Where do you gals find jeans?!

This is a bit of an odd circumstance, really, but I'm not complaining! I've been focusing more heavily on walking/running/legs to prepare for a 10k and half marathon later in the year, and while I've lost waist, I've actually gained weight! >.< Not the best to see on the scale, but when I was trying to find a new pair of jeans, it seemed impossible! They are incredibly tight in the leg/thigh area, but the waist is so loose that I have to wear a belt, which is fine, but I have to tighten it to the point of the dreaded "camel toe." Ick. Do any of you lovely FitBitters have any jeans preferences?

@MRose My favorite store is Lane Bryant, they have a great brand for sports clothing, with comfortable and forgiving fabrics. I bought a bunch of yoga pants and running pants and they are super comfy.

Buying jeans has always been a problem for me, but for the opposite reason. I have a thick waist, and narrow thighs. I was quite happy when the skinny jeans trend arrived, I no longer had the thighs of my jeans flapping in the wind.

Although I am way past the "teen" years, I have found that Rue21 has great jeans.  They are sometimes a bit trendy for me but I can pick through them and find some.  They have some in the "stretch" material, NOT the "jegging" style.  They are not super tight and not constricting feeling.

Seconding the recommendation for Lane Bryant! Their jeans with "tighter tummy technology" help eliminate the waistline gap.

I found a pair that had some kind of barrier that prevented chaffing, lovely. Do you know if they are still in stock?

I get my jeans from Old Navy most of the time. They have a few styles on jeans and I find that the style for "the most curvy" women works well for me. They have more room in the the thighs and smaller in the waist.

I hate jeans but Kohl's had jeggings that were actually really nice. They looked like jeans and felt similar to jeans, even had pockets like jeans but the fabric was more forgiving and wayyy more comfortable. 

Not sure if they still have them though, they were in the teen department and I haven't shopped for pants in a long time as I wear a uniform to work.

I buy mine at Target (when they pop up in cartwheel). Hate to spend too much when I hope to keep dropping sizes!

I prefer good ol' Levi's 505 or 512. I get them at Kohl's - the Chaps jeans there are pretty good too.

My favorite brand is NYDJ - Not Your Daughter's Jeans. They are pricey but, as they claim, they do make you look a size smaller. The fit is comfortable and as I've lost weight, I've found that a good tailor can take them in at a cost much, much less than buying a new pair.

Congrats on your progress! 💪🏽 It's totally normal to see some weight gain when building muscle, especially in the legs with all that running! Finding the right jeans for an athletic build can definitely be tricky. You might want to check out brands that cater to athletic or curvy fits—they offer more room in the thighs while keeping the waist snug.

Speaking of jeans, I recently wrote an article that might help: Western Blue Jeans: The Ultimate Guide to Styling This Classic Wardrobe Essential. It covers different fits and styling tips to find the perfect pair! Would love for you to check it out. 😊
