Our model tries six pairs of size 14 jeans… but only one pair fits

MAYBE it does take a jean-ius to get clothes sizes right.

We told yesterday how size 14 student Ruth Clemens blasted H&M for “unrealistic sizing” when their size 16 jeans were too small for her.

Here, size 14 model Geenay Laubscher, 20, from London, tries jeans from six brands, giving her verdict and ratings out of 5.

H&M

It's ridiculous, I can't even do them up

I can understand why Ruth expressed her anger on social media.

It’s so depressing when they don’t fit.

I am usually a size 14 and this is what these jeans are, so it’s ridiculous that I can’t even do them up.

They are uncomfortably tight around the leg too, it’s so deflating.

RATING: 0/5 (WORST) 

Zara

The Skinny, £29.99

If I really had to wear these, I could just about fasten the button.

But I wouldn’t be able to have them on all day.

They would be too tight and irritate my skin.

Plus, breathing might be difficult.

If they weren’t as stretchy, I doubt I would be able to get them over my legs.

I like the style but it’s a big thumbs down for fit.

RATING: 1/5 

Primark

Skinny, £7

These fit snug round the legs and I can do them up without having to pull too hard.

The material is soft and comfortable too.

They are definitely the biggest pair for fit.

I could probably get away with a size smaller round the waist, but they are tight round the leg.

RATING: 2/5

These fit really well and are good for a size 14.

I did struggle a little pulling them over my thighs, but once I got them on they sat much better.

The quality feels really good as well – they are a lot more sturdy instead of stretchy so I think they would be hard-wearing.

Once on, they’re good.

RATING: 3.5/5

Topshop

Baxter skinny, £40

6

They are a little tight round my hips but at least I can do them up.

They have a little stretch in the denim round the top, which definitely helps and makes it easier to do them up.

I find Topshop is quite reliable for jean sizes and it’s good that they do petite and tall.

RATING: 3/5

M&S

Indigo   skinny, £22.50

These flatten the bum — but fit perfectly

These are definitely the best-fitting.

They fit perfectly round the hip and are snug on my legs.

The thick denim makes them sturdy but they also have stretch so they’re still comfy.

The only problem is they seem to flatten my bum, so they’re not very flattering.

A great fit for 14 though.

RATING: 4.5/5 (BEST)
