If you are between sizes in jeans do you...

[LegoTherapy]

Size up or down? Comfortable sizing up equals saving around the bum after an hour. Sizing down equals a slight muffin top but it's covered up by a hoodie.
No matter what weight I am I am always between sizes 🙄 currently a comfortable 10 in most things but if a size 9 existed it would probably be perfect

Up and belt

Size up with a belt? That's what I do!

Oh snap @Octavia64 !

It exists, at least it existed in Next.
and try different places, e.g Gap sizing is more refined then M&S

I like fat face jeans and mint velvet. A belt doesn't solve the baggy butt issues, it just stops them falling down.

Experiment with different styles and brands!! I have 2 favourite styles of jeans at the moment. Cigarette M&S ones which I wear in a size 12 and wide leg jeans from Tu which I wear in a 14!

Size up and go for no stretch.

Years ago I bought a pair of trousers size 13 from M&S.
I think it was an experimental thing, as sadly they didn't continue with the 'in between' sizing.
The size 13 were perfect for me, I am typical pear shape so a size 12 is perfect on the waist, but tight on the thighs. Size 14 perfect on the thighs, massive on the waist.
I do wish I had bought more pairs!

Previously I've sized up and used a belt but recently I've bought a couple of pairs labelled 'hourglass fit' which has solved the problem and I've been able to buy the smaller size.

Up and a belt or get a size 29"

Or just go to different shop. I have sizes 27, 28, 29 ,30 and 31 all fit as they are different makes. and styles.

My best fit on the bum and hips are my 27 Levi bootcut but they produce a small muffin top due to being cut low.

Next do in between size jeans. I wish more shops would follow suit.

Size up and belt.

Have you tried a different style - high rise instead of mid rise for example?

I'd size up, but TBH I'd rather just buy a brand that did fit me.
My favourite jeans are New Look and I'm a size 8 there, most other places I'm a 10 though.

Next do a size 9, I couldn't believe it when I saw it in the shop. Life changer

High rise are very uncomfortable on me. I prefer them just below my navel.

Try Wranglers or M&S or any old thing. Levi are obviously not quite your shape.

All my jeans from M&S/new look etc seem to get baggier around the waist with wear so I tend to go for slightly smaller than larger (still had to be comfortable though!)

Up as although jeans can give I need the space for any bloating. I think it also depends a bit on the material. If there's more elastane or polyester you know the will 'grow' more.

Depends where I get them. Really a size 11 but mostly go down a size as going up hives me a slightly weird baggy crutch 😒

I have the exact same issue. No matter what weight I get to I’m always between sizes. It’s very annoying. I think it is better though if you go for jeans that are sized in inches and with less or no stretch.

Me, too. 5ft 3 and size 10s sometimes too big and 8s are sometimes too small.

I had to buy a size 14 swimsuit in M and S a couple of years ago! I weighed a bit less then. Their sizing is still hit and miss for me.
