Wrinkled skinny jeans

Laurel Leaf

Does anyone know why skinny jeans wrinkle under the seat and back of thighs? I love all my skinny jeans but they all do this and I don’t think it looks very nice

Have you tried sizing down?

Do the wrinkles go away when you sit down? I get this, too, but only when standing. I think it's how they are cut so that when you sit down, the back of the waist doesn't pull down as well.

Yes the wrinkles are only there when I stand! I thought about sizing down but I don’t think they would fit around the hips if I did. Thank you, I guess I’ll just have to deal with the wrinkles

I actually need more, not less, room in the thighs, but the wrinkling bugs me too. I have decided to live with it unless the wrinkles (or on my case, creases) actually grab at the flesh on my thighs. The only skinnies I currently own are Madewell high waist curvy fit which fit me really well in the legs and don’t do this.

Mine do that too. I'm not sure why.

Mine always do that — I chalked it up to having large thighs and hips but not much booty.

You should try sizing down too. I had a client who this happened to, and wrinkles were greatly reduced in the smaller size.

Speaking for myself, if I size down, I won't be able to fasten the jeans. The wrinkles are from excess length, and occur even when the jeans are already stretching a lot in width. But I guess it's worth a shot for others.

Sometimes this happens with mine too, I always thought it was that they are a size too big but if I try to size down I can’t get them on! It must be the jeans with extra stretch and this happens or we don’t fit the exact body shape meant for the jeans; which isn’t a reason to not wear them they still look fab anyway.
