I know this is a literal bitmoji but it got me thinking how every time I try to order baggy pants that fit like this, they just end up like straight leg pants on me that fit normally.

I’m about a 32x34

I tried on the viral barrel jeans and looked like the rootinest tootinest cowboy in town. Where are we getting work- and fun-appropriate denim!? For reference I’m 5’8”, anywhere from a 4-8 depending on who you ask, and am still trying to move beyond my love of a skinny jean.

I just had my second baby and am struggling so hard to find jeans I love! I prefer a mid rise jean but am hoping for something with give and stretch. In a dream world I'd love to find something I'll reach for instead of leggings. I've given Miramar, Spanx EveryWear and Gap Ultra Soft a try but none are quite right. What’s your coziest denim recommendations?

A couple years ago I used to swear by American eagle’s jeans. They were my favorite! They fit so well and sizing was pretty consistent. I tried buying jeans recently and the sizing has completely changed. I have to try on at least 2 sizes for each type of jean to figure out what fits. I bought their stovetop jeans recently and I thought I loved them until after wearing them for just a few hours, the jeans stretched about two sizes up. By the end of the day the jeans were falling off!

Has anyone had more luck with a different line of American eagle jeans? Or is the quality just overall bad now?

I am comparing the Curvy Dreamy Drape Super High Rise Baggy Wide Leg (stretch) to strigid non curvy version.

Loved the strigid one in terms of shape and length but there is a waistband gap :(

However, the curvy fits beautiful around my waist. But it fits so differently. First of all, why is the curvy one SO much longer?? Litterally pools on the ground. Secondly, it's so much more baggier than the strigid one. Does not look like the model photo.

I'm hoping the Curvy in 0 - short will fit best on me.
