Which Jeans Should I Get?

What is the major difference between "girls" and "guys" jeans? Should I get the guy skinnies or regular girls jeans? People tell me they are the same but I don't believe that...

The fabric is the same. The cut is very different. Women,juniors and misses all have different shapes because of their different developmental stages. in jeans it has to do with the hips. Womens jeans being the widest. There is also a difference in rise. That is the measurement from the center point between your legs to the top of the waist band. Girls jeans are generally low rise to medium rise and both will be lower than mens jeans. Low rise jeans look very sexy but are uncomfortable to wear at first and because as males we lack hips require a belt to keep them in place. I also suggest longer shirts that come down to the bottom of the waist band to keep from flashing your panties if that's what you decide to wear.

Hope this helps hon

Is it weird I really want to be a girl right now? I'm kinda caught between a hard place and rock so to say...anyway enough about that...maybe I could combine a little of both styles into something that looks cute. Well not jeans but clothing. I've got a pair of skinnies so I'll try to get a pair of girls jeans and compare. Thanks, Em :)

..

Regular rise women's jeans button above the waist....(about an inch above the belly button..)

There are different rises, though....

Try them on. I think Juniors girls will be a good fit as guys and chicks are similarly shaped at the younger ages, where men and women are not.

Most of the stuff people already said, but I don't think anyone said yet that girls jeans are stretchier. They have like 2% spandex and mens don't.

I'm concerned they won't have any in my size. I'm 5'10" and my jeans size is 28x32 (yes I'm super thin).

Really? That's great! Stretchy jeans are what I need. :)

Look for size long they are made for taller girls. I am 5'10.5 and I haven't had any problem finding skinny jeans as they only need to reach our ankles. With boot cut jeans can be harder to find because the syle is to wear them down the heel some.

You think they have my size in juniors?

Wow, another 5'10", 28x32'er here? I thought I was the only one!

After too many years trying to find size one long in the women's department, and after coming to terms with my FTM-ness, I actually find 28x32 easier to find. Target has 28x30's that, in the Converse brand, are certainly long enough, and the Gap has many 28x32 jeans in most stores. The Gap also has many long ladies' jeans, if that's what you prefer. Sears has a great selection, though you may have to shop online. And the best long ladies' pants I've found have come from an online store, alloy.com, where you choose your size (they have 00 to 16+) and then choose the inseam (28" to 37"), for very very reasonable prices.

Differences I've noticed: women's zippers are MUCH shorter, women's belt loops are often thinner and not as wide, men's jeans have real pockets, men's have more room in the zipper region (without changing where they sit on the hips), and ladies' jeans have little pockets that sit on the curve of the bottom (and accentuate curve) while mens' have bigger pockets that cover the mid-lower bottom and onto the back of the leg (and minimize curve).

Good luck!

Greetings,

As most of the differences have already been covered I'll just add this: always go with what looks good on you. That could be juniors, misses, or women's and truly depends on the style and cut of the jeans in question. Ultimately, if you don't like the way you look in them, you're not going to wear them, and the only way to figure that out is going to be to try them on...

Peace, love, and contentment,

Isabelle

actually i find that womens jeans fit and look better if you're tucking, but if you're not (or simply dont), mens skinny jeans dont look bad either. the mens skinnys i buy from hot topic are very stretchy and provide plenty of room for that certain region. and since they cling very close, they have that womens jean type feel.. at least thats my opinion

Ok Julie my little sister gave me permission to try hers on and they fit almost perfectly! They are just a little short.

Since my wife tends to wear clothes that are quite loose, which has

alwaysfrustrated me because she has a really good body, I urged her

to try on a pair of my ladies skinny jeans. I wear a size 8 with average

length that I usually buy at Costco because of both price and conven-

ience. They not only fit her perfectly and make her look wonderful,

but she has insisted that I share mine, promising to get more so we

have just one set of everyday jeans.

All the comments are right on. One of the things I enjoy is the tighter

fit, thanks to the Spandex, and the smaller pockets which are, in some

respects almost useless because if the goal is to make you look slim

and fit, packing a wallet and car keys pretty much ruins the look.

Remember, they are designed with the assumption that the person

wearing them is carrying a purse or handbag.

The major difference is that guy's jeans are meant to hang on the body while girl's jeans are meant to hug.

