I definitely have to do some more shopping around when I have the means. I have thought about switching my search to thick pairs of leggings for that tight fit, but I like the look and feel of jeans. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/jeggings-advice#post-2004283 Wed, 20 Feb 2019 17:59:52 +0000 kkards 2004283@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>i'm wondering if instead of jeggings you need leggings that look like jeans...a knit instead of a woven... </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/jeggings-advice#post-2004272 Wed, 20 Feb 2019 17:19:04 +0000 Jules 2004272@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>You inspired me out of my sick bed to try on some jeans For clarity, I have two pairs of the Gap mid-rise sculpt skinnies in burgundy and olive, not traditional blue. Upon inspection, there is some extra fabric around the knees, more so for the pair I already wore once since washing. But the fit in the shin and calf is very snug. They are ankle length, but not skin tight at the bottom hem, which I actually prefer to balance out my figure just a touch and keep them on the pants side of jeggings. But I generally wear these under boots anyway, and they do work under riding boots without looking like I stuffed in straight pants.<br /> My other favourites are the Mavi Alexa and I think the fit in the knee is slightly better. But I have to say if you can get the Gap sculpt jeans at 40%, the denim quality is like a mid-range brand similar to Mavi at a great price. Mine are in constant rotation this winter and I got them for $50 CA.<br /> Looking at these photos which I will leave up briefly, they may be more pants-like than you want? This is my preference so I may be biased And I do see the bagging around the knee, but it doesn’t bother me IRL. I might just be used to it. I think my legs are also proportionately longer above the knees so I always wonder if my knees are in the right place of the pant </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/jeggings-advice#post-2004197 Wed, 20 Feb 2019 12:44:36 +0000 gryffin 2004197@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>The mother of all jeggings.&nbsp; I sized up for a little looser fit.&nbsp; I don't wear jeggings and I adore these, especially the black!&nbsp; You can sleep and do yoga in these and very flattering. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/jeggings-advice#post-2004195 Wed, 20 Feb 2019 12:28:03 +0000 April 2004195@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>If you're on a quest and don't mind the extra effort, you can have the knees of jeans tailored.&nbsp;&nbsp;</p> <p> </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/jeggings-advice#post-2004154 Wed, 20 Feb 2019 06:03:31 +0000 Gigi 2004154@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>If you shop on the Nordstrom site, a lot of times they will give the measurement for the ankle opening. You can measure your ankles and see what would be a skin-tight fit for you. If you can find something with a very narrow ankle circumference, chances are the fit through the knees will be slim also.</p> <p>I have had good luck with Loft and Ann Taylor for skinny ankles and calves. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/jeggings-advice#post-2004103 Wed, 20 Feb 2019 00:28:05 +0000 gebliz 2004103@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>@Jules&nbsp; Those sound good, I'll have to try those. They aren't too loose at your knees? Most of the jeggings I wind up with look like straight leg skinnys at best, what with how loose they are below my thighs. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/jeggings-advice#post-2004094 Tue, 19 Feb 2019 23:33:08 +0000 Jules 2004094@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>The Gap’s sculpt jeans are the most ‘calf-sucking’ skinnies I’ve owned. I’m a size 12/32 and have larger hips and upper thighs that taper/slope/angle in a lot to the knee. With free returns might be worth a try anyway? </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/jeggings-advice#post-2004093 Tue, 19 Feb 2019 23:27:46 +0000 gebliz 2004093@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I haven't.

I'm currently a size 10 womans/11 juniors with somewhat thick thighs, but skinny little knees and calves, and I can't for the life of me find a pair of jeggings that are tight enough. I always have baggy knees, and I'm not talking about stretching after I've worn them. I mean right off the bat, brand new jeans, as if they are too big. But if I go down in size, they won't fit my waist. I just dropped major money on a pair of Dream stretch jeans from American Eagle, which fit great everywhere but the knees. Any advice? Brand suggestions? Should I just wear leggings to get that skin tight look and call it a day?? </p>
