| Gap jeans - come in every color and last a long time |
These are my tried and true experiences of jeans from watching women try them on to trying them on myself. Of course, there are exceptions to every rule based on how YOU like your jeans to fit.
Hourglass or Pear-Shaped Girls (Smaller waist and Larger hips)
I'm one of these girls. And universally, I have found 4 jean brands that fit me the best: Citizen Jeans, GAP jeans, Pilcro (which is the Anthropologie brand), and some cuts of Paige denim. Current Elliott is not bad either, but only the boyfriend cuts.. Not every cut of Gap jeans, fits this type, but there are many that do.
Athletic Build (Long and lean with waist and hips almost the same)
The brands that will knock it out of the park for you are J Brand, J. Crew, Mother, Current Elliott, Seven jeans and Gap. I know I mentioned Gap above, but I swear they have a fit that will work with your body type.You'll notice, I only described 2 body types. That is because if you are slender, the athletic brands will fit you will and so will every other jean out there. Curvy, pear-shaped and hourglass - all jeans will fit you the same.
Curvy Frames that are not like the ones above
NYJD denim is A-MAZING and so is Cookie Johnson's CK denim line, Cookie is Magic Johnson's wife and boy is her denim premium. This line looks amazing on pear-shaped women and skinny women as well. It is just fantastic.
Not every denim out there is mentioned, because I don't have experience with EVERY denim line, and there are also denim lines that I don't like, because the denim is fantastic, but the fit not-so-much.
Most I have ever paid for a pair? $225.00 and worth every.single.penny.
Places I find jeans? I mostly buy mine at the Gap or thrift premium jeans at second-hand stores. I started doing the latter because because I could find a wide variety of makers, they are already broken in and I find a lot of amazing deals. Like the jeans with hand embroidered birds on them that were sold at TOOTSIES when I worked there and sold for $425.00. Two years later, I found them for $56. People stop me at the gas station while pumping gas to praise them, they are that beau-ti-ful.
I'll suggest some national places to buy next time and places to get help. I'll also suggest some local Houston women that I think are good at listening and helping you find the jean that is right for you.

I'm a classic pear and agree with you about GAP and Citizens. I also suggest AG, in the Stevie cut, as the fabrication is so nice. Now if jeans could only be cut without a fly front. This pear does not need any extra fabric over the stomach!
Ahh yes, oh wise one, you are right - a fly front would be great. And the Stevie is a good choice. I added that to my FB comments, but forgot it on the post. AG I think comes in the BEST colors and fabrications. You are so wise.
