New Butt, new wardrobe??

in Goal: Gaining Weight and Body Building
I was always blessed, or cursed, with a large (in proportion to my waist) butt. Since I started lifting again, my butt has also started lifting (A La Kim Kardashian champagne glass kinda look). Now, most of my pants no longer fit, they are way too tight where they sit!
Any suggestions on jean brands that would flatter rather than make me feel fatter?? I don't quite think I am ready for the super high waisted jeans either :neutral:

    Male perspective: the world was never ready for high waisted jeans or shorts, so steer clear! :)

    I like Paige jeans in the softer denim. They give a little stretch but are high quality so don't look like pajama jeans. I always felt the same about AG as well.

    Stretch is your best friend. I'm not blessed w that problem but I just bought a pair of jeans today & the sales person directed me to the juniors section. They have a variety of styles & sizes. They fit nice if you have a smaller waist w curves/round thighs like me.
    @calmelewis52 lol! Well my friend has a bum like op describes & high waisted jeans don't look high waisted on her bc her booty takes up all the space.

    Thanks all!
    I like the opinions of the high waisted jeans too, helps me think I'm not crazy in thinking they look bad, or would on me at least.

    Hudson has some really flattering jeans. I really don't like the pockets but I see they are making some without the button/flap now.

    That's just rude. I wear high waisted all the time and look fabulous. Also, there was high waisted before there was low on the hip style waistbands on jeans. Before the 90's there was no such thing as low waistbands on pants.

    Personally I'd much rather see a good fitting jean regardless of the waist length than people's butcracks in bad fitting jeans.
    OP, why not just go out and try a variety of different jean styles and see which works best for your body. Or you could also go for skirts ;)

    I've been doing the skirts and dress thing in summer, our winters are almost a little too harsh at times.
    I like getting the different brand ideas because some brands I would never think of trying or going into the store (liie American Eagle, thanks @Inrussell195), but if they fit, that is all I'm looking for.

    I have a big booty and small waist as well and have a really hard time finding jeans that fit my butt and don't leave a huge gap at the back of the waist. I've had the most success with Old Navy RockStar style jeans. They stretch, they're reasonably priced, and they have lots of washes and patterns. I haven't had much luck with any of the other jean styles from there, but live in RockStar denim.

    Couldn't agree more. Stretch denim is the only thing I've found that doesn't leave that ridiculous gap in the back. However I couldn't tell you a brand I consistently buy.

    I love high-waisted, but I have very long legs and waist. So on me they probably look like regular rise. Anything else leaves a huge gap in the back. If I bend over-it's obscene.

    I like high waisted jeans. I look alright in them from the front and sometimes the side, but that back is terrifying.

    My Guess brand, high-waisted skinny jeans. No back gap, comfy fit, and you can tuck in a top and look dressy.

    Those are TOO too high. Like the American Apparel ones lol.

    I did buy some high waisted jean shorts from Guess this summer and oh MY. Cannot leave the house in them. They cover more of my stomach than my *kitten*

    I believe the real question is, if you can fit on most amusement park rides xD

    Try the Levis "Perfect Waist." I have the same problem. I have a 31 inch waist with 42 inch hips, and most pants that fit on my thighs are too baggy on my hips. These ones have a small elastic band on the inside so they have a little stretch. Theyre AMAZING and I really wish they came in more than 2-3 colors. I'll always wear these. Also, they come up just a tad bit higher than normal "low rise jeans" (about an inch or two below the belly button) so they're flattering.

    See, the Levi's still give me back gap!

    You can check into Relentless and Barbell jeans. Both are stretch-denim and made for curvy, female and male athletes. The Barbell site has lots of customer feedback with photos and testimonies including this one.

    Barbell jeans is a pretty neat concept, Im checking them out now.
    And love the the relentless look to be on an average person and not model. Thanks for those suggestions.

    Only jeans I've ever been able to wear without a belt. I bought my first pair online, so without trying at all. I am eagerly reading all the recommendations to see what to try next time I shop for jeans

    Express jeans have a variety that is very stretchy yet keeps their form. My favorite are the midrise jegging. Ive gained 4lbs in 5 weeks with my reverse dieting into a bulk, mind you mostly in my lower region and these jeans still fit fairly well.
