Do you have a favourite pair of Jeans??

Loopy

I cant seem to get out of Jeans, I adore them.

Do you have a favourite pair? That look good no matter what?
Where and when did u buy them?

Mine are a pair of Ms Sixtys I got about 4 years that still look great and are so godamnn comfy..

(for some reason even when I put on a stone they still fit?)

watna

Yes, I have a pair of miss selfridge jeans that I love. They're just the right length which is really hard for me to find because I'm short, but not always short enough for petite jeans. They're very slim (are my skinny jeans!)

I have put weight on and there's no way I'll even get them up my thighs!

Mrs_Doyle

I have a Fave pair of jeans. I call them my 'Buns of Steel' jeans.
I bought them about 6 years ago, and they haven't fit me for 3 of those 6 years
I won't throw them out though, I keep telling myself that maybe one day they will fit me again. Ha

Should of gone for stretch:p

Aisling(",)

ive a pair of 3 year old dark wash skinny jeans from river island that are still nice and skinny even with a stone varying in weight

also have a favourite pair of combat jeans from dunnes 2 years old and as comfy as ever

Cazlou

I had a pair of jeans that I bought from Hairy Legs must've been about 13 years ago now, they were the comfiest, softest, loveliest jeans ever and I wore them religiously for best part of 10 years, even when I lost weight I still held them up with a belt, even though they were humungous and all bunched up I was gutted one evening a couple of years ago when I went to sit down and I got this whoosh of air around my thighs and stood back up to discover the a*se of the jeans had ripped - on both sides!!!:eek::eek:

The nearest I've come to them now is a pair of Vila combat jeans I bought in Roches to take their place and a pair of 'boyfriend jeans' I bought in River Island last summer:) but they're STILL not the same :rolleyes:

Silverfish

I've three pairs of favourite jeans. Not one comes up past my knees anymore.

I've clung obsessively to one pair ( A size 8) for about 5 years now, claiming I'll fit back into them.

Macha

I'm tall & curvy. Firetrap & Oasis jeans are the only ones I'll go for.

Yeh same, Im tall so find it hard getting the perfect long leg. Have a great pair from Oasis too, comfy as hell. A-Wear actually have some nice jeans too, great fit and very cheap..

Macha

Yeah I got a pair from them but I would only fit into a size 16 :mad: - never a good feeling. Plus I cycle a lot & they've started to wear where my leg hits the saddle - I suppose you get what you pay for..

LivingDeadGirl

A pair of Levi's I bought in the States last summer, sort of in between pale and dark blue with a glimmer of brown through them(I'm aware that makes no sense!), flared leg, just such a comfy everyday jean you can wear with anything.
A close second would be my River Island skinnies with the studded back pockets, so great with boots or heels! I wear them with my thick studded belt and I feel cool. :cool:

Bah! Sizes don't matter it is how they look on you!

I did have a pair from topshop and they were a 12 i wore them down to the ground hehe
i bought them when i was 16 and i threw them out when i was 20, they were kinda a weaved denim very pale

I had a similiar pair from firetrap which i only threw out 2 weeks ago, they were a bit frayed at the end and looked a bit tight then in the end
I have a pair from topshop I got 2 and a half years ago that have only gotten tight in the last 6 months ( bold me has put on weight)
I'm keeping them as its is the size i want to stay at

piscean

Would have to be my grey Topshop skinny jeans because they fit like a glove and give the illusion of being thinner than I am:o

alexj9

I have a pair of ralph loren geans that I love to wear but since I had my baby 19 mounths ago I can't get them to fit.

I am still losing weight though so they may fit soon.

watna

It's funny that loads of people here got too big/small for their favourite jeans. Maybe we should have a ladies lounge jeans swapping day where we can all bring our fave non-fitting jeans and swop for a pair that do fit!

Orlee

My favourite jeans have holes inside the thighs because I've worn them too much - can't bring myself to throw them out though

Lil' Smiler

hmm... yes I do, I have 2 pairs from Jane Norman that I love. They do a great suck and tuck and the best thing is the black pair i have are a size 8 and a little too big for me :) Happy days!! In the blue pair, i have an 8 for skinny days and a 10 for bloated days!!

TequilaMockingBird

I have a pair of size 8 jeans, at the moment though I'm double that. I was thinking about framing them, and hanging it inside the front door.

