After years of YLF reading, I just realized in the past couple of months that all of my jeans are too big or bag out. I think they look pretty good freshly washed, but hang around my hips and thighs within a few hours. Not a good look. But I must make the same mistake everytime I purchase them ... am I buying a size too big? But as an apple, how to fit my waistline without having the button and zipper pull?
