Dropped crotch without droopy butt?

I know the current fashion is for a slouchier looser fitting trouser with a dropped crotch but I find it hard to find such a pant. I have a pretty flat derriere and find that my slouchy fit doesn't look too slouchy from the front but the backside is baggy and droopy.

Can one find slouchy in the front without getting droopy in the back? Is it just my gluteally challenged self that has this issue?

I belong to the flat butt club too and i have decided to steer clear of the slouchy trouser and jean trend. Sorry I have no other solution for you.

Anxiously awaiting the answer to a question that I've wondered myself!

My solution is to avoid looking at my rear view. Denial, the ultimate fashion fix!

@Una: LOL! That is the ultimate solution. Now if I can only figure out how to be face forward to everyone 100% of the time (or at least around DH!)

I shall proudly join the ranks of the Flat-Butted who ignore the rear view!

Hehehe, I think Una's suggestion just might work. I also have flat bottom syndrome, so I don't think they will work for me either!

Una's suggestion is very tempting but is it really fair to inflict diaper butt on the rest of the population? Those I see most often are people I really like - I even love some of them.

Diaper Butt made me chuckle!! Honestly though, seeing my daughter in a diaper, it is less diaper butt (as usually her pants and quite fitted through a large and roundish diaper) and more MC Hammer pants!

Hehe, I'm with Una. But you know what, surprisingly my SO likes how my backside looks in all my slouchy droopy pants! So maybe it's not as bad as one might think...

I think Una's answer is the only solution, TBH. I am just not sure how one could achieve slouchy in the front without slouchy in the back, too. A person has to take the good with the bad when it comes to things like this, I think, and decide whether the front view/comfort/happiness factor outweighs the droopy butt!

I tried some slouchy pants at Cos today that I loved....and loathed. I thought they were going to be like the Leith trousers on me. But instead, they had so much pouf and sag in the front that...well, who cared about the back view/? They looked gross.

When it works, it works okay even though it is loose in back. That is all I can say.

I think you're probably after a straighter cut Dianthus, one where if it weren't slouchy wouldn't have extra room in the seat you know? The cut has to start off as being slimmer there to begin with if you want a less baggy rear view.

I agree: I don't think it's possible to have a dropped crotch from the front, but no dropped crotch from the back, unless one is a magician and can do some sort of optical illusion or fancy sleight of hand :)!

I don't know, but I returned the Leith pants due to diaper butt syndrome. DBS plus postpartum apple belly is not a pretty combination! I think I'm going to have to pass on this trend...

K. Period.

I suffer from gluteus minimus as well. The only sure way that I know to fix droopy butt is with patch pockets, but that just doesn't work with dropped crotch trousers. I think that the closest you can come is a compromise where you have some relaxed bagginess in the front, but not a lot, and therefore some, but not a lot, sagginess in the back. That's why I gave up on boyfriend jeans and went with my Old Friend Jeans.

Una is spot on. You have to bat for Team Front and let it be.

That said, if you can fill out the back with a perky bottom - it helps. But perky bottoms often come with fuller thighs which means sizing up even more to create slouch on the hip area - this brings you back to a droopy rearside. (At this stage I have had SO much practice fitting slouch onto body types - I see things in my sleep).

K has a point. My new True Religion BF jeans have huge back pocket flaps that do help a little.

Cathy, high five! Greg likes it all too.......hmmmm. I take that back. Maybe not body con. He's not fond of bottoms that are overly tight.

Actually I like how my butt looks in slightly slouchy pants and jeans! Here we go - I am apparently in denial

Sveta, I think you have a bit more curve on your back end than I do so it doesn't give the droopy look. Perhaps a better description would be the appearance of an empty bag hanging down in the back.

Dianthus, I can totally relate and am about to post my "experience" with droopy butt, and I thought I had a butt. I love the silky, slouchy pants, but have yet to find something that works. I know how you're feeling.

Sveta, that looks great! And since we're sharing...
