price, I'm assuming the quality, workmanship and ethics are all quite good.

You don't often see something that's almost unique, 'speaks' to you, and you could afford. Get them.

Enablers!

I got some amazing ones from Asda would you believe? https://direct.asda.com/george/women/jeans/roksanda-indigo-dark-wash-rivet-belted-straight-leg-jeans/GEM1212348,default,pd.html?cgid=D1M1G20C7&shareProduct=true

I think I’m after something wider legged, but those are very striking!

I think I need more swish. My current pair are similar. Wider than straight leg but not hugely so.

You know you’re talking yourself into the Me+Ems. The Levi’s are over £100 so it’s all relative… honestly 95% of my wardrobe is from Vinted and costs less than a tenner but a good pair of jeans, come on…. You’ll wear them 3-4 days a week!!

The picture in the link isn’t a true representation. The others pics are more accurate.

I did click through but they’re just a bit straighter down than I’m after. They do look very similar to my current pair.

I saw lots like these today in Tkmaxx, do you have one near you because there website is never as good as in store.

OK. Different but in the zone:

My pet retailer, Nobody's Child, £79 -15%

Mumsnet's pet retailer, M&S, £45 but you'll have to hunt for them.

River Island's look nice but have an elasticated back. Asos did a wide flare but I can't find it now. Nobody's doing that super-smooth, flyless front!

I need to think about it. Do trying on. Peer at my bank account. Sob.

TK Maxx is worth a shot but there’s so rarely anything very nice in mine.

I wouldn’t buy them from Me + Em - their jeans stretch quite a lot and become baggy at the knees.

I have these and love them. They just seem to work with everything in my wardrobe.

I got mine from Tu (Sainsbury's) high waisted and possibly the most comfortable jeans I've ever worn
