Shopping in the UK is pretty shitty if you live outside of London tbh.

Qlo are good for black skinnies or selv if you're into that. Weekday do a really good lightwash jean too for like £35. Pic related, I got one above my usual size and took in the waist for the ideal fit, although that really depends on your leg size.
