I Decided I Hate Pull Up Stretchy Jeans!

I decided last year that I would wear jeans again. I probably ordered 4-5 different brands and I don't want to wear any of them.

I hate all the stretch, no working pockets & the fake fly.

They won't stay up and I'm always pulling them up.

I don't need all that stretch anyway.

I will go back to my regular jeans with very little or no stretch. I want a jean to looks like a jean.

I do love joggers and leggings if they would make them long enough which most don't. There is nothing worse than constantly pulling the legs down everytime I stand up.

I have problems with jeans sliding down too.  I won't buy high percentage spandex. No more than 2 or 3%.  I have had decent luck with zipper styles offered by Women With Control and Laurie Felt.

I don't wear pull up jeans at all.  Many ladies with arthritis do find them wonderful. 

 

I hold my jeans up with an invisible belt from amazon.  No bulk what so ever.

I only wear high waisted jeans.  No worries about falling/slipping down.

I need a belt period.  I need full-length pants.

@NYCLatinaMe All of my jeans have only 1 to 2% spandex in them, but still some are stretchier than others.  I do have a couple of pair that I must wear a belt with or I'll be continually pulling them up.  I think it's because they hug the thighs.  I hate that you can't even look at the % of spandex and be able to tell how stretchy they'll be.

If you have trouble with your jeans slipping down and they have belt loops, acquaint yourselves with invisible belts on Amazon.  They're a piece of adjustable elastic that attaches to belt loops, keeps pants up but doesn't have to be unhooked.

I solved the problem by not wearing jeans.  I haven't worn them in many years.

If you wear those types of jeans a size too big they will slide down.  I never have issues with that!  They are meant to be really snug!

If you are having problems with your stretchy jeans staying up then you are wearing the wrong size!!!! I only wear stretchy jeans and I NEVER have to hike them up...never. Try getting some that actually fit you then you'll love them.
