Jeans for a small bum.

Please, please help me find some jeans. I have a small bum and waist, I'm too old for skinny fit, and I quite like hipster/low slung type but my bum never fills the bum bit, so I look all baggy whereas I am actually reasonably pert for a woman of my advancing years.

Braces.

I have no bum, but sadly not a correspondingly small waist. I have yet to find a pair of jeans that stays up without the help of a good leather belt.

My mil has no bum. The only jeans she's ever liked are from Oasis. the range is called Scarlet. I saw them recommended on one of the Gok progs.

Seven for all mankind is kind and very flattering on my flattish bum (consequently, I have 6 or 7 pairs of them). I know flat bum sounds like a non-problem, but most other jeans look like empty bin liners on me. Trust me, not a great look for anyone.

Low-rise jeans are very problematic for me - won't stay up. Mid-rise is waaaay better.

And buy one size down if you can. Most jeans have some Lycra in them (I actually prefer ones that don't - 7FAM does 100% cotton, too), and stretch denim gets too loose after about one or two weeks of wear.

Another vote for 7FAM, I have a flat bum and these are the mosat flattering I have found.

Gap jeans fit my small bum. They are quite low rise, so waist size doesn't really matter, and I would always wear a belt anyway.

They do nice straight leg ones, although I would say you're never too old for skinnies (am in my fifties). My style consultant (age 13) says I look really cool in them Smile.
