How to get trousers/jeans to fit on the waist instead of falling down?!

I have quite a small waist and trousers or jeans fit me when I first put them on but very quickly seem to start falling down. I can't buy a smaller size as I struggle to get my bum and hips into anything smaller. I think it's not helped by fabrics stretching out a bit as I wear them but I can't prevent that and the clothes I'm wearing aren't necessarily low quality. I don't imagine a belt would help much as it seems that there is so much fabric that I would have to gather or fold the fabric to fit to my waist. How does everybody else deal with this? I am sick of an outfit looking nice and then spending all day pulling up my trousers as they're sagging under my bum!

No, Levis discontinued the Bold Curve range over here. The site lets you filter but 0 items come up.

There are only 2 jeans I don't need a belt for - Topshop Jamie and Sainsbury's Tu skinnies.

Yes I think the curve jeans were discontinued - hence having to go via eBay for them

But in all honesty getting a local tailor to take in jeans which fit you everywhere else does make sense in the long run!

I have quite a small waist and gap high waisted and top shop jamies Work for me.

The ones in the picture are simply too big, but with jeans it's about finding the right shape for you which takes trial and error.

Levi stopped the curve range but I still find them the best fit out there, only jeans I don't have to keep hitching up

H&M and TK Maxx jeans have really good waist-hip ratios. I'm a proper pear shape and they're pretty good for me. Anything else, skintight on both legs but I can literally get both my arms in to the waist.

I like Jenna by New Look.

Thanks for the responses, I will give gap a try and think about getting things adjusted in future since they don’t have many styles available. I have some Jamie jeans from topshop and they are much better but I don’t always want that much fabric over my stomach.
