s/o weight gain: jeans?

[drloretta]

I'm starting to side with the blue haired ladies in my choir: "These low rise jeans just accentuate my muffin top." So I'm looking for jeans with the following characteristics

Mid-rise without being mom jeans

Dark wash available
Little/no stretch
Petite sizes available
Option for slightly or fully curvy fit, as I seem to have grown hips in my old age
I'm willing to spend some $, but I'm not paying more than about $100 for jeans

If you have some you love and would recommend, I would appreciate it!

"Curvy fit" jeans from The Loft are the bomb. I highly recommend.

My favorites are Kut from the Kloth. I know some people really like NYDJ (terrible name), but they don't fit me as well at Kut.

I also have some from White Black and INC at Macy's that are okay.

Target sells Denizen jeans cheaply. Someone else on ML mentioned them as her go to. BTW, I feel your pain. My DD's encouraged me to wear lo-rise so I spent some bucks on a couple of pairs. They accentuated my muffin top so well!

Garnet Hill has some relaxed jeans that say low-rise in the description, but I find them to be more mid-rise. The material is also better quality than most jeans. I've owned a white pair for about 5 years and it still looks fairly new.

Whe I was in the states I liked the GAP classic cut? They are a mid-rise, but they are cut higher in the back than they are in the front. So you get the look and feel of a lower rise in the front, but from the back they sit in the small of my back. they also stay up and cover your bum when you sit.

I wonder if the GAP here sells them?

Ditto the suggestion of Loft jeans. Also NY&Co have a good variety of fits and washes, and they come in petite.

I like JAG jeans; Nordstrom Rack usually has them for a good price and they come in a variety of colors and cuts.

I like lucky jeans and
certain nydj

I'm no help - I live in my AE high rise jeggings. So comfy.

Is their jean sizing similar to their other clothing?  I notice it's vanity sized which I looooove LOL.

Yes!  Another reason why I love their jeans.   lol

I'm wondering how old is old enough to just say "Fuck it!" and make the move to elastic waist jeans. As much as I'd like to do that, I don't think anyone here is quite that old yet.

I just bought elastic waist shorts on vacation because I was desperate, and cringed the entire time

I have 2 pairs of cotton/linen elastic waist pants. They are breezy and tropical ok?

I figure that I am not tucking a shirt into my shorts/pants, so as long as the fit is right, it doesn't matter if the waist is banded, elastic, drawstring or whatever.

That said, I don't have any elastic waist pants other than yoga pant type pants, and I only have one pair of elastic waist shorts.  I bought the shorts because they were a really cute b&w pattern that will go with my extensive wardrobe of black tops, they were a flattering short-ish length and they don't look like anything my 87 yr old mom would have worn in the past 30 yrs....or ever. We have very different styles. ;p

I have a really short waist and no space between my hip bones, waist and lowest rib, so have a hard time finding any shorts or pants that fit right.  Add to that that I have absolutely no behind and really need to have pants that fit above the hip bone to actually stay up, and it makes my choices limited.  I will buy anything that fits my body, fits the look I want and stays up. lol

I have a pair of Kut I like. They were pretty reasonable at Nordstrom Rack.
