Julie: How Do I Eliminate My Jeans Zipper Bulge?

Faith, Asks Julie: Hi Julie... I am an asian chick with a wide hips, but a small waist... Which is hard to find a good pair of jeans to fit into, because I have to have a bigger size for my hips, but then a belt to not crack the world! Anyway... I found a pair of jeans at a Vanity store. They are called Sparrow... They are a boy cut jeans which fit me rather nicely, however I have been having a problem... Whenever I sit down the zipper part tends to lump up... Not too attractive... And now I've been noticing that that little lump is still there even though I am standing! Would a different pair of jeans fix the problem?? What to you suggest? I wear 31x29... And I am 5'3", longer legs, short torso... What do you suggest? Faith.

Julie's Answer: Hi Faith, First off, thanks for being the first person to Ask me a fit question. The cut of a boyfriend jean is typically relaxed and tends to have a little extra room all around, which is what is creating the extra bulk around the zipper.  Also, this excess fabric may be due to a higher rise.  For those of us with a shorter torso, jeans with a higher rise can sometimes create unflattering fabric bunching.  To eliminate this problem, a lower front rise with a higher rise in the back to accommodate your curves may be the answer.  A bit of stretch in the fabric will help maintain your jean's shape when sitting and standing.  I would suggest you try for a not too low-rise option, which also happens to be my favorite, the Red Engine Super Sexy Boot Cut in Midnight Vintage wash.  Another option is the Gold Sign Desire,  which is made out of a beautiful fabrication and will hug your curves just right.  Because of your shorter 29" inseam, it may be helpful to opt for an original hem from truejeans.com or your local tailor to help preserve the original detailing of your jeans. I hope this helps your search for the perfect pair of jeans!

Best, Julie

Hi Julie,

I am short (5'3) and though my hips are larger than my waist, my thighs are athletic and relatively big. Most jeans that would fit my waist don't get past my thighs, and if they fit my thighs, they're too big around the waist! Or, they tend to make my legs look hippy and even shorter! What's a good fit for someone like me?
