Wide legged jeans

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?

The Marks jeans are nice but the sizing is really weird. I ordered these in my usual 8 and they are short and tight! The nice dark indigo is completely out of stock unless size 16 or 18. Marks is so bloody annoying!

I picked up some size 10 in black, long. They were a bit big round the waist and trailed on the floor. So I went back but they didn’t have a regular 10 in black so I tried on regular in blue and size 10 fit lovely lol. So I ended up getting a 10 in blue and a size 8 in the black lol

Yup. They never have my size in store or on line.
I think this is the third time I've moaned on this thread alone.
I think they are missing out on the £ from many people who are happy to spend.

The 2 Zara pairs I ordered are indeed too short and they only do 1 length (which FYI will be perfect for someone 5'6" or even 5'7" with flats.

My M&S ones just turned up...

I am really pleased. I carry weight on my tummy, including a bit of an overhang from a combination of extra weight and c-sections so I think I'll stick with tops/jumpers that hit around the hip as that lower belly is not obvious, but not hidden either or, for bigger occasions, perhaps much better underwear! Grin. But the front is nice and I really feel the way they fall from the hip is lovely. They also look fabulous with my new pointy-toed brown suede ankle boots I just bought on a sale!

@CharlotteBog good to know-thanks for posting. I fancied the Zara high waist ones but wondered how they would fit as the model has them slung low on her hips.

Whistles also do a side fastening pair of jeans, but they're almost out of stock now!

Not quite enough for my taste!

Trying on Me&Em tomorrow. Will update.

My black m and s ones arrived yesterday and I'm thrilled with them.
So I have both colours now - set with jeans for a while!

Great stuff!

Me&Em didn’t have the palazzo in store but I have tried the kick flare ones for size and length. They were also lovely with a side zip. I am very tempted.

They have phone chargers in their changing rooms. I’d shop in there for that alone.

Just do it. Honestly. It's not a spontaneous purchase. If you can afford it, do it.

Many years ago, after endless deliberation i bought a pair of boots that were Italian leather from some fancy Italian brand. They cost the equivalent of my share of the mortgage.... I never ever regretted that purchase. Wore them constantly for 3 years!!.

I’d like to try the palazzo on before deciding but they are now online only. I might just try the Levis on too before committing!

I recently purchased a beautiful pair of wife legged jeans from SNACKS. Around 90pounds
