I agree. I have boys but all of their clothes are not trying to be trendy. I love that they're all returnable anytime. It's all good quality. Same goes for LLBean.

i do a lot of thrift store shopping and have good luck finding appropriate stuff there. i pay no attention to the brands, but when i was looking for shorts this year i found lots that were a good length...maybe donated when the low rise, short short craze started! lol

i usually grab everything in her size that looks like i would be good and she tried them all on so i can make sure they fit.

my dd has the opposite problem, she used to be long legged and slim, now she is long legged with some curves and a booty. puberty...ugh. but i figure (hope?) that im instilling some modesty in her now so i wont have to fight with her later!

Thanks for the suggestions!

My options are limited where I live to just a hand full of stores, but I plan on shopping at the stores you listed when I make it to the outlets in a few weeks. My DD would like the embellished pants, but I went through my DS's old clothes and found a few pairs of pants that fit her...no frills, but they cover what I think should be covered without constantly having to hike up her pants or pull the back of her shirt down over her bottom.

If the concern is "crack", I have another suggestion. It happens a lot here too, especially since the jeans that fit in legs and hips are too big in waist or if they fit everywhere they're too low once the kids sit or bend or lean...

Trendy Tops. Basically it's a tank top without the straps that you wear over your jeans and under your shirt. You get the layered look without the bulk and a long enough covering to stop the exposure. This is what it looks like http://www.asseenontv.com/trendy-top...v=best-sellers

But you could easily make your own - just get some tank tops from the thrift store or ones that have become too short, cut off about the top 1/3-1/2 and hem where you cut.

For most of the stores though you'll have to try on different styles. Old Navy Skinny jeans are higher waisted than the super skinny jeans, other styles vary on rise. Same with Gap and Childrens Place. Most jeans from P.S. Aero are going to be really low - their teen/adult jeans are ridiculously low in the front and slightly higher in back. Once you've found a brand and style that fit well keep an eye out for sales and buy a few sizes - and look at the second hand stores for those.

The non-existent waists in the jeans is our problem. Adjusty thingies for big kids? Really? Whatever happened to putting a waist in the jeans?

Anyway. Target, Walmart and Old Navy will carry 1 style of regular jeans. I believe it is the bootcut style.

Children's Place used to always carry normal jeans, but it seems they are going more towards sparkly and super skinny jeans. I can't remember the last time I've seen normal jeans at JCP. They are always super skinny and low-rise. We never buy jeans from Justice as they have no waist or adjusties.

Gap regular style jeans fit well, but their jeans shrink. If they style is perfect fit at Gap, it will be too tight after a few washes. Buyer beware.

We are moving back up North this winter. I will give the LandEnd's jeans a try. Thanks for the tip!

FYI if you have a joAnns or a hobby lobby near buy you can buy iron on embellishments.

I know how you feel DD is very curvy and doesn't care about the rise of her jeans but underwear she want way up so they show.