      Rants are not a problem.  My favorite hobby! :)   What's out there is bad enough that I wonder why some people feel they need to embellish it.  Be alert.   Some of this will need to be fought in court if they try to implement it. If people are out to get me, paranoia is justified.  And this may not be the only document.   Abby
    • Ivy
      Not in so many words, therefore it's not there at all.  Excuse my paranoia. And the states passing laws against us are nothing to worry about either. Having to change my gender back to male (like in Florida) is reasonable.  I should just accept it, I mean I was born with a dk.  So that "F" is lie, and a fraud.  My delusions need to be dealt with for my own good.   I'm just frustrated these days.  Just a bit of a rant.
    • Abigail Genevieve
      You probably remember the Target PR fiasco.  I remember reading an account from a woman who shopped there.  She went into a stall and did her business, and someone came into the bathroom and began swinging stall doors open, and when she came to her stall, the woman peeked at her through the crack. "What are you doing?" "Checking for perverts." The writer was so stunned by the absurdity that she finished up ASAP and got out of there, while the other woman entered a stall and locked it, made sure it was locked, and locked it again.

      Been a good day.Cleaned my closet of clothes that I do not wear anymore and do not fit me.It looks better now.Came down to my newest property beside mine,owner passed and I inherited it.There was a double wide there that was removed,it was in bad shape.It is the shop part I am keeping which I got the tools,shop equipment,benches,hoists and shelving too.

      Nothing about eradicating TG folk. 
    • Ivy
      If 9 out of 10 parts are ok, that doesn't mean I need to accept the bad parts (that are aimed directly at me).  That seems suicidal.
    • Ivy
      True, most of it has nothing to do directly with us.  It's the parts that do that are the problem.   I see the  few problematic statements as being a big problem.  Just because a lot of it may be okay, doesn't change that. Even supposing the rest of it might be good for the country, it doesn't help me if I'm being "eradicated".  I suppose I should be good with that, because it's for the "greater good".  If me being gone would please a number of people, then it's my civic duty to disappear, and vote to implement that.
    • Ivy
      Yeah.  There are already laws against assault.  I don't think the overwhelming majority of trans women have any desire to harass cis women.  Speaking for myself, if I go into a women's washroom, it's because my eyeballs are already floating - not for kicks.  And I worry about getting clocked and assaulted by some guy being a "hero."
    • Abigail Genevieve
      Only three, maybe four, sections even mention transgender.  Most is a conservative agenda I have no problem with.   In the sections that mention transgender, there are very few lines.  Those lines ARE problematic, in every case. Unequivocally.  I can't see some of them standing up in court.  In one case a recommended policy goes against a court decision, which strongly suggests the implementation of that policy would be stopped in court.    Anyone maintaining that this is written simply to support Trump, to support him becoming a dictator, to crush transgender people is feeding you a line.  Nor is it an attempt to erase transgender people.   People will have to decide if the overall goals are worth the few problematic statements.  Overall, I support it.  Of course, I have some reservations.
    • Abigail Genevieve
      It is unfamiliar, therefore threatening.   For 90% or so of the population, gender id can be simply and quickly determined by a quick anatomical observation.  They have no understanding and cannot imagine what it would mean to have a body different from the id.  It is unimaginable.  Therefore, wrong.   So there is this strong headwind.   I haven't entered this discussion, but here is a script: A: I can't imagine what it must be to have TG. B: You're a man, right? A: Well, of course. "amused" B: Imagine you were required by law and custom to wear women's clothing all the time. A: It wouldn't happen. B: Okay, but for the sake of the argument... A: That would be disgusting.  I would be very uncomfortable. B: You have it.  That is what TG people go through all the time. 24-7-365. A: Really? B: And then they are told they are perverts for having those feelings.  The same you just described. A: I see. B: And someone comes along and tells you you need conversion therapy so you will be comfortable wearing women's clothing all the time. A: I think I would break his nose. B: You understand transgender folk better than you think.

      I have found some people correlate TG = child predator ... just as some have correlated homosexual = child predator...    I am baffled by the TG = unsafe connection ... my wife tends to think this way, that this is all about sexual deviancy ... I try to ask how my preference for wearing frilly socks with embroidered flowers and a comfortable camisole under my lavender T-shirts is sexually deviant (or sexual anything) but I don't get very far...

      Not sure.  The perp is a minor.  The problem here is NOT transgender, the problem here is incompetent and criminal administration.  See https://www.nbcwashington.com/news/local/family-of-loudoun-co-student-sexually-assaulted-ineptitude-of-all-involved-is-staggering/3231725/ It is more than annoying that people think the problem here is TG and that other people think the solution is some stupid statewide law.  Like an appendectomy to deal with an ingrown toe nail.    Since Loudon, I recall a boy was asked not to use the girl's restroom at a high school by one of the girls.  He, overwhelming her with height and weight,  assaulted her, claiming he had a right to be there.   Later I think eight girls beat him severely in another girl's restroom.  Again the problem is not transgender, the problem is assaults in restrooms and common courtesy.  TG is used as a smokescreen and it seems to paralyze thought among administrators who do not want to do anything to provoke controversy.

      Time to get with your Primary Care doctor and be referred to a neurologist or an orthopedist.  It could be many things, too many for any of us here to guess at.
