OT: Buying jeans that fit .... right.

[jennyleigh1975]

Is it just me, or are all jeans low waisted these days? I dont like the tapered leg jeans anymore, but they seem to be the only ones I can find that arent low waisted or "sits slightly below waist." I have had three children and the "slightly below waist" jeans dont look as well on me as they used to. Does anyone know where I can find some jeans that are straight legged, or boot cut, but that dont have the "low waist" or slightly below waist" fit?

hey jenny-


I would suggest Old Navy jeans- even their low rise are high-waisted (They go up to my bellybutton- to high for me, haha). They have a really conservative cut compared to some other brands, and many boot-cut and boy-cut options. It may take awhile, but you can probably find something that fits well


lol- I have the opposite problem as you- I have a short torso and long legs, so I need to wear low rise or ultra low rise or else the jeans sit at my armpits.

I agree with Amber--Old Navy is a great place to find jeans that fit well. You have many options there. You may also want to try GAP. I have never been able to find any jeans that I like there, but I know many people who have. Some of their jeans seem to be a bit higher waisted. I tend to really like the low waist, though!

I too, agree with the other two


Old Navy is Great! They have like 2 walls that are filled with different jeans, and they have the cut and style at the top of each section. Sometimes color options leave a little to be desired, but they have tons of strech jeans, and sizes from like 3-22 that I've seen. (I never even really wore maternity clothes, I was able to wear the low rise jeans w/ sweatshirts and so forth until the summer.)


Another place that you could try is lane-bryant. They're a little more expensive, but their clothes are of excellent quality!

After kids...well lets just say I can't fit into the low waist jeans anymore WEll I can get in them.....but they just don't fit me good...so I know exactly how you feel about this jean issue!!!!

Good luck and if you find some...let me know Talk soon...Kate

I LOVE low rise jeans, but recently I've put on a few pounds around my middle ( sigh, the things Uni food does to you) and I have trouble wearing them, because everytime I bend over or sit down, I've got the plummers crack! lol.


if anyone knows about jeans that are low rise and don't give you the plumers crack, let me know!


I didn't know old navy had such good jeans - we just got one here so maybe I'll check it out!

Jill-


Moto jeans are the best!!!! (if you can find them- I usually have to go to Simon's in Montreal to get a decent pair). They are low rise- but not so low as to show the plummage. They are also really stretchy, so if you,re having a not-so-thin day they accomodate (and then shrink back once you wash and dry them).


They are my absolute favourite- and come in a variety of styles and washes.

Ha! I was thinking the exact same thing as everyone else... Old Navy! That place is awesome!

[jennyleigh1975]

I will have to go look at Old Navy. I used to go there alot, but it got to where I couldnt find anything anymore. I like the low waist jeans, its just that they dont like me, lol!!!! I really like Levis, which is what I wear the most, but if I get them in the boot cut or the straight leg ......... the waist part wont fit me the way I want it to. Of well, I am going to go check out Old Navy soon.

Thank you everyone!!!!

Leigh funny how you asked this question. Yesterday I watched Oprah and her show was on buying the perfect jeans and the perfect bra. I watched itfor the bra, I want my puppies to be nice and high, well at least higher!

im in the uk and i have problems getting jeans to fit also.I have to get low waisted jeans because my hips are out of proportion to my waist so if i get them to fit my hips, they stick out at the back on my waist. It is so annoying.


I also cannot get a bra to fit meright Hardly anywhere sells largercup sizes and when they do they are so old fashioned and ugly. Im so jealous of people that are like a c cupso can always findthe right size!I went into new look and found some in mysize, and they had really thick padding! What were they thinking padding out a E cup!
