I always assumed it was due to my not having a more defined waist. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/when-skinnies-fall-down-are-they-too-tight-or-too-big#post-1733406 Wed, 28 Sep 2016 21:17:49 +0000 always trying 1733406@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Mine slide too.

Thank goodness for longish tops. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/when-skinnies-fall-down-are-they-too-tight-or-too-big#post-682896 Wed, 01 Aug 2012 17:24:36 +0000 Anonymous 682896@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Yep, we have been on this topic many times.<br /> It's a combination of many things, as per Angie's summary above. I still suffer from this affliction since I can get my mind past the concept of a roomy skinny jean. I like my jeans snug. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/when-skinnies-fall-down-are-they-too-tight-or-too-big#post-682892 Wed, 01 Aug 2012 17:20:01 +0000 sarah 682892@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Mine slide down all the time. It's inevitable. Try a belt! I just slide the buckle around to the side so it doesn't stick out under my tops when I'm going untucked. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/when-skinnies-fall-down-are-they-too-tight-or-too-big#post-682806 Wed, 01 Aug 2012 15:19:45 +0000 ironkurtin 682806@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>The bummer is, I love the way this looks. But why on earth don't they make them with a higher rise?! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/when-skinnies-fall-down-are-they-too-tight-or-too-big#post-682794 Wed, 01 Aug 2012 15:07:53 +0000 Aziraphale 682794@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I've brought up this topic several times before, because I am a constant victim of pants slippage. I've been experimenting for several years, and this is what I've found:</p> <p>1. Very clingy legs cause jeans to slide down, especially if the waist is loose<br /> 2. stretchy fabric slides more than non-stretchy<br /> 3. lower rise slides down, whether they're skinny jeans or not</p> <p>My two best pairs of skinnies in terms of not sliding, are ones that are constructed of rigid denim, and while they are slim, they don't cling to my thighs. I can get away with no belt with these two. I have to wear a belt with all the other ones. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/when-skinnies-fall-down-are-they-too-tight-or-too-big#post-682786 Wed, 01 Aug 2012 15:04:08 +0000 Janet 682786@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Well, I *do* have abnormally large thighs and I get this too! I feel like the fabric hugs my thighs, which means as I stand and sit, the jeans pull down slightly. Getting the waist taken in helps quite a bit. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/when-skinnies-fall-down-are-they-too-tight-or-too-big#post-682778 Wed, 01 Aug 2012 15:01:14 +0000 ironkurtin 682778@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Well, I guess I'm glad it's the pants and not that I have abnormally huge thighs. Belts ho! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/when-skinnies-fall-down-are-they-too-tight-or-too-big#post-682750 Wed, 01 Aug 2012 14:46:12 +0000 shiny 682750@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>This happens with my skinnies too. A belt anchors them into place so they don't slide down. </p> <p>I never wear belts and this is exactly what got me into wearing them. The skinnies simply look a lot better with a belt, even if you can't see the belt. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/when-skinnies-fall-down-are-they-too-tight-or-too-big#post-682749 Wed, 01 Aug 2012 14:45:16 +0000 Angie 682749@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Too much stretch in the fabric, a lowish rise, tight fit on the legs and a slightly too roomy fit on the waist = skinnies falling down. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/when-skinnies-fall-down-are-they-too-tight-or-too-big#post-682744 Wed, 01 Aug 2012 14:35:25 +0000 Anonymous 682744@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I agree that it's the tight legs that pull them down. After hashing this out over the winter (Suz had this problem with the fit a lot) it seemed to me that just a bit of play in the legs that allows the jeans to actually slide up and down the leg (as opposed to being pulled on like support hose) keeps this from happening. Just MHO of course. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/when-skinnies-fall-down-are-they-too-tight-or-too-big#post-682725 Wed, 01 Aug 2012 14:04:35 +0000 bookwormmoran 682725@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I have this problem all the time. Looking forward to an answer. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/when-skinnies-fall-down-are-they-too-tight-or-too-big#post-682722 Wed, 01 Aug 2012 14:03:58 +0000 DeclawedJaguar 682722@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I have ample hips and my skinnies still slide down. I think it's a function of the tight fit through the leg -- the more the legs move, the more the skinnies gravitate south. Do you think belting might help some? </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/when-skinnies-fall-down-are-they-too-tight-or-too-big#post-682717 Wed, 01 Aug 2012 13:56:06 +0000 ironkurtin 682717@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>These rag and bones are managing to fit my thighs and slide utterly off my butt (see pics 2 and 3). Sorry for the torso show for anyone who finds that offensive. I was trying to show how far the skinnies had dropped; they're supposed to be at least an inch closer to my navel! Would having hips prevent this issue, or is it simply the Skinny Jeans Curse?</p> <p>- rag and bone lightweight skinny jeans<br /> - apc tunic<br /> - tremp sandals from yoox </p>
