Thanks, I'll try that!

I don't know how they fit - I am not the best gauge for thigh fit. All jeans are form fitting on my legs - so I decided to just stick with ones that are intentionally so.

She has looked (and still looks) constantly at those stores, and does not find anything. The waist sits way too high, and the material and general look is like for going to work on a tractor, not "sexy" or anything.

She gets her stuff overseas right now, but rather be able to by things in the US.

There are so many jeans brands - I can't believe she can't find anything. AG Jeans, Joe's Jeans, Forever 21, Warp and Weft, Good American, American Eagle, Madewell. All of those brands have all the cuts.

It is more than just the cut, it is the material as well. Jeans in the US have this "for work" look and sit high waisted except for skinny jeans. I pretty sure my wife would not be shopping overseas for clothes if she could find them here, but I know they do not have the same design jeans she buys in Turkey, Ukraine, and Russia here in the US, I have never seen them.

She does have some from the US for very casual wear, she has a pair from GAP, AE, and Hollister. Hollister for a while had the jeans she liked, but they have not had them for a few years now.

I will give her the list of names and your post so she can check, thank you for the suggestions.

After reading through this whole thread, I feel much better now. ;D. Thanks.

I'm sick and tired of ugly, ugly, ugly and cheap looking unflattering things. Ugly colors, ugly styles, unflattering, polyester. Big billowy shirts that form a "bubble" over your midriff.

And then, jeans that someone has purposely worn holes in before you buy them. ???

I shop at Macy's and Dillards, so it's not like bottom of the barrel. Can stores please go back to offering pretty colors, flattering styles, brand new looking clothing, in cotton that isn't just . . . UGLY?

So did a quick view, and those stores do not have what my wife is looking for. No low rise, flare or bootcut pants. They are all mid or high rise. My wife is only 5'2", so a mid rise sits way high on her as is.

Forever 21 is garbage, cheap quality and style.

Hmm, I guess I can't think of a time I got a for work look. All of my jeans are stretchy and soft. High waist seems to be more common now but maybe 25% of them.

I haven't bought any in a while. Wish me luck, I need get some. All of mine are either too big or died.

She must have a super short torso if the mid-rise is too high!

While forever21 is low quality generally, I have actually picked great fitting jeans that lasted a reasonable amount of time. They are really inconsistent, but some stuff has surprising longevity. But I made a pact my next pair of jeans would be made in the US.

Are you sure AE doesnt have what she wants? I went there with a friend a few months ago and she got low rise bootcut jeans. And I think some straight legged ones too. There were plenty of lower waist pairs but I don't remember if they were skinnies.

Fitted or not, I'm grateful some tops are longer than they have been. Being busty and long waisted I've struggled with finding tops that barely brush the tops of my jeans. I never put tops in the dryer for fear they'll end up as midriffs.
