Stretch jeans also tend to bag out more easily. </p> <p>The NYDJ I've tried on have been very stretchy and felt almost like a knit, which I don't like personally. Super-stretchy jeans don't work for me except as jeggings worn with a tunic, where the waist is not visible. </p> <p>That said, what works for me may not work for you and I may be nuts. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/please-help-me-find-some-jeans#post-472859 Wed, 23 Nov 2011 00:04:35 +0000 lynne 472859@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>James Jeans Hunter style have been my go-to jeans. The higher rise eliminates muffin top, and they don't bag after a few hours. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/please-help-me-find-some-jeans#post-472355 Tue, 22 Nov 2011 02:18:01 +0000 Angie 472355@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I'd head to the Gap. Try on their Perfect Bootcut, Always Skinny and Real Straight jeans styles. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/please-help-me-find-some-jeans#post-472258 Mon, 21 Nov 2011 23:03:50 +0000 cheryle (Dianthus) 472258@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I would think a mid-rise jean would work for you. High enough to contain the muffin but not so high that it would constrict. I like Old Navy sweatheart skinnies better than most other skinnies but I have thicker thighs with my flat butt. </p> <p>Good luck. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/please-help-me-find-some-jeans#post-472238 Mon, 21 Nov 2011 22:27:45 +0000 Inge 472238@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I'm not really an expert on jeans styles, so I'm bumping this for you, BM.<br /> I do seem to remember that it's important that your jeans do not have more than 2% spandex, otherwise they'll stretch out very quickly.</p> <p>I hope you'll find a fab pair soon! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/please-help-me-find-some-jeans#post-472185 Mon, 21 Nov 2011 20:36:01 +0000 banananutmuffin 472185@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I have never ever had a pair that fits right!</p> <p>I am 5'0", 115 lbs, short legs and short torso because... well... I'm short. lol </p> <p>I'm definitely an apple shape. After 2 kids (1 c-section) I am sporting a big ol' belly pouch. As a result, low-rise jeans give me a muffin top. I have slim legs, slim hips and a flat butt.</p> <p>Typically, if I buy jeans that fit my waist, the butt sags and they are too big through my hips and thighs. If I buy jeans that hug my butt and hips nicely, they are so constricting at my tummy that I can't get them buckled.</p> <p>Also, it seems that any jean with stretch ends up stretching out on me by the end of the day, so that I'm hitching up my pants to keep them from falling down. I've actually had my jeans fall to my knees while walking up the stairs!!</p> <p>I just purchased 2 pairs of NYDJ on Amazon, but after reading reviews I am worried that they will look too matronly or have too high of a rise for me (I did buy the petites though).</p> <p>Does anyone know where, oh where, I can find a pair of jeans that will hug my flat butt and small hips, not give my apple tummy a muffin top, and won't stretch out after 3 hours of wear?</p> <p>Thanks so much! </p>
