Well, I guess unisex trousers were not enough, I always want more. But I keep getting stuck with the sizing. I was thinking about these ones:

Let's see. The last ones I bought were a 34 waist and I needed a belt to get them properly. Almost fit on thights and calves (they are kinda big). My measuring, more or less relaxed is:

Waist: 30" (77 cm)
Hips: 33" (84 cm)

As an extra, just in case:

Bellybutton (fat acummulation level): 31.88" (81 cm)
Thights (widest part): 20" (51.5 cm)
calves (widest part): 14.5" (37 cm)

My hips are basically... Well, the hipbone. I have no fat acumulation of any kind down there. The skinny unisex ones I bought were elastic, but here the thing gets trickier. If I pick the correct waist, Im guessing the hip area will be baggy and empty. Usually I wear my pants over the hipbones, but not at waist level, so I don't know which would be the correct size for those jeans (each one seems to have a different sizing chart).


So, can I get a bit of help with the correct size, please? If they really can fit me, of course...

BTW: This how I look with the 34 size pants.

I wear a size 6 with a 31" waste. But, I have 39 1/2" hips so things tend to fit pretty well. If I were you, I would go to a store and try some on. Probably start with a size 5 and work from there. You can find the odd sizes in the misses (teen) section. Women's sizes vary depending on the make, fabric, cut, day of the week, hour...just about every combination of factors. It is quite difficult to find pants that fit perfectly. Also, unless they are low rise, they are made to be worn around the waste, not hips. That will have a factor on how they fit. Good luck.

Sorry, not enough confidence to go to a real store, so I will have to bet. It was already difficult enough to book today an appointment for waxing my eyebrows...

They are labelled as low waist. I don't know if I should set the hip size as the selection (they are sized by waists), or check the table and select a waist size that matches my real hips. What a pain.

If you do that, they will be baggy below the pants waste line. Maybe, going for teen sizes would work best for you since they do not usually (generalization) have very developed hips. Just a thought.

Oh well, I will have to risk (now that I can afford it. From the photo, they seem to have the same rise as the ones I already have, so I only need to correct a bit the size... No pain, no gain.


I wish I had a local friend that could help me with these things.

You should buy with hip measure as a priority so basically you will have to buy the smallest size that will fit your legs otherwise, probably like a 4 or 6. ( I think that is 26/28 EU sizes? idk I can't remember)

based on your hip measurements you're around a 2, but that will look odd in contrast to a thirty inch waist, as a size two usually correspond to around a twenty five inch waist.

Maybe you should buy a size 10 and try padding? that would make your body look more womanly.

You want what's called a "straight-fit" (or straightest-fit) or "junior fit" jean, they are made for people with haven't developed hips. Even a low-rise is high enough that if you buy regular jeans for your hip size, you might not be able to get them buttoned up. This is the kind of thing I'd look for for you:

That's more or less what I was looking for, thanks.

Ok, I have them. I could have probably get them one sidze smaller, but they don't look that bad. Provided that I am using hip pads to overcome the problem of the hips. I so much hate lying...


The only problem is that they make me look... fat? I worked quite hard to go down 8 kilos and it makes me feel as a gigantic larda$$.
