I am really struggling to find a pair of jeans this year to fit my now huge waist (thanks perimenopause) but thin legs/thighs/hips. I need a 14/16 stretch waist but that makes my butt/hips/thighs look like balloon pants (like MC Hammer pants!). I've tried a lot jeans in the past month and nothing has worked.
I have tried a lot of Old Navy jeans since they were my staple jean for years (until the 20 pound weight gain this year). The 10s still fit my hips, but I can't even remotely zip them up.
The 16s are zippable, but I need to take like 4 inches off the hips/thighs.
I was thinking of trying Democracy jeans on Amazon but I can't find any reviews that mention a huge waist and skinny legs. I wish I could wear shorts all year!!!
Anyone have any advice? TIA!
