Does anyone have any experiences with ASOS' jeans. Ordering from there for the first time so I wanted to know if their jeans are true to size and of a decent quality ?

I'm always so weary about buying jeans online, Asos have some really good deals on their jeans, but what they call 'skinny' is what i would call baggy, so i just can't be certain. I believe they have quite a reasonable returns policy though

Is it im going for Slim fits and they have the video which shows the model wearing them, and they look right. Would it be worth getting skinnies that would come out as slims or was it just a one off ?

Could have just been a one off, or i just have stupidly skinny legs. Which ones were you looking at ordering, just out of interest?
I think it's worth getting the ones you like, the video catwalk is quite handy actually!

I have the indigo skinny fit jeans, and they're pretty good. I mean you can't expect much more for 30£.

These Which are called slim fits but seem to be inbetween skinny and slim

Yeah I know what you mean the ones im getting are on sale for 12.50 and 17.50.Im just trying to avoid buying stuff that is as poor H&M quality.
ASOS jeans, generally, fit as they describe. I'm about a 30S/32S by ASOS measurements and I've owned about 4 or 5 pairs of their jeans and every one of them has been fine. I had a pair of black skinnies that I couldn't stop wearing for a long time and still wear a couple of pairs nowadays. Their slims are, in my experience, a bit closer to the skinny side, but they are all a good fit :smile:

Really good prices there! Might get myself a pair for the sake of £12.50
Just ordered a few things online from the next sale and it says up to 6 weeks delivery. I've never ordered online with next before but does it really ever take this long?

They say up to six weeks so that you cant ring them up and demand a refund or something like that, in case it doesn't come at a suitable time. Should be 2-5 days.

I've got the blue & tan pairs. Both are really good, and decent price for £18 (although I got mine cheaper :tongue:)

I ordered these off ASOS http://www.asos.com/ASOS/ASOS-Skinny-Light-Wash-Jeans/Prod/pgeproduct.aspx?iid=2174295&cid=5403&Rf-400=53&sh=0&pge=1&pgesize=20&sort=-1&clr=Blue and they were too baggy for my liking. To me their 'super skinny' is pretty much skinny, or you can just size down in skinny if you want :smile:

Their returns policy is excellent though. Free & totally easy. Also, their free delivery is usually pretty quick- I got mine in 4 days once on super saver.

YMLT sounds like you and i are in a similar position when it comes to Skinny jeans, for me the 'stretch skinny' topman ones are perfect.

I've never ordered from Asos but am tempted by some of the £17 'skinny' jeans, with the returns policy do you have to pay to put them into another parcel and post them back?

Yeah, the stretch ones are pretty good (River Island do them too), although I've had a couple of, admittedly cheaper pairs, from Topman that have ended up stretching too much round the waist :frown: I'm quite fussy about jeans ahah

When you get your parcel, just open up the bag it comes in really carefully, then if you need to return it you can put your stuff back in their & sellotape it up :smile: They give you a sticker to put on it then you take it to the post office, or local 'collect plus' point which you can find here http://www.collectplus.co.uk/ Its all completely free :smile:
