I’m 58, need help buying Jeans

I stand by NY and Co jean. They have just the right stretch. I am about your ht, and over wt. They are also the right length for being a tall girl. I don't have to buy talls. I'm about 5'8 though. They are also reasonably priced.

I'm 5'7" and overweight also. I get the curvy skinny jeans from Old Navy. They come in several washes, light to dark. I catch them on sale when I need thwm.

Yes—NYDJ. Awesome jeans. Have a higher waist that contain the muffin but are not “mom jeans”. Love their bootcuts. They recommend to buy one size smaller than what you are in. Macy’s carries some in store, or you can order directly from NYDJ. Do the six hour test-wear them,sit in them without taking the tags off to check fit. Some of the blends will start snug and stretch out more then others. Even across the same style, like bootcut, the fabrics can be different.

I’m loving NYDJ and Liverpool.

I’m not a fan of NYDJ They are too stretchy. They seem a bit old dated at times too.

I like Wit & Wisdom jeans at Nordstroms. They are a little pricey but not bad and help control the muffin top.

I like landsend jeans..

I can only wear high rise. It holds everything in. I’ll never go back to mid or low rise.

I really feel like gap and old navy are for young people. After I had kids I moved on.

Do the wear test like someone else said, and don't be afraid to tailor the waist. I am not overweight, but I have a pear shape. I buy to fit the hips and tailor the waist.

Yes. I’ve tried buying jeans big enough to fit my waist and tried taking in the 2 to 4 inches per leg to make them fit properly, but I think my rudimentary sewing skills are not up to the challenge. The alteration was never comfortable. I just gave up and became a fan of Uniqlo's leggings pants which come in petite length and work perfectly for me without the huge thighs and butt.
