Jeans for the Apple Shaped??

[steen995]

I am so fed up!! I just can't find a pair jeans. I am apple shaped with a big tummy but skinny legs. Either the jeans are tight and painful at the tummy or my legs are swimming and both ways look awful (althoug I guess with my shape it might be hard not to ).

So, to my fellow DISers, who out there is big tummied that has found a jean they would recommend?

Sorry, can't help you!! But, if it makes you feel any better I am a pear shape with a small waist and huge hips and rear thing! I also can't find anything to fit right! Stinks doesn't it!!

I am not apple shaped, however I watch "What Not To Wear" pretty much every day. Does that make me an expert, or just a loser?

I would look for a medium rise (sits slightly below the belly button) that is a straight leg or just slightly bootcut to balence. You don't want to look like an apple on toothpicks! You might even look for a slightly wider waistband to control any muffin top issues.

I have heard great things about "Not Your Daughter's Jeans." You can find them at nordstroms

They have a tummy tuck feature that is supposed to work wonders. Good luck!

My friend is apple shaped and she swears by the elasticized waist jeans at Wal-Mart.

I know how you feel. I have been wearing baggy jeans for a long time. If you were Canadian I would tell you to go to a place called Additional. They have a pair of jeans called Bella. They have a little stretch in them and have a straight leg. Hubby says I look a hundred percent better. He hated my wide legged jeans. When I say stretch it isn't elastic waist band.

Do you have a Penningtons there? They my have a diffferent fit jeans for different type bodies too.

Good luck in your search....

I wouldn't suggest those... they are for very curvy hourglass shaped... big "booties" (hence the name apple bottom)

one of my friends who is apple shaped loves jeans by Chicos (if you have them near by). Her and her DD have very skinny legs, a bit of a tummy and they fit well in those.

I knew that one day I would be glad I had a big belly and a big, fat butt with tree trunks for legs.

"No Boundaries" at WalMart fit me really well! They have sizes up to junior plus 21, I think.

It sounds like with the tummy you might be more pear shaped? If that is so I have found Daisy Fuentes jeans, from Kohls fit me the best. They have regular and woman sizes. Good luck

Pear shaped means you have a bigger tush and thighs, just like a pear is smaller on top and more rounded on the bottom. Apple shaped is bigger around the middle, just like an apple is.

Star fit jeans by Esprit. I own 5 pairs.

I've had good luck with Gloria Vanderbilt jeans http://www.kohls.com/products/produ...OLDER<>folder_id=70158791&bmUID=1171069862379

I just noticed you are in WA- I get mine at Fred Meyer.

The ad above the thread says "find your perfect jeans www.zafu.com I think I'll take a peek.

 

[lindalinda]

Oh, seriously, check out the zafu site. It asks you a bunch of questions and then gives you a list of jeans that should fit. The number one answer was the ones that always fit me, levi's low rise boot cut!

Zafu is great--at least I found jeans that fit me well after searching on my own forever!
good luck--there is nothing quite like finding the right pair of jeans.

I'm sort of apple-ish (not really a big tummy but not a real defined waist either - I don't have the problem where my jeans gap at the waist like most pear shaped girls). I wear The Gap Long and Lean jeans - love them! I also have a pair of Lee One True Fit that I like as well, but not as much as my Long and Lean.

I'm actually long and lean (sort of lanky rather than curvy), maybe that is why these jeans fit me so well.
