Do the Zara jeans hold their shape well throughout the day? My issue with cheaper jeans is how stretched out the knees and butt get.

Not the PP just this is a common problem with most denim that has Lyca, and or poly added. Look for 100% cotton denim and you won’t have this problem. I posted some links up thread (Goldsign, Citizens) and those are all 100% cotton. Levi makes a couple styles too. The rib cage one I believe is cotton

Madewell usually works for me but this style was awful. DH said my 10 butt looked like a 2. Not an objective measure of course, lol, and I don’t think I have a 10, but in any case it looked really bad. It aged my behind by 20 years.

I had to size down and find the right ones. The first two pairs I put in were meh. But when I found some that fit, my butt looked good and my waist looked amazing. Plus the fabric was really soft. So far a win.

I love my mom jeans! So comfy. American Eagle.

Whatever flatters your body the most. I look best in mid rise boyfriend jeans right now because I’ve gotten a bit soft this past year and they’re very forgiving. Normally I like high rise narrow or straight leg with a snug butt.

I ordered a bunch on black friday. I like these: https://www.paige.com/p/high-rise-noella-straight--6555635-5758

And i also got a bunch from abercrombie which are a lot cheaper. Their curve love ultra high rise and also their ultra high rise. The ultra high rise 90s were a little too, well, 1993.

I was trying all these on for DH to get his input, and every time i came out of the closet with a new pair on, he eye rolled and laughed and was like "i know you're telling me that these are trendy right now, but i am just not understanding this at all...." It was pretty funny.

Just bought some Levi’s rib cage straight, and women's 501 straight, plus breaking in some mens 501 raw denim straight to be my future perfect lower waisted boyfriend jeans. This winter also wearing the madewell perfect vintage straight for a slimmer but not skinny profile (they’re stretchy). In the spring I will still wear my madewell California kick flare crops. I’m holding onto my skinnies, but they’re out of rotation for the moment. I’m in my 50s.

I wear these three the most:

Levi's 314 straight leg.

I tried a lot of fancier brands, but these are the ones I keep coming back to.

Madewell perfect vintage jeans. They have a high rise but have a slim straight leg so don't look like mom jeans.

What jeans are you wearing right now? I know that mom jeans and boyfriend jeans are “trending” but they are so unflattering. I’m not trying to look like my teen daughters, but I also don’t want to look really dated.
