Jeans Help! (please)

Hi,

I really fancy some bootcut jeans, but I need them to not be too heavy weight wise in the fabric and preferably with a bit of stretch, though not too much. I’m a size 18. I’ve tried the supersoft ones from Next and they fit well but the fabric was heavier than ideal for me. I have sensory issues due to Fibro. So lots feel too stiff, hence needing a bit of stretch.

Can anyone suggest any please? Thank you.

What is your budget, OP?

I really like the Quinn bootcut jeans from New Look - they are very budget friendly and have a good amount of stretch while still feeling like proper jeans. Quite high waisted and come in various leg lengths too. They go up to 18 and come in lots of colours, they use some non-size 8 models to see how they look if you click through the colours and photos. https://www.newlook.com/uk/womens/clothing/jeans/pale-blue-waist-enhance-quinn-bootcut-stretch-denim-jeans/p/868401545

Asda had some v thin boot cut black jeans that fitted well.

Have you looked at M&S? They have a wide range and do supersoft denim too although that tends to be a bit more costly.

I love GAP bootcut jeans

I love peacocks jeans I wear a bootcut one with no buttons or zip, they last well and are light

I have the Quinn ones from NL and the Eva from M&S and they are both nice bootcut jeans.

Another vote for Eva Bootcut jeans from M&S, very flattering

What is your budget, OP?

Probably up to about £50/60 ish. I’ve lost weight recently and may end up losing some more so I don’t want to pay too much if they end up being temporary.

Thank you to everyone for the suggestions, I’ll give them a try.

I am the same size as you and really like their Sienna magic straight jeans: https://www.marksandspencer.com/magic-shaping-high-waisted-straight-leg-jeans/p/clp60712436

V comfy material, stretchy but doesn’t get misshapen.

I feel for you as I was trying to do jeans shopping yesterday but for wide leg.

I have these next ones - wide leg - they’re soft, stretchy and comfy, though I’m ordering a diff pair in darker blue as I don’t really like the light ones as much. Tried on so many pairs in next yesterday and these were softer than many others:
I'm thinking of buying this from Next - Rinse Blue Wide Leg Jeans
