I recently bought a pair of skinny jeans -- from the men's department, as it happens. I love the way they fit in my hips and legs, but the waist is too loose. so instead, it seems to me that I need a style that's more fitted at the waist, which probably means that it's really women's jeans I need.
The thing is, I'm worried about the other details that would come along with women's styles. Mainly room in the front, and a long enough fly. But also adequate pockets.
Any advice?
Hi Jayne,
You basically have it. Women's jeans have a much closer fit down the front, Shorter zipper, shorter pockets, 5 pocket barely qualifies as the 'watch' pocket is not much more that a lipsick holder - which works for me! - lol.
I have been dressing fully for much of the last 5 years and I no longer wear men's pants. nor any thing else male.
Personally, I tuck and sit to use the facilities. So it all works fine for me.

I prefer women's jeans. They are softer, fit better.
For a man i am short, for a woman top end of average. So women's pants dont need to be hemmed.
Some days i tuck or tape everything away, other days, i just let the panties hold me in place and a little bulge shows. The lack of front pockets means that key go in the jacket.
I have been out and about today running errands. I took my purse. The bank teller, the bank manger store clerks, not seem to care one bit, that i was in women's jeans, blouses, high heels, painted nails, sparkly jewelry, eye makeup, the red lips were not visible under the mask. Big hoop earrings, with my own short hair.
So i say wear what feels comfortable.

It depends on where you shop I suppose. Where I am in the US, Kohl's has a fabulous selection of jeans without a lot of embellishment.
I have a pair of women's skinny jeans on right now and I love them. I don't believe you are going to find many with deep pockets or longer front zipper.

I find woman's jeans fit and feel better than men's jeans. and for pocket's that's what a pocket book is for.
Old Navy is my standby for all sorts of women’s jeans. I’ve worn nothing but women’s jeans for years. Out and about I generally wear straight leg or boot cuts. In the summer, I’ve worn skinny jeans with sandals or booties. The smaller pockets are OK for most things. In front, just my keys. In back my metal-card-wallet is very small and my smart phone gets just enough pocket to stay with me. When I have occasionally worn men’s jeans, I have trouble retrieving things from the cavernous pockets. The slim body hugging fit makes me feel better put together. Here’s the thing! I think men wearing women’s jeans has become “a thing!” Holy cow - are we mainstream?

FIRST, Girl!! Women do NOT carry stuff in their pockets... Not if they're trying to appear feminine.
That's why the pockets are small and the purses are BIG...lol
I would say go try them on. Can't hurt to see how they fit.
Also, as far as room goes, if you want the proper appearance, you may need to tuck anyway...just saying.
It sounds like you want the comfort of cargo shorts and the sex appeal of leggings...you can have both honey. pretty or functional...you must decide which is more important.
It changes daily for me, except when trying to appear femme, then it's pretty first.
HAve fun!

Jayne,
I agree with the other comments here. Try women's jeans! They feel great on, softer material and stretchy in all the right places. You will get over the smaller pockets. I do think it is kinda cute to have my phone in a back pocket. Enough of the phone sticks out to show off the pink cell phone cover I have!
There are so many different styles, colors and fit. Once you try them, you won't go back to guy jeans!

My very first outing in all women’s clothes started with Liz Claiborne jeans. Yes, the fly and pockets are tiny but tuck and just bring a few credit cards and you are fine. What is amazing is how you feel wearing the same clothes that other young women are wearing. I found myself walking with smaller steps and a slight sway in my hips. Needless to say, I still luv how they make me feel and look. This year, high waisted jeans are very popular. Look at them and see if they interest you. Pick something that is girlish but trendy. Skinny jeans high waisted jeans or flares are also worth looking at. Enjoy girlfriend!

I haven't worn anything but women's for the past three years and will never go back to men's. the softness and stretch make for the most comfortable jeans I have ever worn. I love the stretch so they don't dig while on long drives. As for pockets I find Lee jeans seem to have better pockets both on the rear and front and I wear my shirt tales out so no one notices the shorter zipper. one plus is my wife thinks I look sexy in my girly jeans.
Gurl...women's jeans of any type are not going to have the amount of pockets you're desiring simply because women's jeans are made with the mindset that we will be carrying purses. Unless you go with a cargo style of pants that have pockets on the legs. The zipper thing you're just going to have to get used to it not being in the "right place" for your scepter because again, women's jeans are made with the mindset that we will always be sitting for the bathroom. I am plus size (as you can see) so I usually get jeans with around a 46 or 47 inch waist. Anything bigger in the waist and I run the risk of my flat ass being more noticeable. My suggestion is buy a cheap pair of women's as close to what you would wear in the waist in men's jeans. Boyfriend jeans seem to mimic men's jeans in fit the best.
Good luck sweetie
Jayne,Please pick a store and try on some womens jeans.you can pick the style,length,type of jeans at a storethat has a good selection.Enjoy your shopping day girl and have fun.
Thanks, Jessica. I've read that high-waisted jeans are particularly good for a tall and slim figure (which is me), so I'll certainly be looking at those. I'm also thinking that jeans that are flared at the bottom will help to give more of a curvy silhouette, which might be good.
Hi, Dani, and thanks for the tip about Kohl's. Are there any particular brands that have worked well for you?
Also, is my girls' size likely to be the same as my guys' size? I've read that subtracting a couple of inches is usually correct.
