Oh I have more than enough curves...which is why I don't like them, actually. I am a modest dresser, preferring sleek, classic lines to miles of curving highways. I can see why some people like them for just that reason, but really they are not made for all shapes and not everyone looks good in them, myself included. Camel toe is not my friend.
If you're getting camel toe you need a different pair and/or a different size.
Granted, it's been six months since I last bought jeans but then they still made all the normal styles in addition to the jeggings.
Decided to go shopping for jeans the other day and everywhere I went, the bluejeans were all made in tight, stretchy fabric that didn't even mildly resemble the denim I know and love! I usually buy Lucky brand but even the ones I found at Macy's were more like leggings than actual jeans. I went to several stores and even tried on some of these stretchy "jeans", which will probably keep me from ever enjoying another regular meal again Is this trend going to permanently replace regular denim? If so, I have bought my very last pair. It will be skirts from now on. Someone please tell me this was just a really bad day of shopping and not the death of denim!
Where to find plain old fashioned denim jeans (at least, around here):
Costco
Sam's Club
Walmart
Tractor Supply
Big R stores
Big Bear Sports
Scheels
Cabela's
I would add to this list:
L. L. Bean
Eddie Bauer (can be found in Sears)
Also try K-mart
If you want to INVESTMENT in a pair of jeans try this place: » Jeans | HARDENCO
Heh, by coincidence I was at Walmart shopping for jeans earlier today. My pet peeves:
(1) They had about 5000 styles of "skinny" jeans. My legs are not "skinny".
(2) They had about 5000 styles of jeans cut like bikinis instead of with a natural waist. I do not have the kind of tummy or hips that look or feel good with pants cut that way.
(3) They had one style of traditional-cut Riders jeans. They didn't have any left in my size.
I think stretchy jean fabric is the jean makers' response to fatty folk Americans' habit of wearing sloppy but comfortable clothing everywhere such as sweatpants, yoga pants, pajamas, basketball shorts etc. Several styles of levis have even adapted this new type of "denim". I think jean makers noticed the reduction in formality by consumers in favor of cheap, flimsy, sloppy materials that move with you and offer constant comfort. And now jean makers are competing for the more slovenly consumers of these products.

Stretchy jeans are taking over right now. Frankly I love them. Love of these types of jeans depends on your shape. If you do not have curves you likely will not appricate that the strechy fabic fits like a glove. I hate the other types of classis material as it either fits too big or I am going the good old lying down pulling the zipper up all my strength to squeeze the hips and butt in. Also I love them because they are crazy comfortable. I could even work out in them (I wouldn't ... but I could ).
I have LOTS of curves along with bumps and rolls.....NOBODY and I mean NOBODY needs or wants to see all that in stretchy skinny jeans.....And this chick ain't sliding those suckers up my hips. I may never get the damn things off! I like my skin to be able to breath....oh and I like breathing as well.

Exactly. I see so many large women in these tight stretchy jean-like pants, and they look horrible. I think they assume that if they can pull them up and fasten them, then they must fit!
I second LL Bean! These days they're the only brand I will buy. They offer different types, like relaxed fit, for example. Also, for the winter, they have flannel-lined jeans---which are great when it's cold outside.
I still wear a handful of Levis as well (the ones still made in America). I also wear Diesel jeans. They're still the same quality and fit as they always have been.
I wonder if the OP is saying that the same model jeans she wore years ago has changed in material and quality... or whether he/she's trying a new pair/brand.
