jeans for a size 18-which do you prefer?

[pellmell]

I don't like stretch or with elastic in the waist.
I like a fairly high waist and straight legs or very slightly bootcut.

Mine are all M&S and I wouldn't have a clue about buying others and tragically I bought three pairs in the same style .....
Thought about boden bootcut as I have just seen they have 25% off at the moment.
Any suggestions welcome or ones to avoid!

Hula jeans from New Look

I second Hula jeans from New Look. They are fab and cheap.

No idea, will watch this closely as i take size 18 and never really find ones I like.
I have Boden and Monsoon which were recomended here, and Next - but they all have faults.

ok thanks for replies
just looked on line at hula jeans...they seem to only be in a 28 leg so I think too short for me. All out of stock anyway.
Another thing is price. Are £10 jeans as long lasting as more pricey ones? Would be great if they are because it's annoying to spent £30 to £40 per pair and still discover faults.

They do up to 34 leg. I've had mine for 3 months and they are still just as good as the first day I got them.

I bought four pairs of hula jeans last August and they are still going strong I bought 31 length i think.

Hula jeans are fabulous and long wearing. Be careful though, they come up quite big. I routinely wear one or two sizes smaller than I would in M&S jeans.

OMG! I must be even fatter than i thought!! Still wear the same in hula jeans as my normal clothes size.... infact they are abit tight!

how tall are you? MIne are either Hula or Long Tall Sally, which fit beautifully and are so slimming.

Ahh blossommine. It could be because of the cut which accommodates the round of tummy (so that hangingbellyofbabylon thought of that name first)

I just got a pair of hula jeans and I love them. I am really pair shaped (12 on top, 16 on bottom)and can never find jeans that fit. They look good and are really comfy. I am going to get some more tomorrow.

Please tell me more... I am of 'athletic build' and am in the hunt for a new pair of jeans.

I would ideally do the boyfriend/slouchy cut thing but have come up with nothing, so far.

The hula ones are tempting but on the website they look a little skinny legged. Is this my paranoid imagination and will they really be ok for a 16/18?

I have slouchy Hulas, def what I would call a boyfriend cut. I'd take a trip and look instore, there are various different styles. I agree about them coming up big too.

The boden bootcut jeans are lovely and slimming but quite low on the waist, which might not be to your taste. I can't get into mine yet, but looking forward to when I can without a HUGE muffin top!

Dorothy Perkins £15 jobs. I wear the 'skinny' ones but they really aren't skinny, just straight-legged (I wish they were skinnier, tbh, cos my legs aren't bad, I've just got a size 18 waist!)

Ah...that will probably be what it is then,the hulas accomodate my horrible stomach lol!!! They are good jeans though. I don't find the legs too slim fitting, to whoever asked that question!

sorry just came back to this thread
Will deffo give hulas a go thanks
