jeans buying advice

[Popsicle]

I have heard good reports about Topshop Martha straight leg jeans for women with arses and thighs but not tried them myself

I was about to recommend these.

Or Uniqlo have a straight leg and a bootcut which both fit well around the hips and bum.

Topshop. I have some called Cory, they are not washing well though. They are boyfriend jeans which I like.

Thank you all for the Martha recommendations - they are indeed a wonder as THEY FIT!!!! And, to make things even better, they come in a length I can wear heels with, something that is a miracle by itself.

Urbanites know EVERYTHING

So good you had to tell us twice. Glad they fit.

yeah they're pretty good, i carry all my weight in my thighs and bum and finding a pair of these in short leg length was the pinnacle of my jean buying life

you can usually find them for about a tenner less than shop price on ebay too

This sounds quite promising for someone with a big arse and thighs I might have to have a look.

Erm... so how do you measure jeans like this? I know it's waist and leg, but if my thighs are bigger (way bigger) than my waist, then what do I do?

Nudie jeans. nuff said.

Martha jeans didn't work for me and my big hips, big thighs and little waist
They weren't all bad but I had to go up a size (usually a 10 but they wouldn't go on my thighs ). Gaping at the waist. Too long and too skinny for my liking.
I will never find nice jeans that fit.

 

[ethel]

gap curvy!

 

[Biddlybee]

Do they come in different lengths sarahluv?

I might go trying on jeans tomorrow.

 

[ethel]

they do indeed. 30, 32, 34 as far as i remember.

 

[Biddlybee]

They might do different lengths, but topshop on oxford street only had sizes 6, 8 and 10... round my arse? I don't think so. Checked gap...only bootcut jeans, warehouse no jeans, uniqlo only skinny jeans, M&S... just wrong jeans, dotty P's skinny or boot cut.... where the fck does jeans that are just straight leg, but fit round the arse of a larger lady, i.e. bigger than a fucking size 12!

 

[ethel]

Gap should have more than just bootcut! The uniqlo skinny ones are worth a go tbh. They aren't that tight.

 

[Biddlybee]

Gap did have a few straight cut jeans, but nothing above a 30" waist. Skinny jeans just ain't for my figure

 

[trashpony]

I can't do skinny jeans either - they just look weird and wrong on people with hips and short legs IMO.

I am waiting for my marthas to arrive *drums fingers*

Where did you find these jeans trashy?

They only had 6, 8, 10 and 12 in topshop. I'm a 12 on top, but my thighs ain't a 12

I bought them off ebay. I have no idea if the 12 will fit me either - unfortunately they don't give thigh measurements

 

[trashpony]

Yay - they are here and they are really nice!

bee - they go up to waist 34 according to the topshop website but have a look on ebay - I got mine for £9

 

[Biddlybee]

I think I need to measure my waist it's definitely smaller than round my thighs though.
