Shopping for jeans is often as enjoyable as buying swimsuits or dealing with hair removal – not very much. The trend of wearing denim from head to toe once belonged solely to farmers and the gold prospectors of 1849, but nowadays, it’s a style statement among the trendiest people. And that’s a good thing. Considering how often jeans are worn, and how just thinking about shopping for them can ruin your day (and possibly cause you to drop your White Russian cake pops in dismay), it’s crucial to find a way to bypass the annoyance of trying on pair after pair. Whether bespoke, custom fitted, or just upcycled and renewed, we’ve found your indigo saviors.
Finding the perfect size of jeans is always a challenge, and many of us find ourselves wishing for a size that falls somewhere in between the standard options. So most of us are rejoicing at the news that Next have created ‘in-between’ sizes for some of its jeans, to allow their customers to get the ‘best fit’.
The new sizes begin at 11, making them ideal for those who find themselves in between a size 10 and a size 12. They also come in 13, 15 and go up to a size 17.
Their skinny, slim and boot cut jeans for women, all priced at £22, will be available in the new sizes, as well as their Chino trousers.
This introduction of new sizes means that six pairs of the brand’s jeans are now available in these intermediary sizes. This selection includes their Skinny Jeans in Dark Blue, Slim Jeans in both Dark Blue and the Forever Black and White options, as well as the Boot Cut Jeans in Forever Black and White.
The brand also hinted that should these in-between sizes go down well then they may expand the sizes to other sections of their range.
In a statement the the brand explained: ‘Next are always looking for ways to help women feel amazing in what they wear.
‘After spending time with our customers and listening to their feedback, we have decided to trial in-between sizes in some of our favourite jeans and tailoring pieces to ensure that we are offering them the best fit possible.’
Let’s hope this development encourages more brands to not only offer jeans in in-between sizes but to extend this consideration to their entire clothing range as well.
