Wide leg jeans recommendations

So I'm stepping away from mom Jean to wide legged and I need ones that are super high waisted, can almost skirt over lower belly rather than cling to it and are good quality denim!

Please let me know if you've encountered a jean such as this!🩷

I tried these on in store (to replace my previous M&S wide legs which are wearing out). They look great but unfortunately I now seem to be between sizes, my usual size was too tight, but when I went up a size it gaped at the back of the waistband. It’s annoying as my previous M&S wide leg pair fitted perfectly, but the fabric was quite soft and hasn’t worn well.

I got some from White Stuff, I think it was the Ayla ones.

Yes, the colour is lovely but they are so long! I had them shortened but it cost £22. The sizing seems very big these days.

I agree re the New Look Adalae jeans. I am 5ft 7 and bought the short length and they are just right though.

I pinched my daughters, they are really flattering/slimming if you can see the waist in a short top. https://www.urbanoutfitters.com/en-gb/shop/bdg-jaya-jeans?inventoryCountry=GB&currency=GBP&color=430&size=30W+30L&type=STANDARD&g_acctid=988-888-5833&g_adgroupid=155445241819&g_adid=679568770316&g_adtype=pla&g_campaign=%23PLA%2F_%281%29_GGL_%282%29_UK_%283%29_EN_%287%29_Brand%7C&g_campaignid=20746725007&g_ifcreative=&g_ifproduct=product&g_keyword=&g_keywordid=pla-325425753764&g_medium=cpc&g_merchantid=4231214&g_network=g&g_partition=325425753764&g_productchannel=online&g_productid=0122593371417%20430%203030&utm_campaign=%23PLA%2F_%281%29_GGL_%282%29_UK_%283%29_EN_%287%29_Brand%7C&utm_medium=cpc&utm_source=google&gad_source=1&gad_campaignid=20746725007&gbraid=0AAAAAD-P_JL4nH77b4yqT-Rd2QGw5Seq-&gclid=Cj0KCQjw0Y3HBhCxARIsAN7931Up_esE4bmkEn68Cq6sJB_s-jM6dGqunjqfoMbOTmohNl-XbqUD-hcaAnRGEALw_wcB

These ones from Next! Wide-legged, high-waisted, not expensive, 4 colours to choose from. I get comments on them a lot and I love them.

I'm tallish and usually buy long-fitting, but the regular are a good length.

Another vote for Fat Face Elise. Flattering shape and decent quality.

ilovesushi · 07/10/2025 00:21

Just off to order the Fatface Welling jeans. Would you say they come up large/ small/ true to size?

EverythingIsComputer · 07/10/2025 00:55

I’ve recently bought a few pairs of And/Or jeans which are a John Lewis own brand and they are all so well made and nice thick denim.

DoubtfulCat · 07/10/2025 08:13

I have the Levi’s rib cage ones and I really like them- super flattering on my apple shape. But Sainsbury’s have impressed me with their jeans this year and they also do some wide leg ones. I haven’t tried them, though.

DonewhatIcando · 07/10/2025 09:54

Crikey, I've always thought M&S as an unfashionable store but I agree with a pp who suggested M&S, I've just got some great jeans from there and a pair of black wide leg work trousers.
They have loads of choice, loads of styles, I was really impressed

They have been good for jeans for a while now IMO.

vitahelp · 07/10/2025 10:11

I've just bought New Look Adalae in light blue and Next wide leg in Black. Really happy with both.

PuppiesProzacProsecco · 07/10/2025 11:38

Another vote for Halara - they're incredibly good quality and have lots of lovely cuts and colours. Once you know your size in Halara, you can pick up some great bargains on Vinted.

LadyLapsang · 07/10/2025 17:40

M and S's dark blue denim ones are gorgeous and fit perfectly

I've got these and I LOVE them.

I got some fabulous dark brown wide leg from Mango last week, very comfortable and my 22yr old is threatening to borrow them. Sainsbury's jeans are also surprisingly good.

Wuss24 · 07/10/2025 19:20

M&s are fabulous 👌

Been looking for some brown jeans for weeks and having read that you bought some I’ve discovered that Mango have quite a few pairs, albeit they all look quite long. Which ones did you go for please? Thanks

WhatWouldTheDoctorDo · 07/10/2025 22:16

I got some from Zara - the were called the relaxed oversize wide leg. They don’t seem to have those particular ones online anymore, but they have a few that look similar.

have you thought about barrel leg as an option? I wasn’t convinced but I got some from mint velvet that are very flattering. A colleague has some from Uniqlo which are also nice. Easier to wear in the rain too!

Tiddlywinkly · 07/10/2025 23:50

Another vote for Levi's ribcage wide leg. Super flattering. I have 3 colours now. Just noticed they're discounted in the Amazon Prime sale. I would suggest sizing down an inch down from what your actual waist measurement is e.g. I'm 27 inch, but wear 26.

Nothungrycat · 06/10/2025 16:22

I've got these slightly cropped ones from Fatface https://www.fatface.com/style/su255509/n71876 - they're high waisted and have a bit of stretch in them, and I find them both comfortable and flattering.

I love these, but have the fashion sense of a banana.🙄
How would you style them for Autumn/Winter (shoes particularly)?

80smonster · 08/10/2025 06:38

I wear these on repeat: www.hush-uk.com/rowan-flared-jeans-mid-authentic-blue/012407-2797.html

gottamoveon · 08/10/2025 06:50

Another vote for Levi’s. I went into their shop locally recently and the assistant was super helpful. Like you, I’ve not really worn wide leg before so needed to try on quite a few options.
My DD17 says I look younger in them - winner!
