Jeans for fit people

I lift. I lift a lot and I lift heavy things. I can squat more than I weigh and press 450 pounds. I have glutes and I have thighs. I also have a sense of fashion. But I've concluded that there are not jeans that fit my body.

Anyone have any brands or tips to find pants that might fit?

    A long time ago I heard of a company called Barbell Apparel, but the chatter surrounding them died out. Not sure if it was due to the jeans being expensive or basically being a cross between jeans and jeggings.

    The sweetheart style of jeans at Old Navy are the only ones that fit my quads and butt. I'm a competitive bodybuilder, so I have very thick legs with a normal waist.

    Hahahahah. Look for jeans with some stretch. If what you're getting at, because you don't really say, is that your thighs are bigger and don't fit in jeans that fit your waist... go to Nordstrom or Sak's and ask for a stylist. They know what they're doing and they will find you something. I never have time to shop, I usually call ahead tell my girl what I'm needing and by the time I arrive she's got stuff pulled in my size and I always love it. Forget Target and the Gap, if you're really struggling to feed your 'sense of style' get a pro's help.....

    Sorry, I should have clarified. I have a small waist and normal hips but larger thighs and a butt. Right now, the only jeans I can find are from PacSun and stretchy ones from Old Navy.

    My husband ordered me a pair. I do not love them. They are definitely not worth the cost to me.
    He ordered me the straight leg ones. They were too small. I ordered one size down in the skinny style and they were almost too big. The waist was very low and still had the same problem of a too big waist. I still have to worry about my butt crack hanging out I hate that feeling.

    That's what these jeans are supposed to be designed for. Smaller waist, bigger legs.

    I sometimes buy jeans a size bigger than my waist/hips (or even two sizes: whatever fits over my giant runner/cyclist quads) and then get a dressmaker to take them in up the back seam to fit my waist. It costs a little extra for the alteration, but you don't have to buy expensive jeans if you are getting them tailored to fit perfectly.

    I recommend LL Bean's performance stretch jeans.

    I'm not super buff just very pear shaped, small waist and store all my fat in butt/hips/legs. These actually fit me in the waist and legs. Just don't put them in the dryer.
