Jeans - help!

I desperately need new jeans. I have always bought M&S Classic jeans which have an elasticated back waistband, or sometimes the elastic was at the sides.

But it seems they're not available any more.

I'm a funny shape so these were the only ones that fitted me perfectly - so now I'm stranded - jeanless!

Has anybody seen this type of jeans anywhere please?

Cotton Traders.

Or get maternity jeans - I do!

Try Landsend.co.uk

Also, jeggings can be good - the wide leg ones look more like jeans and the waists are so comfy.

Cotton Traders are really good and Bonmarche have a reasonable selection.

Landsend's sizings are all over the place. I bought a lovely pair of jeans which fitted perfectly and that I have worn a few times so decided to buy another pair. They were ridiculously enormous round the waist and, when I wrote to Landsend to complain, I received no reply.

I have resorted to wearing a leather belt (M&S) to go round the waists of M&S jeans

I did buy a pair from Bonmarche but they are huge in the waist too and seem to work their way down.
So I have to use the belt with them too.

I just checked eBay, and there are 350 new pairs of M & S classic jeans listed.

Don't you get bunching, jalima? And they don't have enough belt loops either!

Jalima1108 Wed 13-Dec-17 17:38:45

No, they don't need taking in that much (my waist is not that small Kittylester grin), but just enough so they feel more secure

I have abandoned the Bonmarche ones except for gardening as they do tend to start working their way down!

Jalima1108 Wed 13-Dec-17 17:39:25

Do you think they have stopped doing them and someone bought up the remainder in a job lot MissA?

Try Maine in Debenhams.

Brilliant - those replies give me some places to try.

I'll let you know how I get on.

Thank you all.

I find M and S jeggings with elasticated waist are very comfy

Yes, another that suggests you try Maine at Debenhams and while you’re in there also check out Mantaray.

I have discovered some great jeggings in Next. Around £20/22 a pair. They are pull on with an elastic waist,come in various colours and denim. They are the most comfortable jeans I have ever worn. I have them in every colour and wear every day. Really recommend.

Sainsbury's do very comfy jeans that are flattering too - could have a look in there if all else fails!

dragonfly46 Thu 14-Dec-17 10:08:38

M&S Per Una high rise are a nice shape. I also buy from Next as they have four way stretch!

I love bon Marche jeans. I buy the ones with stretch fabric

I live in bonmarche jeans. I find them a good shape for me. They sit comfortably just below my waist and they do a 31 leg (I like my jeans to almost touch the floor). I have got a nice pair of black stretch jeans that I got in sainsburys. If I need to wear a belt I have a plaited elasticated one from Amazon which is really comfortable.

wilygran Thu 14-Dec-17 10:27:43

I go with jeggings too, but have to shop around for ones that fit your personal shape!

JaneD3 Thu 14-Dec-17 10:39:13

Yours - they have shops and online. Their jeans are elasticated, with stretch fabric and I find them really good value. They also do a range of leg lengths including extra short which are great - not too short in the body as M&S were.

sluttygran Thu 14-Dec-17 10:40:00

M&S jeggings are really great and inexpensive too - one of the few products of theirs that I like.
The sizings come in a bit small, tho', so probably best to try in store. Their size 10 usually fits me well, but needed a 12 in jeggings.

Grandson2008 Thu 14-Dec-17 10:51:46

I live in jeggings gave up on bon marche ones as others have said they tend to slide down. I have asda and sainsburys peacocks and roman you have to shop around to find ones that fit you but you will never look back once you do.
