I need some jeans that fit!

[monkeysmama]

I have over 20 pairs of jeans in my wardrobe but they are all about to go in the charity bag because none of them fit me properly.

I am a size 12 with quite long legs. I want 2 pairs &would pay up to £100 each maybe. I am so out of touch with the world of denim I have no idea how much nice jeans cost now.

I want at least 2 new pairs - one pair which are a bit smarter and another pair which I can wear with retro trainers/Tims etc. and happily roll around the floor in.

My usual style since becoming a mummy is leggings with long boots and dresses / polo necks and jeans with the occasional sporty day.

Thanks very much

shape? do you, for example, have a larger bum/small waist and need high-waisted jeans? If so, the £12 ones from M&S may be worth a try.

What goes wrong on your jeans? which bit goes baggy so they don't fit?

have you been into gap - they are my absolute fave and do loads of different styles cuts - the curvy oones are quite nice for nights out etc but any of them (bootcut, skinny etc) are fine for dossing in.

The bit around the belly either seems to tight or too baggy on all my jeans. I have 2 gap pairs among the ones I am throwing away and they just don't seem to fit right anymore. Maybe I need to go into a Gap and try some other sizes and styles on.

I like gap for that reason - the cuts are differnet and if you can try em on you get a better look (I've yet to find another pair that solves the ok legs/too big round bum or too tight round bum/and legs issue).

I'm going to take a look in Gap today but any other suggestions still very gratefully received.

Someone on here recommended Hula jeans at New Look and they are fabulous - only £10, and fit really well. I am size 12 and have quite 'curvy' hips and small(er!) waist..
