What brand do you wear? And how well have they lasted?

I bought a pair of Primark jeans a while back. They lasted 1 wash before getting really saggy so I had to chuck them.

I generally stick to Levi's cos they seem to last forever. Although i just bought a pair of Top Shop jeans, so I will see how long they last.

I have never really been able to wear jeans. I cant find any that fit nicely.

I bought a pair from Peacocks a few years back. They fit nicely in the shop, but after wearing them for a few hours they stretched. I literally spent all my time hitching them up and getting really annoyed with them. They were also too long.

Im 5 foot 7 inches and a size 16. I have a small waist and a bigish bum. I hate hipsters as they ride down your bum when you sit exposing your knickers. But i cant find any that fit my waist and my bum.

I have a pair of Skinny Jeans from H & M that I tell my friends I want to be buried with.

I am pretty small, but I have hips and a butt with a small waist. It is very hard for me to find a pair of jeans that go past my butt without being baggy around the waist.

One lovely sunday (yes I remember the day ) I came across these jeans on sale (£9.99). I tried it on and it hugged my waist and butt perfectly. It was low rise so I was worried about flashing my butt crack, but it fit so well that my butt crack is never on show.

I have had it for almost 2 years now and I hope I have it for longer.I plan on dyeing it once it starts to fade.

J Brand 12" skinnies. It's lasted a few years and is the most flattering pair of skinnies I've ever tried on. I've always found it hard to find decent skinnies as my hips are about 33", my waist is 24" and I'm only 5'3".
I've tried topshop, sass and bide, diesel, hudson, true religion, dorothy perkins, lee and levis and J Brand is the best fitting for my size and shape.

I've got a pair of Special Edition Diesel skinny jeans that should've been about £160 for £25 Only problem was there is a hole under the crotch that grew bigger and bigger Had to patch it up, but you can see it when i sit down!

I wore my jeans from H&M before a large hole appeared at the bottom of one leg, and a second one appeared recently. Nevertheless, I still love them and will continue to wear them.

My primark jeans also lasted just one wearing before the stitching came loose on both legs

Not sure if I'm putting my jeans through too much or if I'm just unlucky

I've bought a few Moto, Topshop own brand, jeans - they fit me nicely and have lasted a few years - I've had my 2 favourite pairs for about 10 years now, I reckon.

Never owned Levis - although I have 2 Levi jackets - as I've never found any that fit right and much as I love Primark, I don't think I'd risk them with jeans.

Having said that though, I bought a non-brand pair from my High St. early on this year for £5.99 - which wash and fit very well indeed - and someone at work thought they were VB's.

I love jeans from Dorothy Perkins tbh. They seem to last well as well, although mine don't go too long since I LIVE in mine.

The places I find the jeans fit best are Topshop, Oasis and Levis.

I love Topshop jeans, most annoying thing is I find myself inbetween sizes in there, 14 is too big and 12 is too small! Shame because everything else in there I am a 12

I've yet to find a special pair of jeans.

I love jeans form River Island for fit and design. I am suprised they haven't been mentioned. My HM jueans developed a hole so I chucked them and I have a well fitted pair of New Look jeans from ages ago!

Jane Norman jeans or if you have more cash, Paige premium jeans are good too.

All my jeans are New Look at the moment - I'm growing to loathe boot-cut jeans and I've found that straight leg suits me pretty well (I hope) and New Look do some great ones (they're the ones that are called 'Polka') for £20, plus I get student discount + 2.5% VAT off, so they end up around £17.50 instead.

Another vote for Topshop jeans here!

Might have to invest in a pair of Levis though..

Mine are all New Look at the moment, but they're not the best fit. I'm sure there's better ones out there but I never have the patience to look. I hate jeans shopping!!

Always have problems with hips, due to long legs, and big hips with a small waist. I did find that Principles long did the job though. Also, for anyone pregnant, Crave Maternity are expensive but fit really well, and have a nice finish. I am currently living in my boyfriend cut ones.

Difficult to describe, but it's a fairly new shape. Sort of as if you were wearing your bf's jeans. A bit slouchy and wide in the leg.

True Religion, PRPS, Chrisitian Audigier, Diesel and Evisu.

They all have lasted, the colour tends to fade as it does with any brand but then just don't wash them often

If you like them just buyy them!

What will everyone wear when jeans (presuming they will one day) go out of fashion?

to be honest I dont think they will EVER go out of fashion. A few years ago they suffered the "Jeremy Clarkson" effect and went through a few years of not being so popular. but then the designers got their act together and they are now 10 times better than they ever were. Just bought a pair of "Nudie" jeans from Urban Outfitters. £50 down from £75. They are the best quality I have got for years. Very stiff( a bit like they used to be in the 70's, when they would stand up on their own), and a brilliant fit. Mind you i need to try on loads to find the right ones.
