This! I don't understand, mine have never been THAT tight. I can bend and squat down and all that in them no problem. Where are these painted on jeans? Are they the wrong size?


Yours have spandex in them. Some people wear jeans that are only denim and it’s much stiffer.

Nope. Most all my jeans are raw, or 98/99 cotton. I do have one skinny pair that is stretchier but they still are pretty high cotton count. I just disagree that most women are walking around in jeans they had to squeeze their legs into, that seemed to be only an issue in say 2007 when skinnies were "newer" and cut only one way


Same here. I'm 5'2", with a small waist and thin legs, but larger hips/butt/breasts. I can only imagine how awful I would look in wide leg jeans.

I would like jeans to go back to having less spandex.

I am currently seeking a pair of straight leg jeans that are still slim through the hip and thigh, just wide enough at the hem to slip over my boots, yet can still be worn with flats, Birks, Chucks, heels.... And don't come all the way to my ribcage (I'm short in the rise and 9-10" rise is as high as I can go). AND aren't cropped. AND don't have rips in them.


Madewell should have what you're looking for.


I just tried on a bunch of jeans from Madewell, Old Navy, and Levi's. Most of them came over my belly button.

Madewell (a few different pairs): too high in the rise, too loose in the hip and thigh, terrible rear view (huge pockets), flattened my butt
Old Navy: too high in the rise
Levi's 724: too high in the rise, fabric was thin
Levi's classic straight: best of the bunch, stretchier than I wanted, but a decent fit (and fit over my cowboy boots). 30" inseam worked well for me, but they come in 28" and 32", too.

Pretty soon it will be too hot for jeans in DC anyhow. Who knows what we will want to wear come fall and (I am hoping!) the return to socializing.

who wants to look like a stupid gen z or younger millenial? i recoil in disgust as i see them prancing all over town in their high waist big mom jeans and their stupid sneakers out of the 80s.
no thanks, been there done that back when i was a little kid in the 80s and there were no good choices in fashion.


You recoil in disgust at young women’s jeans? Get help.

I have new bootcuts and 1 new flare pair but they just look very different IMO than the bootcuts of the early 00s and late 90s. The waist is higher, the boot is less bell the flares look very 70s not very 90s.

Which is to say I am glad stuff is back and more things are coming around again but I don't necessarily think most of the bootcuts from 15 years ago look as fresh as the newer versions.

+1. They’ll look back in disgust at their dumb fashions when they’re older.

While I agree they will because there is a LOT of unflattering/pounds adding fashion out right now for the youngs...I also think that they should wear it all and look back and cringe because its such a rite of passage and you have your whole life to wear nicely tailored, boring, unfun "classic" pieces

They are still in stores and fashion magazines.

That big baggy, high waisted sh*t doesn't look good on most people. I work out hard to stay fit and shape. I'm keeping my skinnies.


Me too
