And I get the sad bum effect.<br />I've worn the jeans for 3 days, ~3 hours each day and not only they still feel uncomfortable but they give me lots of wrinkles around the knee and under the bum. I think I might return them. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/do-hm-jeans-stretch#post-1616118 Mon, 15 Feb 2016 03:42:21 +0000 Anonymous 1616118@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I bought mine at a local H&amp;M store rather than online. I wanted the burgundy and took many sizes to the fitting room. I'm not sure what the size chart would say, but I always size up in skinny jeans so that they are more of a slim straight on me. This is because of my age not a dislike of tight jeans on others. I hope that your jeans loosen up for you. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/do-hm-jeans-stretch#post-1615904 Sun, 14 Feb 2016 18:11:09 +0000 ladyjules 1615904@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Phew, glad to find that they will get more comfortable than this. I've worn them today for 6 hours or so (they started getting soft at one point), took them down and now I put them on again and they feel tight again haha. I suppose I have to deal with this for a few days more. I never take sizes for granted. Sizes are relative to the brand, but it is best to find the exact meaning of that size-- look up a size chart, I mean.&nbsp; Doesn't size 12 in H&amp;M correspond to your measurements? Because for me, if a 34 means a 64cm waist, it means that. I almost never had issues with H&amp;M sizing. That's why I'm buying these jeans in the exact size they recommend. Sometimes I would order a size up because my size was too tight, and find out that the pair stretched to the size number it had on the tag. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/do-hm-jeans-stretch#post-1615870 Sun, 14 Feb 2016 17:00:34 +0000 Anonymous 1615870@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I have 2 pair of skinny H&amp;M jeans, at least a year old, that have stretched a little but do not get baggy. They have been washed several times but never put in the dryer. Mine are burgundy and olive, both 3% elastane, about 70% cotton, 27% polyester. They were rather tight at first but have eased up and I am very happy with them.<br /> Have you tried wearing them around the house for a few hours to see how they feel?<br /> ETA: I wear most jeans from a 2 to size 6 and my H&amp;M jeans are size 12! They must be worn with a belt. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/do-hm-jeans-stretch#post-1615760 Sun, 14 Feb 2016 09:46:48 +0000 ladyjules 1615760@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>This specific pair is just like this one: <a href="http://www2.hm.com/ro_ro/productpage.0306688002.html" rel="nofollow">http://www2.hm.com/ro_ro/produ.....88002.html</a> (the dark blue wash one). I didn't find my size in the department stores so I ordered it online. The next size was slightly large in the hips especially.<br />I also found a similar composition (19% poly, 2%elasthane-- the rest is cotton)&nbsp;pair of jeans just like this pair, but not bootcut. Instead they are skinny. The fabric feels the same as that pair I ordered online. Stretchy and soft. I liked how they fit in the fitting room but they are a little small around my waist, but soft at the same time. Not uncomfortable, I'd say. But I do hate the idea of wearing tight jeans 100% of my time. I bought them with the hope that they will stretch. I don't have experience with h&amp;m jeans, neither with poly and cotton blends. The 98% cotton 2% elasthane jeans I have have stretched indeed. I was hoping these would as well. What do you think? Do h&amp;m jeans stretch in general? </p>
