Reply to comment by Muncie4 in Jeans for curvy women? by OneThumbChum

It has nothing to do with longevity but I need them to fit which is why I mentioned it, I already have an incredibly hard time finding jeans at all.

I’ll looks for that in jeans though, im always cold so fine with being warmer

Fit, especially for females, is a you guessing game. Curvy is not a metric. Heck, even a legit Size 16 is not a metric as many brands don't conform. So for fit, good luck is all I can say. You should know that oz/yard is the metric to look for....brand don't mean shit...as long as you can find/afford jeans in a heavy weight made by Whogivesashit and they fit, you are good.

And for mens, its real easy as 34x34 in 90% of cases is true. Reason #884 when men have it easy. :)

Idk, curvy jeans are usually formulated to have a small waist and larger give in the hip. For me, there's a huge difference in fit between those styled "curvy" and regular jeans.

Exactly. I'm a mid-size/plus-size woman (size 14 jean, almost always) but I have a big belly, smaller hips/butt, and very skinny calves (compared to the rest of me... I look like a bowling ball on sticks) so my normal size in curvy is too small in the waist and way too large everywhere else.

I think that's mainly cause curvy is different to what people seem to want it to mean..

Curvy isn't a nice word for fat, its literally for women who are curvy which is so far from being fat, I'm not even saying this to be a dick or anything but it seems like the word is always used wrongly.
