As far as shopping experiences go, finding a great pair of jeans isn’t exactly the best
Out of the 30 women I spoke to via Facebook, Whatsapp or email, these jeans were consistently voted as being the best. And it’s easy to see why. They’re high-waisted, which means they’re super flattering, they’re stretchy, which means they fit a variety of shapes, and they come in many different colours.

Merchandising Executive for Red magazine, Sophie Hooper says she loves Levi’s jeans. “The thickness is key, as the worst kind of denim is anything thin and stretchy. All Levi’s jeans are perfectly structured and hold their stiffness forever. I’ve bought vintage pairs in the past, which are still in incredible condition, and every pair seems to just get better with age.” Our readers also agreed with this and voted the Levi Wedgie jeans as being a great pair too.
Hannah Almassi, Who What Wear UK’s editorial director, most recently bought some wide-leg jeans from Warehouse, which she always gets compliments on.
There wasn’t one person who recommended these but a few on Facebook and Instagram. The reasoning was that they are super comfy and give you a great shape. That’s r
