How to Buy Womens Stretch Jeans

Your stretch jeans fit perfectly in the store, but before you know it, the rear is drooping, the waist is sagging, and the knees on the jeans are buckling. You know that stretch jeans are supposed to offer some stretch, but not that much! What happens to stretch jeans to make them do this? After 30 minutes of wear, jeans loosen up about a quarter to a half inch all around. The cotton portion of denim permanently stretches, and the stretch fiber makes it give even more, so only that first fit of your women’s jeans is actually perfect.

So, how do you get the perfect amoung of stretch from your stretch jeans? Two percent stretch is the standard, whether it’s Lycra, spandex, elastane, or polyurethane. But the degree to which jeans with 2 percent stretch can bag out varies greatly. So how can you really tell which pair of stretch jeans will mold to you and which will need hiking up all day long? Poke your finger out from the inside of a pant leg. If you still see the indent after you remove your finger, you know that those jeans will bag out a lot.

What size of stretch jeans do you buy? Opt for jeans that feel almost too small. To determine your correct size: Site and bend in the jeans. They shouldn’t dig into you. Gauge by the rise: The jeans shouldn’t feel tight in the crotch or too comfortable (which means they’re too big). If the crotch feels right but the jeans are tight at the rear or thighs, the denim will give and wear well with time. If the waistband has you hanging out, that’s a sign you should try a different style of women’s jeans altogether.

If you want to salvage stretched out jeans and make them smaller you can shrink them in the dryer. Just keep in mind that your jeans will return to their previous state after you wear them for a while. The dryer will also cause fading and shrinking the the length of your stretch jeans.
