Veronica beard jeans and dl1961 jeans hold shape well for me.

OP here. Was an apple due to being overweight, am now an hourglass at a regular weight, but I have bought jeans post-weight loss and the same thing happens as when I was heavier--the thighs down to the knees bag out. I would like to wear nice, crisp jeans for an evening out that don't look baggy by the time I get up from the table. My thighs are proportionate to the rest of my body and were even when I was overweight. I appreciate everyone's help BTW!

This is PP - the ON jeans are noticeably thinner than the Gap jeans (they're more like Levi's), but there are times when I don't want heavy denim and they work well.

My Gap 90s highrise don't get baggy, but I also have ON straight leg jeans that hold their shape.

If you’ve lost weight, you may need to change which brands fit you best and what size you wear.

I've had a pair of 7 jeans for 5 years that have maintained their shape. I purchased them from Nordstrom but haven't seen the particular style sold anywhere else since.

No, hadn't thought about it but the real problem is that the thighs get baggy.

My vintage Lee jeans keep their shape. They have no stretch though.

Actually, these are the ones I have and this is the wash:

I've spent $200 on jeans and I've spent $20 and I really like these. I recently went overseas for a week with only a carry-on and I brought 2 pairs and wore each for 2-3 days.
No sagging. Looked the same on day 3 of wear as they did on day 1.

Anyway, I'm a 49 year old mom and clearly not a jean snob but I can reliably put these on and they fit regardless if they're right out of the dryer or the second day of wearing them.
Then I spend my clothing money on sweaters and dresses that cost way too much.

I like Democracy jeans. They have an elastic waistband.

I mean, maybe the slightest bit of give if I take them from the dryer, put them on and then squat but zero sagging or falling down (which I know some brands do). They have different washes an I'm not sure its the case with all of them but I generally get a medium blue wash and the material does not stretch.

I've definitely had other brands that stretch out a full size or more.

Surprising, i know.

OP here. I used to buy most of my jeans at ON and they all stretched out on me. I've recently lost some weight and want to try out some other brands but I can't figure out what the secret to a non-baggy pair is. Is it the type and percentage of stretchy fiber like Lycra? Or the type of wash? I can't seem to crack the code.

I am desperate to find a pair of bootcut/straight jeans that does not get baggy in the thighs/butt and that I don't have to keep pulling up after just a few hours of wear. Every jean I have tried on does that. Does anyone have a magic pair to recommend that retains its shape?
