7 Seven Jeans Bootcut. These are an example of what is out there. This is not my body, not even close. These may be perfectly great jeans for me, but until I try them on, there\\u2019s no telling. (For the record, I have tried them on and they\\u2019re way too tight in the thighs.) Good luck finding photos of jeans on a woman who is size 12 or 14; even more luck if her body is the same shape as yours; and even better luck if the dressing rooms have mirrors that tell you what you really look like in themThe problem I\\u2019ve had these last 3 years is threefold. First of all, the waist lines available really suck for anyone who has acquired a softness in their mid section. Second of all, we are back to non curvy, for the most part, when it comes to jeans, so if your body bears any semblance of sexy, you can pretty much forget most brands and styles of jeans available. Third of all, is it just me, or are jeans a lot longer in leg length than they used to be? Because I\\u2019m sorry, but while I\\u2019ve got nice legs, they don\\u2019t go on forever and I don\\u2019t know many women who have legs that do. And no my legs have not shrunk!
I find no pleasure in rolling up my jeans, I think it looks dumb. (I\\u2019m not going fishing and I\\u2019m not gardening all the time.) I know designers are trying to make it stylish to do so because they\\u2019re trying to mask the fact that their faulty pant legs are way too long. I also know that another tactic designers use to cover up their faulty jean design is to bring back stilettos as a key accessory to pants and jeans. These tactics only bring frustration and pain to what should be my normal life, as I try to do normal things in not so normal clothes.
Note to fashion designers: I find no pleasure in showing off the softness of my midsection to anyone other than my significant other in private. Nor do I enjoy trying to cover up the fact that I\\u2019m not a fitness buff with shirts that are way to long, not long enough, too poofy, or too tight. I don\\u2019t like the option of wearing Not Your Daughter\\u2019s Jeans because though some women like them, they\\u2019re not all they\\u2019re cracked up to be.
My sister says that hipster jeans (which have been around longer than I ever expected them to be and are taking over the world now) are great for your back. That they\\u2019re comfortable. This from a woman who thinks thongs are fabulous and have great coverage. I say they\\u2019re not useful for the average woman who doesn\\u2019t have a tramp stamp or a whale tail to show off. I have neither, so what\\u2019s the point.
I am not a model. I am not pregnant. I am not fat, I\\u2019m just normal sized. Most of all I hate trying on millions of pairs of jeans for hours and hours on end without any luck. I\\u2019m sure I cannot afford to pay an haute couture designer to design the perfect jean, just for me. So where do women like me fit in? What can we fit into? Is there a jean that makes a woman look pretty just because she is? A pair that makes her look just as great clothed as she is naked?
Eileen Fisher Organic Cotton Stretch Skinny JeansFor me, so far, the answer is Eileen Fisher. And believe me, yes, I\\u2019m happy to pay the higher price. The length of her jeans is perfect. The soft, organic cotton, stretch skinny jean is just perfect. Hugs and tucks in just the right places.
Though I\\u2019d like them to be a bit higher in the waist to cover up more belly, I\\u2019ve found tops that hide that area perfectly. As for my thighs, even though these jeans are considered \\u201Cskinny jeans\\u201D they fit perfectly, even when I sit. And my legs look fabulous without having to suffer to look that way.
I\\u2019m hoping that she will come out with a pair of jeans that pleases me even more. Her expansion of the simple things, the basic ideas, really make me smile.
No matter what your age, or general figure, it\\u2019s important to wear clothes that look and feel great while enjoy the pretty life. Eileen Fisher has that covered. She looks at the whole woman. At generations of women. Of women as a society.

You could be a girl with a very cute, sexy, slim body, and still have frustrating jean problems because your curves are, well, curves. Truth is, no two bodies, normal or not, are alike. When someone finds a pair of jeans they feel great in, they stick with that brand and style for as long as they can. I\u2019m still looking for that perfect pair, but I have gotten close. The majority of styles out there in the way of jeans for women have overstayed their welcome, in my opinion, and very few designers, from what I can tell, have stepped up to showcase the natural woman\u2019s body.
