Jeans 😩

I know they are more expensive, but I swear by Lands End jeans. My problem is I am long waisted and regular jeans sre a comfortable fit under my armpits. Lands End do mid-rise jeans, that actually fit me round the waist and the extra width for being mid rise deals with my non-existant waist.

I bought 2 pairs recently great fit and reasonable price asda wonder fit

I also have two pairs of Cotton Traders pull-on jeans. My waist size doesn't match my hip size in any other brand, but if the waist is elasticated, I can easily wear size 14 jeans. This summer, I've taken to wearing what some brands call culottes and others wide legged trousers. The M&S linen ones look good and the Roman ones fit perfectly. Both have elasticated waists.

That was nice Eddiecat 😊

I love jeans and will never give them up no matter how old I am. I've got two pairs of those Cotton Traders comfy ones, as well as other various pairs.
I also have a lovely little denim jacket from QVC which is marvellous as the material is stretchy.

Glad you like them Eddie. I live in mine! Got umpteen pairs.

I had the same problem so have have switched to Cotton Traders pull on jeans with a stretchy waist. They look like proper jeans when worn with a top over the waist. They come in several lengths. I am 5ft 3in and wear a 29"

I just wanted to thank Shysal for this recommendation. I've now got 2 pairs. They are so comfy and really do look like normal jeans unless you wanted to tuck your top in

Beware of sizing in M&S. I bought a pair of cords in the Spring. Everywhere else I'm a size 14, but I had to buy a size 16 in M&S.
I like pull on jeans now, because of the arthritis in my thumbs I have a problem fastening the button.

I usually buy cropped jeans which are full length on me (5ft) otherwise find a good seamstress who will do alterations for you.

Don't give up on jeans! they are great and so versatile.

The current trend for raggy hems is a help as you can just cut them to the length you want although I understand some people might not like this look.

I’ve lived in leggings for years but old really like to start wearing jeans again. I’ve struggled with my weight since switching to leggings because my jeans were always a warning signal that my weight had crept up. I always bought M&S in the past so I suppose I’ll start there.

I practically live in M&S jeggings. They are good quality and come in many lengths and colours. High waisted and elastic waist. I am 5’1”.

Bon Marché is good for jeans. They do a range of styles an have three (I think) leg lengths. I know if I grab a size 14, 29” leg in the Sara straight leg range they will fit.

And they’re only £20!

I bought a pair of cut off jeans from Next which turned out to be the perfect full length jeans for me at 5' nothing!
