It seems that all the jeans at the mall are trendy skinny leg low rise and the fabrics are so thin. What is a curvy girl to do?
I am having trouble finding jeans that fit my shape. I have an average upper body and great legs, but its hard to find jeans that fit my hips, thighs, and backside. All the pairs I currently have are too low in the back and I'm constantly pulling them up. It seems that all the jeans at the mall are trendy skinny leg low rise and the fabrics are so thin.

If you have Curves
The fit around your waist and backside is key. Look for a pair of jeans that are cut higher in the back, with a curved waistband, so they fit nicely over your hips and butt and reduce gaping. Medium to heavy weighted denim helps hide small bulges. A bootcut or wide leg can also, help balance out your hourglass shape. Outfit your jeans with a button up woven and blazer that hits the point where your hip starts to curve, and you just created the professional “jean” look for casual Friday's.