Guest: Hi Sueme
Sueme: Hi, I was once a size 8 yunno!?
Guest: Em... okay.. thats great..
Sueme: No, really, look these are the jeans... look!!!
Guest: Ookay..
Sueme: NOOO...LOOK AT THEM. I WAS A SIZE 8!!

I have a pair of Levis that I've had about 18months and they always fit perfectly. My weight has shot up and down a good bit in that time but they always look good on me. I love them

I also have a pair of River Island ones I got just before Xmas that I love as well, although they're kinda too skinny for going out, which is a shame.

I only ever wear jeans, I have 18 pairs...is that normal?!

Perfectly normal my dear.. I have about 20 pairs. Have a few pairs from River Island but find after a few washes they look baggy and nasty!

stratospheres

I have a pair that I think I bought in Rude or Catch or one of them shops (?!) for about 20 euro a few years ago, dark skinnies with sort of fading down the legs, and I still love them!
The button popped off but I just wear a big belt with them now!

Femelade

I have a black pair of "shimmy" jeans from new look that i love, but the black is kinda fading from them, so might need to dye them or something.
I cleared out my wardrobe the other week and i found a gorgeous pair of "going out" jeans, and i cant for the life of me remember why i dont wear them anymore..i think they got too tight..but i put them on and they fit fine again, they are A wear jeans.

and i found a pair of baggy "susst" (yeah, susst, remember them?)and they are the perfect comfy jeans for hanging around the house..they too had been too small for me. i've lost nearly a stone in a month, thats due to ilness and personal problems..

and if i could just mention my david and goliath combats..the most comfiest pants i own..not jeans though.

Blush_01

I got my favourite jeans last summer. They were on the sale rail and had been reduced down to €12 or €18. They're great - regardless of how much I weigh they're perfect. They're like the jeans in The Sisterhood of the Travelling Pants.

Stench Blossoms

I bought a new pair of black skinny jeans in River Island a few weeks ago. They are my favourite simply because they are a size 8!!

Crumble Froo

i have an awesome pair of purple baggy ones. admittedly they're about 5years old... are an entire other shade now to what they were, but they have this awesome blue thread in them.

Bendihorse

I love any of my true religion jeans as the denim is so soft and the shape and cut of them is SO comfy, its like wearing tracksuit bottoms! And they still manage to look good I have one pair that are well beyond redemption, they are abour 3 years old and i wear them horse riding and everything! They are practical and still look relatively good

I only wear the 'Bobby' version, ie no flaps on the tops of the pockets, they are a better fit than the ones with the flaps.

scoot on

My mom bought me a pair of jeans in Spain about 4 years ago. She got them in a market for twenty years ago. I swear to god they're the nicest jeans I've ever had and I've worn them to death. I can't wear them anymore because they're after tearing from wear and tear. And I can't find a pair like them anywhere. I'm absolutely disgusted!

Ok seeing as no-one has mentioned vera moda, I got a pair there that just fitted beautifully (bit low rise but ass and thighs gorgeous with bit of flare) Perfect with heels but unfortunately me's put on teeny bit (ahem...) of weight temporarily.... Anyway, will be back in them soon! For jeans with runners I have a confession. I hate the feel of jeans in Penney's (not proper denim) BUT I picked up a dark denim boyfriend pair in a proper thick denim material for slobbing around house and it turned out they were fab on me, lovely on the ass and thighs too! Not skinny and not baggy, actually very classy looking, they still look good with tailoured jacket. About 15e I'd say and I live in them!

Actully I forgot about my Vera Moda jeans, i wonder where they are!! I have apair and they fit perfectly although they are all ripped at the end!! Nice figure hugging jeans except the zip is a little dodge in them now!!

Silverfish

IMPORTANT ANNOUNCEMENT.



Today, it was discovered that my 'fat jeans' no longer fit.


To the fitness forum!

No wait, its too far.

shell63

LOL lil smiler, I totally forgot about the dodgy zip until you mentioned it! I had an er... incident where I appeared in front of a class full of people flying low, that was a great day to discover the zip kept slipping when I walked... Hopefully when I lose a few pounds tho I won't have that problem! (optimism or naivite hehehe)

Lil' Smiler

Actually now that you mention it, I think the last time I wore them was when I thought I'd put on loads of weight but as it turns out it was swelling on my back from my compressed discs.... must dig them out! hopefully the zip won't keep slipping down!!

