Wax Coated Skinny Jeans

Over on the Avenue 57 Facebook discussion group we're all in need of some wax coated skinny jeans. They are the perfect piece to take you from day to night, to wear in the day with a simple casual knit and then for the evening with heels and a smarter top.

I bought some in Oasis about 14 months ago and I have to say they are THE BEST item I own. I've worn SO many times and in SO many ways. I am on the hunt for a different colour (mine are black) because I feel so good in them and my husband REALLY likes me in them :-)!





The first time I wore them for my 40th birthday lunch - I felt really good in them.


And then again for a few more nights out ... (seeing my hair long makes me miss it SO much but the reality is it only ever look ok for 2 days a year and for the other 363 days it was crap)




Here is the pair I have and I cannot cannot cannot recommend them highly enough

Oasis - £45 (the best £45 you will EVER spend)!
John Lewis have some (limited sizes) from Oasis at only £36


Here are some more available online (seems to be only black though for under £100).

ASOS - £32 (good waist on them and FAB price)



Mint Velvet via John Lewis - £79 (LOVE the zips)



John Lewis - £59



Mango - £34.99


River Island - £45



Karen Millen via ASOS - £99



Phase Eight - £69 (love these in dark grey)


Fan of the wax coated skinny? Do you own any? Where from?
PLEASE let me know if you find any for under £50 that are not black! I need more in my life.

  2. I think they are fab, fiona, and I am the same as you. I see old photos, when the hair looks ok, but it is true the reality is so far from the pictures we take. xx

  4. Coated skinnies are such a wardrobe staple!! I bought a pair in Zara a couple of years ago and they are still going strong!! Perfect for a dressier alternative to jeans for occasions where you want to dress up! Xx

  5. They look stunning on you, Fiona! Can't blame your husband for liking you in them (I'd buy a backup pair if I were you ;)). Never ever had anything from Oasis, may give these a go as I'm also on the hunt for the wax coated jeans (and actually do want these in black) so thanks for the heads up! Irina x
