No two women were created the same, so it really comes as no surprise that every time we go shopping for denim, it can be a difficult—occasionally nearly impossible—process. We searched the market and pulled together the most flattering jeans for those with big, beautiful butts as well as those with a flatter silhouette. Now, we're addressing another common fit issue, this time involving thighs.
For women with muscular thighs, we feel your pain. When there's a disparity between your thighs and waist, what you often end up with is a pair of jeans you can shimmy up your legs only to end up with a huge gap when you zip-and-snap. On the flip side, slipping on jeans that fit your waist but not your thighs is a problem, too.
