Jeans that fit!

I bought two pairs of jeggings in Sainsbury's last weekend. I am a standard size 14 and they fit perfectly. I love them and can't understand why it has taken me so long to buy them!

I agree about Asda jeans and also wish they'd do more in the longer length. Hardly any in the shops and not much choice online either. On the other hand, they seem to stock plenty of short length ones!

Yes Asda and bring back the Moda denim jeggings please - hundreds of great reviews and you stop selling them!!

Yes carolynswalsh Asda jeans are great but I am very tall and our George no longer do the long leg. Hopeless. Come in Asda we all have different heights sizes etc x

Interesting thread - I have very heavy fat legs and most jeans look awful on me. I used to get some denim looser fit jeggings from George at Asda that were flattering for me but now discontinued.

Ceesnan your suggestion about the Cindy Slouch might be worth a try for me, thanks for the thought. They look looser on the leg and comfortable.

Went to Asda to look at the jeans yes they are wonderfully comfortable but Asda seems to think that all ladies are the same height,average.despite several visits went on line,same thing,average!Emailed Asda,no response.Gave in and being short have had to alter them!

What about trousers that have a good fit for hips and legs like mine, that have their own built in jodhpurs. ??? I also have arthritis behind both knees and they are swollen. Altogether, not a good look. I love wearing trousers, but find that many are too slim in the leg dept. so, any help, suggestions gratefully received ??

Try BHS jeans. I`m just under 5`2" and I bought three pairs of straight leg at £15 each.. black, dark denim and light denim. They all fit really well and didn`t have to shorten them as I`ve done in the past with Per Una Short leg which at 29 inside leg is still to long for my legs...

Oh! Thanks PenJK50 Don't you just love the auto correct!

I am not a great jeans wearer, but I do want to buy some this season, so this thread is helpful.

I think I'm too old for meg gongs jeggings

meg gongs?

have I missed something?

I'm sure I typed jeggings not meg gons,

Sometimes the Sculpt and Lift at M & S are good, as are their meg gongs. I treated myself to some Jaeger Skinny this week and I have to say they are a cut above the chain store versions but a lot more expensive of course.

I swear by next jeans, the skinny ones and straight leg ones fit like a glove

If you have a British Home Stores within reach, try them. Many years ago I bought the best-fitting jeans I've ever had at BHS. A couple of months ago I needed some new jeans and trailed Oxford Street to find a good fit, eschewing jeans that cost up to £120 but still didn't fit! Remembering BHS I went there and, once again, found the perfect pair - at £15.

I love NYDJ but they are really expensive. The annoying thing is that if you buy them in the U.S.A. they cost half the price they cost here. I have had bargains with them on Amazon.
Definitely will try the brands mentioned here. Useful thread!

I have bought 2 pairs of Cindy Slouch Jeans from Fifty Plus and they are just so comfortable with a stretchy jersey knit waistband. They wash well and are one of my best buys at only £18. Just wish they came in more colours.

I find the only ones are M&S Per Una boot cut ones,I think they are the Roma jeans already mentioned. An interesting thread as I would like to find others. If I find a pair I buy 2 as I live in jeans.

yulle87 I also have a flat bottom and used to take in the thigh seams on every pair of jeans or trousers I owned.

However, M & S used to do 'slim fit' jeans. It doesn't mean they are skinnies, it means they are slimmer cut at the bum/thigh area.

But I've looked on line and don't see them on the M & S site.

This is such a useful thread - I hate looking for casual trousers for myself as feel I might look a bit 'mutton dressed as lamb' these days in denim. However after reading lots of the comments I've bought some Per Una Roma straight leg jeans today and am pleasantly surprised by the look although need a long tunic/top to cover the bumpy bits. Will get DD's opinion before I take the labels off! It's not just trousers that I find a problem, I do find it difficult to find something that fits my 14/16 size without looking too 'grannyish'. I know I'm 67 but I don't need to feel like that when I'm clothes shopping. I often find things in Fat Face or White Stuff which seems to appeal to all ages.

Next 'High Waist Enhancer' are great. I've bought two pairs and live in them. The bootleg is quite subtle too - not a flared look. I'll be getting some straight legged for winter to tuck into boots.

I used to buy Per Una but since they changed their leg lengths and are now using some awful material that makes the jeans capable of standing up on their own, I have jumped ship to a different company.

I love Uniqlo super stretch jeans.their jeggings are good too.

Ebay is excellent for NYDJ!

I haven't worn jeans for many years. When I found out that Elvis hated jeans...he had to wear them in films....then I thought not for me either!
I'm teasing of course I wear straight leg cords and canvas trousers in 12 but always need a belt because I still have a waist, hooray. I also like good quality leggings/jeggings with a huge sweater or long length top and Keds or boots.

X Catalogue closed down? Really? Ohhh no!! Mind you they do sometimes close branches. The Kendal shop closed years ago. I was in there about a month ago, spent less than £14 and came out with five items - trousers x 3 and two really nice tops. One of the trousers was the Marisota brand.

I was once stood alongside a lady in the Durham store, she picked up a lovely top marked at £6.99 (sale price) and said in a small voice 'I paid £50 for this last December...'

I go for Roma Jeans from Marks and Spencer. They sit on the waist, have smart belts and are an ideal fit for my size 16 figure. Come in 3 leg lengths.
