While nothing has changed my shape (due in large part to my cheese hankerings), the Gloria Vanderbilt jeans seem to be about out as flattering as I can expect. Some have spandex woven into the denim which provides a little bit of stretch to help with the fit, although they don’t breathe as well as 100% cotton and can be a little hot to wear.

Long tops that can add shape to you. Like round necklines, bell sleeves, puff sleeves, etc

Wear fitted jeans with a long tops

Start going to the gym girlie.

That’s like Meghan Markle, who is fridge-shaped on toothpicks. OP, midrise full-length flares and non-cropped sweater and jacket combos will work.

Don't wear wide leg jeans, OP. Just get a flare. Wide legs jeans will make a fat woman look fatter.

I can say this, as a fellow fat woman.

Shopping online for jeans isn’t easy. Take a friend and head to the mall to try on various shapes and sizes. Anticipate that you will try on 25-30 pairs before you find the perfect pair.

This is something I can't help. My mother is shaped like this, my grandmother and all my aunts and cousins. I'm not overweight in the least. I'm 5"6 and slender everywhere but my middle section. I was just thinking about this and I'm pretty much built like Sutton Stracke.

The answer is no jeans are going to make you look significantly less fat. I was shaped like that. Went on GLP and am now average weight (still very short). All of a sudden even less expensive jeans look pretty good on me, in a modern wide leg style. It’s not the jeans, it’s you. There fashion industry doesn’t make jeans for overweight women. Buy inexpensive jeans and save up for diet drugs.

I have no jeans recommendations for you, but that video made me laugh. Thanks!

I ordered the Kut from the Kloth Meg wide leg but the pockets and rise were terribly unflattering for my thick, short-waisted, flat butted self.
Any suggestions for a wider leg style in a medium wash? Surely someone else out there has my body type.
