Shoppers across the UK are declaring a new pair of jeans from Next the perfect find, with many buying multiple pairs after dubbing them their "Goldilocks" denim. The high-rise wide-leg style, priced at a wallet-friendly £35, is being celebrated for its flattering fit and comfort, with one enthusiast admitting she's "hardly taken them off" since purchase.
The 'Just Right' Fit and Fabric
Available in three versatile colours – dark blue, rinse blue, and black – the jeans are crafted from a practical blend of 98% cotton and 2% elastane. This composition provides the structure of traditional denim with a hint of stretch for ease of movement and all-day comfort.
The retailer has made a concerted effort to cater to a wide range of body types and heights. The jeans come in sizes six to 22 in regular, with further options including small, tall, petite, XL, and XXL fits. Specific inside leg measurements ensure a good match for most:
- Short: 27" / 69cm
- Regular: 29" / 74cm
- Long: 31" / 79cm
- XL Tall: 33" / 84cm
- XXL Tall: 35" / 89cm
Shopper Reviews: Comfort and Style for the Festive Season
With an impressive overall rating of 4.6 stars from numerous reviews, customer feedback has been overwhelmingly positive. The style is being touted as ideal for festive parties and casual wear alike.
One delighted customer encapsulated the sentiment, writing: "Goldilocks jeans. I've been searching for ages for the right shape and fit for wide leg jeans for my size and shape. After being disappointed so many times, I have found these, and they are just right." They praised the super-comfy fit, high waist that "keeps everything tucked in," and the leg width that was "not too wide," leading them to buy both blue shades.
Another fan echoed this enthusiasm, stating: "Flattering, comfortable, nicely made and easy to wear – since I have bought them I’ve hardly taken them off. I even bought a pair in a different colour." A third reviewer highlighted the stylish cut and the practical two-button high waistband.
How Next's Denim Stacks Up Against Competitors
At £35, Next's offering positions itself as a strong value proposition in the current market. For comparison, Marks & Spencer sells a similar pair of smart high-rise wide-leg jeans for £45, while Boden has high-rise fitted flares currently on offer, reduced from £119 to £83.30.
While feedback is largely stellar, the jeans haven't been a perfect fit for everyone. One shopper noted that the petite length was still too long for her 5'2" frame, leading to a return. This highlights the importance of checking the specific leg measurements provided by Next before ordering.
Nevertheless, for a significant number of shoppers, the search for the ideal pair of wide-leg jeans appears to be over. The combination of trend-led design, inclusive sizing, and a mid-range price point has cemented these jeans as a standout high-street hit as the party season gets into full swing.
