Want to recommend these jeans to everyone but esp to the short and be-bellied.

I haven't been able to transition out of my elder millennial skinnies before now as no other jeans I've tried have looked right or felt comfortable on my body shape (5'4, size 14 with a belly).

Bought these in the short length in black and they are just perfect. Soft but sturdy denim with stretch, super comfy, suck the belly in, perfect wide leg without being too much. Went straight back online and bought the blue ones.

☕️🥐😊

Thanks OP will give them a go

Perfect timing OP, I'm off to New Look today in search of new jeans so will keep an eye out for these. Thank you!

‘Elder millennial skinnies’ 😂

New Look are really good for petite jeans though those ones are too high waisted for me.

Thanks I'm 5'4 too so might take a look at these. The petite section of new look is normally where I look for jeans

Are they true to size? OP Did you buy a 14 or a 16?

I'm a menopausal Apple looking for some new jeans - I like the look of these!

Thanks op! I bought some jeans that finally seem to work too, from Next a few days back - I'll see if I can link!

I bought the 14 @rockstarshoes and they're spot on.

I like those Next ones in the blue @hellswelshy .

Wearing my new look ones to a gig tonight with trainers and a nice top. Feels very 90s but it's a 90s band so appropriate I reckon 😊.

I love the Adalae jeans! My absolute favourite, I have them in blue, black, brown and leopard print.
Im an 8/10 and find I usually have to size down in New Look so get an 8.

Thank you for this, I’m short and round but trying to move into wider jeans as skinny just feel wrong now, will give these a try.

High waists make me ill unfortunately.
These ones don't seem to fit the model properly - the crotch part seems to hang too low.

thanks! I'm looking for jeans atm (my most hated part of clothes shopping!), annoyingly I'm inbetween sizes - not that that means much when every shop seems to works to a completely different size. It's so hard to find jeans that fit well as a short-arse!

Although looking at those, 30 inch leg isn't really the 'short' size, is it? I thought that 30-32 was about standard, with 28 being short and 26 (the shortest I've seen) being extra short? (and then 34 being tall)

Just bought size16 in black and blue short length for the spring weather we're currently enjoying

Oooh, I'm also a 5'4 elder millennial in search of new jeans. Thanks, I think I'll give them a go

Do they not feel uncomfortable with a non-stretch high waistband?

I've ordered a pair and a pair of these

Which I spotted while I was on there!

I will report back!

I’m going to try these as that’s my shape. I’m shorter though, at 5 foot 1. For fellow shorties wanting a similar shape, the Elise jeans in Fat Face for £60 are really good. They come in three different shades of blue. They were recommended on a Mumsnet thread in 2022 and I first bought them then.

You say they’re stretchy (which I don’t like) but the description says 100% cotton - is that right? I try to buy jeans that are at least 95% cotton but it’s hard these days.

I am an elder millennial size 14 with a belly who is 5’4. Thank you! (I’ve just got some Levi’s ribcage on Vinted but these are another option for me, so I don’t just shove the mile high super skinny’s on again in shame)

Why are they all Long? Am I reading that wrong?

Be- bellied 🤣🤣 these sound great!

I’m about the same height as you OP which length did you buy? I’m frustratingly between sizes and don’t know if to size up or down. 🤔

Wide leg jeans are a revelation to me. I love them and these look real good.

I agree. I am similar spec to you op and Ive wasted alot of money trying to find an alternative to skinnier or Mom jeans. I tried these in the petite blue and they're so nice I went on and ordered the other colours. Cheapest but nicest jeans I've bought in a long while.

100% cotton! 😍 I've spent 20 years looking for jeans that don't cling!

Levi's also have some non-stretch jeans at the moment, described as '90s style' 😁

I just want to say to @AreolaGrande THANK YOU so much! I’m 62, short hour glass shape and wanted to wear wide legs but the M and S ones I tried looked hideous. I tried these today and they are FANTASTIC! Beautifully cut and look much more expensive. I’m going to get more colours! Anything else from New Look worth trying?
