Skinny Jeans That Won't Stretch

    Does anyone know the best place to get skinny jeans that won't stretch? I bought a gorgeous, high waisted pair from New Look but eventually they stretched around my knees and calves so now they just look weird and baggy when I wear them. Sometimes I try smaller sizes but theyre too big on my legs. I don't have super skinny legs but skinny jeans just don't like me. I'm willing to spend a lot if I have to. I just need a perfect pair!

    I like the River Island ones. I find them a good fit and they don't lose shape between washes. The pair I have now I've had for nearly a year I think and they're still going strong! They're more stretchy than the Topshop ones but that helps them stay in shape. I'd have to wash my Topshop ones way more often just to get them back into shape.

    Agree with Twee, the best ones I have found are the River Island ones.
    The Vera Moda supersoft skinny jeans do stretch but I have found if I tumble dry them they fit really nice and snug again, but I literally have to wash them after every wear which does fade the colour.

    This is probably extreme, but my mother has told me that when she was going out her & her friends used to put on their jeans and sit in a tub of hot water with the jeans on, which would shrink them to their skin and then let them dry while on... haven't tried it personally! ;)

    I got a pair in true religion in kildare village and they are the best jeans ever.... They are actually called jeggings but they are a jeans, button and zip not elastic waist. I can wear them a couple of times and they never stretch, nice high waist but not too high. They cost me 125 but I definitely spent that last year buying different skinny jeans and none of them being right after buying and are just sitting in my wardrobe, these are worth every penny!!!

    I've got one pair from Zara that seem to be bulletproof! They're a stiffer denim than the super soft stretchy ones and they're brill. I bought them over a year ago though so I don't know if they'd still have that sort in stock.

    I've had a pair of indigo "Cherry" jeans from Oasis for I think 3 years now. They have faded a little bit but still look fantastic, I still get complimented when I wear them and they hold theirs shape extremely well.

    I actually bought a pair of the Oasis Cherry range jeans yesterday so I'm glad to hear they are recommended on here. Lovely fit, but haven't worn them yet bar trying them on.
