Pants that fit...until you sit down

does anyone else(ladies) have a hard time buying jeans? I'm so upset because my one pair of jeans that fit right finally wore out to the point of no return. It is such a fight to buy any jeans because I'm an apple shape so my weight is on my hips and tummy so I stand up and they fit weird on my hips, but sit down and it's over. So I get a bigger size and they're falling off when I walk, but fit when I sit. So annoying.

    Sounds like you need a different cut/rise.

    I have the same problem. I was just thinking about it. My problem is though I carry all my weight around my mid section and I have small lets so I have to make sure that I buy skinny ankle/skinny leg jeans otherwise I look like i'm wearing a sack. Anyway, my pants always fit until I sit down. I mean the still fit, but it leaves marks on me and it's not exactly comfortable.

    What I've noticed with girls is that they wear these big non-functional belts over their shirts (like, right under their boobs) rather than through belt loops, as intended. Buy yourself a good quality belt - you'll thank me later.

    I used to wear Christopher Blue sisters boyfriend, but they don't make them anymore.

    Yeah, I wear my big belts at the natural waist. Those belts aren't meant to hold my pants up, they are meant to draw attention to the smallest part of me instead of my hips. They're an accessory, not a functional piece of clothing.

    I have wide hips and a small waist. I have pants I can barely get over my hips, but once I do they have a huge gap at the waist. And wearing low rise pants just doesn't happen...I'd have to go up 3 sizes just to get them to button.
