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!
Most jeans are thin and stretchy now unless you get some that are known for being mom jeans, like Gloria Vanderbilt or Riders.
You have to experiment with different styles and different shades, it's not as simple as it used to be to pick jeans.
If you want some that aren't stretchy, check out the thrift stores. I always buy secondhand jeans for my daughter and we find lots of really good brands.

Go to a farm supply store, they have real jeans there as well as some of the other non jeans jeans.
This is definitely frustrating. As someone else mentioned, a thrift store could be a good place to look for jeans. Also, you might have better luck buying them online, although there's the obvious drawback of not being able to try them on. As I guy I have had a lot of luck with Levi's. I tried another brand recently and they have stretch in them. Although I didn't mind it initially, after a couple of hours I really missed my real jeans.

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 ).

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.

You should check the size of the clothing you purchase if you have these issues, perhaps the next size up then have them tailored a wee bit would be a better choice
