I hate jeans!

I can't say I've ever heard of anyone who hates jeans so much. I think they're awesome. Why do you hate them so much? They're just pants!

Paige brand jeans are my favorite. They make your *kitten* look amazing.

2nd the Paige jeans! What's important is to get a jean that has some stretch to it. I was about your size (height/weight) when I started MFP in mid July and have a pair of Paige bootcut dark wash jeans (size 31) that fit like a dream, are very slimming, and are super comfy. Even though they have some stretch, they still hold you in. I think Paige are a little more generous in the thighs because I can wear even their skinny jeans and not feel like they're cutting off the circulation to my lower extremities!

Hudsons also fit well and have some stretch.

I recently bought a pair of jeans after not wearing them for 5 years and feel the same way about them lol...I felt pretty good about myself and felt I came a long way before I tried the dreaded pair of jeans on....Now I feel I need to do so much more work just to feel comfortable wearing them..MEH

You sound like you detest jeans as much as I detest scrubs! LOL

I also think ordinary flip flops are one of the ugliest types of footwear and don't get why people wear them when there are a zillion adorable inexpensive non-flip flop sandals around.

But anyway - regarding jeans. I wear them, but not as often as many people I know. I'm allowed to wear jeans to work every day in my job in the office of a manufacturing plant, but I only end up wearing jeans a couple of times per week and other days I wear nicer pants or skirts/dresses.

I think trying on as many different styles and brands as possible is the key to finding the right jean. I currently own three pairs of Gloria Vanderbilt "Amanda" in size 18 and they're starting to get baggy but the same brand "Giselle" style is still practically skintight in an 18. Lane Bryant, Old Navy, Levi's and Target jeans are horrible on me. They were at size 22 and they are even worse now at size 18. When I was bigger, I liked CJ Banks and Lee even though I consider myself FAR more trendy/youthful than those brands...when jeans come into play, I'll wear whatever fits well and flatters my body!!!! More recently I've had good luck at Macy's (their store lines) and Coldwater Creek. You just never know.

I'm very picky about jeans. Once you find the perfect pair, you will love them. You will wear them into the ground. Most jeans are made to fit people with no *kitten* or pole legs (at least that's my experience). Never buy them without trying them on and try on all kinds of sizes. In other words, don't get mad if you have to buy a 6 instead of a 2. It's all good as long as it looks good.

I have a deep resentment towards jeans. I should love them but I don't. My quads and glutes are rather large and my waist is smaller and I have not found a brand that has fit me correctly yet. This really saddens me as I LOVE how jeans look on just about everyone else.

BUT there is a brand that is in development now that is supposed to be for more muscular women and I am thrilled. I really hope they make it to full blown production because they look phenomenal and I want to get my hands on a pair.

I am a history teacher so I know for a fact jeans were invented as tough durable pants for workers/farmers. But somehow over the last 100+ years, they have become an American clothing staple.

TBH, I'm a little unsure how this is relevant?

They were CREATED to be working pants for laborers, farmers, and miners! They were made of durable material and held together with metal rivets to be stronger than other pants sewn together. My historical point is that jeans were never created to be worn as fashion as we do now.

And? Jeans have evolved with the times and are considered fashion apparel now. A century ago, most women in the U.S. didn't wear pants of any sort (historically speaking) but many were wearing corsets that caused major health issues (historically speaking). I will ALWAYS love jeans. You wanna' give back the vote, too?:noway:

A MUST READ TO AVOID "LONG BUTT" MOM JEANS:

When I was a size 12, I hated jeans too. The only pairs that I could find to fit gave me the dreaded "Long Butt Syndrome" that many mom's have. Then one day I was searching the internet and stumbled across this blog "Mom Jeans and the Dreaded Long Butt". Someone actually took the time to explain how to shop for and find jeans that were flattering to your butt and figure. The blog was sooooo funny and well written, I feel the need to share and educate anyone here who was in the same boat as me unaware that it was my jean choices that made my butt look awful, not necessarily my butt itself!

Below is the link to the original post, and she also has a plus-size sequel to this blog. Well worth your 5 minutes to read this, it will change the way you shop for jeans forever! Even now that I'm a size 6, I'm still using her tips to shop for jeans, and yes, I found an amazing pair that I totally love. Hope this helps all you jean haters of the world ;o)

Oh goodness according to this lady I have been wearing "gateway mom jeans"!!!!! I came home and had my daughter take some booty shots and I am so disappointed now!! Granted my jeans are a little big since I'm losing weight but I thought they looked good. Id post a pic but I don't know how

I love jeans and I think all my pants save for 3 pairs of dress pants (2 of which are still too small to fit back into) are jeans. That being said, I HATE jean shopping. I have fuller thighs and a fuller butt, and a smaller waist (smaller in proportion to my thighs at least. Anyway, every pair of jeans I own has a huge gap in the back which annoys me. My dress pants fit me rather nicely, as I can get them with wider straight legs. I can never find an affordable pair of jeans that fits.

Other than that I love my jeans! They go with EVERYTHING!
