Hello again

I'd recommend M&M direct which has some really good discounted prices on some fab quality jeans.

Highstreet wise I'd say Levi, River Island, Diesel and Wrangler are all good quality. TKMaxx normally have some great prices but if your able to, most sales start Boxing day.

I would really love a pair of Not Your Daughter`s Jeans, with a price tag of £100+ they should be fab quality and last for ever. Not sure how old you are though Dizze as these are aimed at older ladies so apologies if you are wee young thing.

River island sizing is small, peacoks is huge and quality not amazing.

New look are OK but some of their cheaper jeans go baggy in the wash.

pricey but i bought a pair of 7 for all mankind jeans in 2005 and they are still going strong love them.
For high street though personally i like Topshop and New look jeans

Next have always seemed to be the best for me, that's the only place I can get jeans that fit me properly and they seem to last me years.

From the list you have mentioned Miss Sixty used to be very good quality - I had some that lasted years, but recent ones don't seem such good quality and I would think they would be quite a bit more money than the rest on your list. M&S jeans are not bad quality considering they are pretty cheap.

I'd agree with others Seven/For all mankind jeans last for years as do Paige & Diesel jeans (these are my current 2 favourites).

If you can get to a TKm4xx then I would have a look there. You can get something like Diesel or For all Mankind jeans there for around £30-£40 which I think would last you far longer than some from the cheaper highstreet stores.

If price was no object then I'd only buy Paige and Hudson jeans. And Slinky - I'd seen those not your daughters jeans and thought I'd hunt down a stockist to try some on, see if they live up to the hype.:)

As a bloke, here's my 10p worth

Superdry - pricey but excellent quality (Japanese denim), strangely large waist sizing but short legs. Get them cheaper from M&M Direct.

Next - OK quality for the price, but I've bought better. I find the sizing a bit on the large side, some stupidly so.

Gap - probably the best trade off between quality and price, especially if you buy a few pairs at once in the sale like I do. They also do "in between" waist sizes.

Diesel - great style, fit and design but I think the quality for the price is just not good enough. Worth it if you can them cheap through places like M&M.

As well as the quality it depends on your proportions, I hate Next jeans as they are always too short in the leg - I've also found that they tend to grow in the wash or after a few wears (and I mean considerably grow) - my friends have found the same issue and even returned some due to this.

Got some Levis in NY a while back - love them all and were really cheap, they've worn well. I also like J & Company - got one pair in NY and another from TK Maxx. My oldest jeans are French Connection - these seem to have worn well, washed well and generally kept their shape over time.

If you're looing for 7 for all mankind, check out the Secret Sales site as they often occur on there http://secretsales.com/home/

I also have a pair of Abercrombie jeans which I love - were quite expensive at £80 but I had tried on some other cheaper jeans in the same style and could instantly tell the difference.

I do tend to think with jeans, that you get what you pay for if you buy really cheap end jeans (although saying that, I have two pairs of denim shorts from Primark and they are both fab). Also, if you can, try the jeans on - they all fit differently - even the same brand/size will have a diff fit.

I also heard once that when you try jeans on they should be fairly snug fitting if they contain lycra/elastane as they will give/stretch a little over a couple of wears (although not so tight that the blood stops flowing to your toes and you have a muffin top bigger than the pilsbury dough boy lol!)