I've looked for a pair like them in VM again but have never found a similar pair!!

goldfish007

i absolutely LOVE jeans as well, always wear them, must have over 20 pairs in the wardrobe but yet my fav pair are by miss sixty, that i got when i was 16 (im now 21!), ive 5pairs or miss 60 from yrs ago and now when i go into miss 60, all their jeans are ****?? they dont make them like they used to

Lil' Smiler

I have a pair of jeans from Miss Sixty I got 4 years ago in Italy for less than half the price and they haven't lost the shape or colour or anything!! Great jeans, nice and comfy although I'm a little unsure of the ass, i think it's a bit weird, my bf has assured me otherwise.

Trying to think how many pairs I have..

3 from Jane Norman - my "going out" jeans
1 Vera Moda - casual going out jeans
1 River Island
1 Bershka - 3/4 length
1 Susst from years ago that are sooooo comfy and nicely baggy without being too baggy
1 Miss Sixty


I probably have more somewhere. I had a pair from Pull & bear that were PERFECT on my ass but then they seemed to suddenly shrink a bit, i realised one day to my horror that the ends were nearly at my ankles

doctor evil

Love jeans!

Can never find a decent pair that fits

Creachadóir

My favourite jeans are from Vero Moda.
I also like Tommy Hilfiger.

I don't really like river island, top shop, oasis or ralph lauren for jeans, though I own pairs from these stores. I didn't like A wear in the past, but I got a pair from their new range that's ok (I have a lot of jeans...)


I love tight jeans (not stetchy ones - give me too much thighs!), with a kick at the bottom. A flare/bootleg. Any suggestions? (PS I'm short)

whatsgoinon

my favourite pairs of jeans are a pair i bought in next many years ago, there is a hole in the knee of the right leg and no matter how many times I sew it, it always rips again due to the denim being so worn.

Another pair i got in a-wear 2 years ago, baggy cargo jeans, i love them, uber comfy and quite willing to expand and retract with my waistline which thank god isn't too often.

I have long legs and a small waist and its quite hard to find jeans that suit. I have a pair from The Jean Scene, which fit really well but I noticed after I bought them that there is some kind of stupid pattern thing on the front shin part, i wear them when its dark so nobody can see!!

Nightwish

My favourite pair of jeans are 9 year old black Susst flared jeans. I love them, I love the style and shape of them. I cannot seem to get anything similar to replace them when they eventually become unwearable. Its all skinny leg or bootleg, neither of which suit me at all.

smiles

Love jeans, being rather tall I tend to have a bit of difficulty finding good 'tall' jeans.

Current favs: (everyone keeps asking me where I got them) -- New Look tall range (I was so surprised they were so great) -- perfect length, dark navy and ultra soft and forgiving of the christmas pounds!

Other than that? Used to love Dorothy Perkins and A-wear but have been sticking with Long Tall Sally of late.

Tommy Hilfiger are my favorite. tesco had a very good range of jeans such as bootcut. Some good quality in thoe jeans with polyester etc for only 15 euro compared to dunnes stores rubbish for 50 euro. No offence Dunnes store's but give up on the crap clothes or compete.

Oh I found 3 more pairs there the other day
1 from Awear (love them except the ends are ripped )
1 from Pull & bear could prob go out
1 from vera moda

so i have 11 pairs :eek:

beaushalloe

i think i have the oddest shape in the world, but for some reason pull and bear jeans (sicko 19)suit me to a tee! only thing is thing is the sizes are hust mental, i have all sorts from boyfriend, to wide leg to skinnies and they are ranging in size from a 14 to an 8 and they all fit! theres good strech in most of them, so even on a fat day they'll mould to my shape! yea!:p

CrazyPolly

Wow...I had no idea women were so mad about jeans. I have 2 pairs and that's it. Black skinny ones from Topshop and skinny blue ones from some shop in America...that's it. I'm more of a skirts and dresses lady these days, I think that's why.
I did have a nice pair from topshop that I had for 4-5 years but they got a bit old and worn. I cut them into a nice pair of shorts recently which I'm quite fond of.
I honestly don't get why people love jeans so much though. For me a skirt or dress with tights or leggings is much more comfortable. Can anyone explain?
