How fab is that?

Get thee to a M and S, try them for yourself.

I have got some black ones and they are horrible tbh. I don't know why I bought them. They are far too big on the waist, a touch too long and make me look like Robert Smith. I have only worn them twice and both times I felt like a reject from the eighties. But I am sure it is my fault and not the jeans'.

I will order some online but can only see options for black or dark blue.(worried)

mama2boyz · 14/01/2009 09:14

Are these only available online?

And would they suit a size 18-20 person like me who truly have a big bum (as opposed to when I was a size 12 and I thought I had a big bum!!)?

slalomsuki · 15/01/2009 10:55

I bought some in black and dark blue online.

I would say they are comfy and look smart but then I haven't washed them yet and that when I manage to get faded crease marks on all jeans and dark jean type trousers I have. They gape a bit at the back of the waist and thats quite a feat since I have a large waist

Overall at £12.00 I can't complain through

NAB3lovelychildren · 15/01/2009 10:57

I have some M&S vouchers to spend. Are they just available on line?
I normally get my jeans in New Look now.

katch · 15/01/2009 11:08

I'm about to order some - but what's the sizing like? I know M&s always used to be generous, so doesthat mean a size 14 can still get away with a 12?

mama2boyz · 15/01/2009 20:54

Mine have just arrived - they are soooo comfy!!

They are only available online - weird but true (I rang up to ask them)

bran · 15/01/2009 20:58

I might try them since people are complaining about them being large on the waist. I have teeny hips (relatively speaking) and a big waist and I usually avoid M&S trousers and jeans because they are generally cut for the typical English pear-shape.

chancelloroftheexCHEQUERS · 15/01/2009 20:59

I got these just after xmas!!! Got compliments from 3 people (including DH ) on my new jeans!

They hold in the post-baby jelly belly a treat.

There will be a run on them now, like the waitrose baby cream.

NAB3lovelychildren · 15/01/2009 21:00

Oh heck I wanted to spend my vouchers.

janeite · 15/01/2009 21:01

I got mine in store but it was last year some time.

LaTrucha · 15/01/2009 21:14

Boysarelikedogs - can I ask what sort of size you are. I have resigned from wearing jeans because I'm overweight (size 14-16). I do mis smy jeans though.

Would these make ME change my mind?

I am far from an M+S and would need to internet order, which is why I can't try them on.

mama2boyz · 15/01/2009 21:20

I'm not Boysarelikedogs but I am a size 20 and they are very comfy.
I don't usually wear jeans either

LaTrucha · 15/01/2009 21:22

Hmmm....

How's the sizing?

pollywobbledoodle · 15/01/2009 21:45

i'm a 16 and a definite apple shape....these are great. They are only in the 2 colours though. I have several pairs....easily the most comfortable and flattering that i tried on (and i tried loads!)

my only warning is that sometimes the sizing varies....they can have longer/shorter legs or waist to crotch than usual....try a few pairs on instore/order a couple of pairs

pollywobbledoodle · 15/01/2009 21:47

they have some cords in the same vsalue range but these are much tighter on the waist....just in case anyone is tempted

ps i hope they do have a run, then they might broaden the colour range

NewAmazingBeginning · 16/01/2009 08:11

I want some!

I think really I am a size 13 so what should I order?

CharleeinChains · 16/01/2009 08:13

I have NEVER yet found a pair of trousers that doesn't show my bum! I am a 14 waist size anything smaller is to tight and thing bigger is to big but all my trousers slip down to reveal my knickers and my bum!

Are these anygood for that?

cocolepew · 16/01/2009 08:20

I tried these on in store this week, maybe some stores are carrying them? They were very nice.

flowerybeanbag · 16/01/2009 09:14

Can I ask a question? What about the length? It says short medium and long, but how long is medium iyswim? I would normally buy 32in long jeans, would that be medium or long?

dexter73 · 16/01/2009 09:19

I would get long if you have a 32" leg. Medium is 30" and long is 33".

flowerybeanbag · 16/01/2009 09:21

thanks dexter

NewAmazingBeginning · 16/01/2009 11:30

I got some!!!

Size 12.

thisisyesterday · 16/01/2009 11:34

i got mine in store, but that was last year.
they will def have something very similar in store, even if not the exact ones.

littlelamb · 22/01/2009 17:41

May I just say oh my GOD. I got some in store today and they are so flattering. They sit right on my waist so I'm not pulling them up every five minutes and they don't even look like mum jeans! I am seriously impressed. Thanks for the heads up BoysAreLikeDogs
