As a pear shaped person I find it very difficult to get jeans that fit properly - especially one's that sit on the waist(I can't bear those low rise jobs)they always end up having a big gap at the back of the waist. So I decided that I was going to spend a bit of money and get a pair that fitted properly and were comfortable. After much huffing, puffing and trying on in several well know stores and after much depression at the fact I seemed to be a size bigger when I tried them on than I had been when I came in the shop - I finally found the most comfy and fashionable jeans I have had in a long time. Actually I've got 2 pairs - one pair in deep dyed denim £10 from Tesco and one pair in chocolate brown denim £10 from a Cotton Traders outlet store. I cannot beleive my luck!! I didn't even try the Tesco pair on as I thought I would do it at home and return them when I did my next shop - and I was sure I would be returning them.
But yesterday I had a brainwave - I just need a manufacturer to take it up. When we can have skinny, bootcut, straight, flared and wide leg. Also high waist, low rise, below the waist, hipster and 'boyfiend' - why can we not have pearshaped, apple shaped, curvy and straight? Wouldn't it be great?
And on the subject of low rise jeans is anyone else fed up seeing more of womens bottoms than they want? We were at the cinema recently and a young mum was bending over sorting out her kids with drinks etc - builders bum didn't come close to describing what we were treated too! I'm no fuddy duddy but I cannot see what is attractive about a large expanse of bottom oozing over the top of jeans.
Needless to say my 2 pairs cover all eventualities!!
