I’ve just got a pair of Next Wide rinse blue High wide rise stretch jeans. (Sorry I can’t do a link, the teen is out).

I’m 5’5” and a stone overweight and they are incredibly slimming.
I’ve tried them on with a kitten heel ankle boot which look fab peeking out the bottom of the leg.
I think they would be too long on me to wear with trainers but that’s fine as I think I’ll dress them up rather than go for a trainers/casual look.

There was a thread on here last week regarding the best wide leg jeans and do they suit everyone?
The ones I’ve bought are more flares I guess as they’re fitted at the top. Where a completely wide leg/barrel leg that adds bulk for me, these seem to do the opposite.

Been feeling a bit low/menopausal recently about my weight gain so they’ve really perked me up!
Thoroughly recommend.

Wow! What a rude and unnecessary comment.

Bear ? bare? Sense of humour failure?

RipplePlease · 13/02/2026 17:43

@hollytheheroic
Yes I think the lengthening of the leg is why I love them. That and the fact that they are super comfy.
Wore them out for the first time today and got 2 lovely compliments! Been feeling very frumpy lately so that made my day.

You don’t know how to copy and paste a link? Are you 82?

I LOVE a flare Jean, but by god can we please get some low waists back. I must have a short torso as all high waisted sit right under my rib cage and I cannot bare it.

If the high ones are too high for you, I'm not surprised you can't bare your waist.

I bought these today, two other women were trying them on in the changing rooms 😁

66babe · 13/02/2026 18:06

Damm you @RipplePlease Now I’ve ordered jeans that I didn’t need
They look so nice and your description sounds great for me .
I’m supposed to be not spending 😂

Americano75 · 13/02/2026 18:10

Bloody love Next jeans, those look amazing.

@Otterdrunk
I got the regular which are perfect with a heel. Haven’t tried them with a flat shoe yet, got a feeling they would be touching the ground.
Im happy to just pair them with heels.

That sounds perfect - hope they’ve got my size left! Thanks for the tip off 🙏

ImPamDoove · 13/02/2026 18:24

I tried those on in store. 5’8.5, 9.5 stone. They looked bloody awful on me. ☹️

Oh no! Same size as me and I've ordered a pair !

@andthatwasrhatthen
No, they are the £35 ones.

I've got these in black and they are a really good pair of jeans. Was contemplating getting the blue because they are so comfortable. What blue is it?

I have just got these ones and I really like them. I’m normally a 16R in Next jeans but got a 14S in these

HighStreetOtter · 13/02/2026 20:54

Dunno how everyone else is sizing down. I had to size up. 😂🤷🏻‍♀️🙈. Nice lady in the changing room reckoned the petites run smaller size wise than the regular

Georgieporgie29 · 13/02/2026 21:06

I’ve ordered some too so fingers crossed they look ok, I am desperate for a new pair of good jeans. I’m 5ft 4” and 9st 3 so have ordered both petite and regular, will see how I get on. Thanks op.

DirtyBird · 13/02/2026 21:19

These are gorgeous, wish they were available in the US. 😊

RipplePlease · 13/02/2026 22:05

@DevilsmommyI’ve got the dark blue/rinse ones.

LaurieFairyCake · 13/02/2026 22:06

Oh glad you said that HighstreetOtter I was about to size down to a 4 Petite off the back of this thread. I’m a very definite size 6.

Foxybyname · 14/02/2026 09:54

DramaAlpaca · 12/02/2026 15:41

They're really nice. It's great when you find nice jeans that fit well and are flattering, the holy grail!

Actually, I'm mostly posting because I love your admission that you can't do a link because your teen is out Grin

Yes!
I genuinely grinned when I read that! Not in a patronising way, but in administration at the admission!

Whaleandsnail6 · 14/02/2026 11:44

You inspired me op!

I'm 5ft with short legs and usually wear size 10 petite. I've just tried them on and they fit but a bit big on the waist so I'm going to swap for an 8. Very wide flare, reminds me of the jeans I wore when I was 16! Look good with wedge trainers though

OSTMusTisNT · 14/02/2026 15:44

Love the look of the darker ones, does anyone have pets - do they attract floof?

fatphalange · 14/02/2026 16:26

I’m such a lemming that I went out and tried some on (good jeans are holy grail after all). Bloody bought them as well but they’re identical to plenty of H&M pairs on sale atm and similar to a Free People pair I’ve already got, and some of my Zara ones.

InFreeFall · 14/02/2026 16:40

I defo don't need jeans. But... in those pics they look like flares rather than wide legged... which do they look like on?
