have to have a fly front? It serves no purpose. It adds bulk to the stomach. It shows thru the tops we wear if they aren't tucked in. I don't want to imitate the jeans guys wear? I just want a pair of jeans. Whatever happened to side zippers on pants? I don't want a pull on jean, just a pair of jeans without a fly front. I've had my say and I'd like to know if anyone else ever thought about this.

I don’t want a side zipper unless the pants are stretchy.

I never liked the zip on the side, so I'm happy with the front zip or a pull-on style.

I honestly have never thought any of my front zip jeans add bulk to the stomach area, but I suppose it depends on the material and style.  I wouldn't buy jeans with a side zip.  To me, those wouldn't be jeans - just "pants".

I like the fly front and, when I was much smaller, used to only wear the button front fly. I didn't have my old age tummy back then so it didn't make a difference. I prefer the fly front and wouldn't purchase any jeans with side zippers. Guess it's just a preference.

Yes, I wouldn't buy pants without a front zip-they never fit as well.

@JudalineTalbots has side zip pants, not sure if any are jeans however.

While I prefer pull-on jeans, I do have a couple pair of NYDJ with the front zipper. I try to wear tops that don't show that little bulge when I wear them--and actually, they are some of the least "showy" zippered jeans I've ever had!

My short arms are not good for side zippers, though that is a nice clean look!

@Judaline   I never knew jeans had a side zipper, I don't think I would like that.  

I don't like pull on jeans so I am not sure how I would get jeans on (that were not pull ons)  with out a fly front.

I still tuck in tops on occasion and don't like that elastic waist look.

Original blue jeans were made for mine workers who were all men. Button-fly was replaced with zipper-fly.

I have a few pairs of Talbots jeans that have a side zip, I like them if I need a tuck in, dressier look. But they have no belt loops.
