Jeans/pants

[OJazzy1]

OK I am having terrible troubles trying to find jeans or pants that fit because of my calves and thighs from cycling so I am wondering.... what brands or cuts do some of you use?

[Koronin]

Well I've given up on women's pants and jeans due to being short and they are all so long that any pair I buy has to be hemmed. So I've started buying men's jeans and pants.

Target cut #4 (curvy) They have four cuts. Each style, from dressy to cargo to jeans, comes in all 4 cuts.

I'm on the curvy side: small waist, huge rear, thighs and calves. This was before cycling! My favorite jeans are Adriano Goldschmeid. I've had good fits with these brands: MOTHER, Paul & Joe Sister, and Paige jeans. If I try on a gazillion jeans from other designers, I might get lucky and find something that fits.

Thanks for the info ladies. I should have added the I am 5' 7", fairly thin, I have a backside though and thighs and CALVES like I said, I always have trouble finding something that will at all fit my waist and then not just be SO tight on my legs... I have pretty much given up on getting pants at all but I don't want to wear workout pants all the time unless i can find something a little cuter!

Do you have any outlet stores near you? The way you describe yourself sounds exactly like me. Trim, small waist, bigger back end, thighs and calves. My most favorite pair of jeans is finally wearing out (badly!) so I absolutely must go jeans shopping this weekend. Sigh. The best luck I've had has been going to the Levi's and Wrangler's outlet stores where they have 20 styles of jeans. I can typically find at least one cut that fits well. You also might want to try Cruel Girl jeans. (They only look cowgirl-ish if you pair them with cowgirl boots!)

Another vote for Cruel Girl here, especially their relaxed fit. It's not baggy or sloppy, but has a little extra room for cycling butt and thighs.

And no, I don't think they look cowgirl at all.

I've had good luck with some of the Gap cuts (long 'n lean, maybe Real Straight?) - they stretch out a bit and will form to fit me after wearing them a few times.

Also LOOOOOVE Chip & Pepper but I think the company has either gone under or is on it's way (not to mention, they're about $200 new). I've found 'em at Goodwill and Sierra Trading Post.

I have a bubble butt too, though, which is as much as a problem as the chunky thighs.

Let's talk prices.... Target runs $11-$22 depending on style and whether it's on sale or not, including jeans.

Doesn't matter how cheap it is if it doesn't fit I haven't been able to wear any of their pants since I stopped starving myself.

Oh my...I won't say what I immediately thought when I saw the gusset for mens pants!

Try some Diesel jeans. Not cheap ($110-$180 or over, depending on model), but if the jeans fit...

I've also had good luck with Gap -real straight. I am shorter than you but they have 3 lengths. I also like my J.Jill Boyfriend cut, little baggy but comfortable. Both run around $60 per pair.

Hincapie Cycling clothing makes jeans. I haven't tried them yet, but I am very tempted to the next time I need jeans. I found a "curvy" pair at Macy's that fit quite well, Inc. Denim brand. I also am 5'7", with a slim waist and cycling booty, thighs, and calves.
