Looking for a nice fitting pair of bootcut jeans?

Hi All

Can anyone point me in the right direction to find a decent pair of bootcut jeans, looking to buy instore rather than online and hopefully not over £35.

Yesterday I tried various styles in Next and M&S. Has Next sizing gone funny? as the size 12's were a little too tight (as expected) but size 14's were too roomy for a good fit!!

I'm probably more of a size 14 than a size 12 though really, and I always buy the longer length jeans.

No where sells size 13 jeans anymore do they?

So what I'm looking for is really just a normal pair of size 14 'long' bootcut jeans, would prefer light/medium blue colour denim. And not too low on waist! Have a bit of a muffin top!

I want to have a 2nd attempt at buying jeans next week before my kids break up for the holidays as once they're off I'll have no chance!

I'm not joking here, have you tried Asda? I'm a size 14/15, so go for the size 14 and find their bootcuts the best fitting. Like you, I go for the long length and a high waist, and now have four pairs. Well, they are under £20 a pair. I go for the ones with lycra so they've got a bit of 'give' in them.

Hi, no I've never thought of there, I don't live that close to an Asda but I'll definately keep it in mind, thanks :j

I love Dorothy Perkins jeans, they are always a good fit. Also, I am the same size for all of their clothing which is handy! Everywhere else I go I have to try on a few different sizes.

I love New Look bootcut jeans. Their sizes are on the small side but as long as you're prepared for that I find them great as there's room for my (generous) bum and they're quite high on the waist. And they're only £9.99!

I have nice pairs from both Sainsburys and Tesco, although never quite long enough for me (I wear a 34" leg normally)

M&S per una range.

Peacocks do some fab long-length dark boot cut jeans for £10.

Have you tried Gap? Their sizes are in inches (rather than dress sizes) so you are more likely to get the right fit, and they do different leg lengths. Not the cheapest but might be worth a look.

i totally love oasis bootcut jeans(scarlett)i have a curvy bum but quite slim legs,i have 3 pairs of these in various shades-and got them all off ebay!:)

id suggest Topshop, just purely coz their jeans last YEARS and YEARS! Their quality is amazeballs. I got some bootcut ones (Jessie) recently in the sale for £25. TALL range mind, all normal ones were £20 or less. Another great one is ZARA... u have mooch through it all though.
