I will check them out.</p> <p>Sounds like higher rise is the solution. Thanks everyone, I'm so glad I found this site. It completely changed my shopping ways! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/ask-angie-higher-rise-jeans#post-4799 Wed, 30 Apr 2008 14:48:24 +0000 shiny 4799@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>J Brand was another brand I had some luck with. Since you're tall they may be ideal for you. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/ask-angie-higher-rise-jeans#post-4797 Wed, 30 Apr 2008 14:47:51 +0000 shiny 4797@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I don't like flap pockets even though that's the standard recommendation for people with flat butts. I don't like them because often the flap material curls, it also makes weird lumps under tops, and often these pockets are positioned too low making the butt look droopy. </p> <p>Marianne, give Citizens jeans a shot. They fit me the best. I like their Huttons (has a slight flare) because they are higher-rise (hit just below the belly button on me). The Ambers are bootcut and sit a little lower than that, but not TOO low. Pocket placement is perfect. When you have a flat or small butt, pocket size and placement makes ALL the difference in the world. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/ask-angie-higher-rise-jeans#post-4769 Wed, 30 Apr 2008 03:31:52 +0000 marianne 4769@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Thanks Angie, I will try BR. I haven't tried their jeans in 2 years or so.</p> <p>Tanya, now that you mention it I always steered away from jeans with flap pockets. Maybe I should give them a chance, because cargo pants usually work pretty well. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/ask-angie-higher-rise-jeans#post-4746 Wed, 30 Apr 2008 00:59:56 +0000 Angie 4746@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Have you tried BR jeans? Try them all - urban, classic and wide-legs. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/ask-angie-higher-rise-jeans#post-4745 Wed, 30 Apr 2008 00:57:17 +0000 Tanya 4745@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Marianne, in that case case I'd try jeans with mid-rise and back flap-pockets. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/ask-angie-higher-rise-jeans#post-4724 Tue, 29 Apr 2008 21:22:10 +0000 marianne 4724@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Thanks... I always thought NYDJs are sort of matronly. I don't have a tummy problem, it's more that low rise jeans I tried make my butt look non-existent and me sort of top heavy/manly. I was just wondering if higher rise would help this issue. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/ask-angie-higher-rise-jeans#post-4695 Tue, 29 Apr 2008 14:02:15 +0000 Angie 4695@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Anne - the solution is to alter your jeans. Back gaping is a common challenge. </p> <p>Marlene, try NYDJ's and the Soho in longs. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/ask-angie-higher-rise-jeans#post-4682 Tue, 29 Apr 2008 07:57:04 +0000 anne 4682@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Just wanted to say that as one who has also been in and out of maternity clothes I am looking forward to high rise jeans (I am still wearing maternity jeans at the moment) as what really appeals to me is that I imagine they do a much better job of holding the tummy in with none of that "muffin top" effect.<br /> Mind you I tried a pair on the other day and although just at the moment it is the waist area that I am bigger in I still had the same problem I used to have (with a smaller waist) with jeans, that is, gaping at the back. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/ask-angie-higher-rise-jeans#post-4681 Tue, 29 Apr 2008 05:17:50 +0000 marianne 4681@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Hi Angie,<br /> I've been in and out of maternity clothes for the past few years and had little experience with jean shopping. Now it's time for a new pair. I can actually wait until fall but the other day I tried a few low rise pairs at Macy's just for reference (7's and joe's) and it was frustrating. I have the same problem as what Shiny mentioned in a different thread - pants in general seem to be either too baggy in the hips/butt or too tight in the waist/rise. I am fairly tall and slim, probably rectangle. Would you recommend looking for a higher rise? Are there any particular kinds that should work better?<br /> Thanks! </p>
