How do your jeans/pants fit?

Mine fit terribly. The army surplus trouser are already quite baggy, and I wear them below my hipbones to disguise my huge arse somewhat, so... yeah... baggy as heck.

I feel like an idiot about this seeing yall talking about taking in and hemming stuff. My pants never fit right and I stopped trying a long time ago. Even when I find a pair I like they're always too long (my pelvis is wide even when I'm underweight) and it never crossed my mind to hem them or otherwise alter them by sewing. I always just roll them up or cut them off. Hmm.

Nothing wrong with that. I think if you don't sew them, they will more likely ravel.

I'm a 31-32/30 and do pretty well with pants as long as I stick with my go-to brands (American Eagle for jeans, Perry Ellis for slacks). Regular slacks have insanely baggy legs, like I have no idea whose legs are anywhere near big enough for them so a slim fit is a must. For jeans, the AE slim straight fit is perfect for me as it's right between the boot cut/relaxed and skinny styles.

For guys on the shorter side - AE pants waists start at 26" and the inseams tend to be shorter than the advertised length (i.e. the 30" inseam is usually 29"). I think they also do 26x26 and 28x28. Tis quite handy.

Men's jeans tend to fit me better (at least, stay up on my hips better) than women's jeans. I think I'm shaped funny. I have a distinctly female lower half, but women's jeans slip right off my backside when I bend over. I'm a 30x32-33, which can be awkward to find for some reason.

Slim and skinny men's jeans tend to be pretty tight around my thighs, but that's to be expected.

I just went out and found my new favorite jeans-
For the short guys out there with a men's size waist- try Levi's boys husky. I found my perfect size in these- a 32x27. Personally I prefer the straight cut, but they've got several others as well. They fit really nice, plus they don't make my butt look round and feminine like all of my previous jeans do. They've got just enough room for my massive thighs, but they're not too big at the ankle. They're a thick denim too, which is nice for me because I tend to wear holes where my thighs rub together.
The best part? They're only $28  ;D

I went to go get new wranglers over the winter and that didnt work out lol but I did find Ariats that fit like a dream! The ones I have are 32"32s but a little big so I could've gone with 30x32s but they fit amazingly in the butt/thigh area and I'm 5"7  and have quite the butt and built legs, so I think Ariats are going to be a good buy for anyone. Traditionally, they're western jeans but I love them! I only have 1 pair ATM, as they're really pricey (mine were on sale & I got a military discount 32$ish
Normally 60-70$)

Pre-T and I realized I have to buy pants for my hips, because if I buy pants at my waist size (something like a 34) they don't fit, so I have to get a 36 and wear a belt. That being said, as long as I get somewhat stretchy jeans (98% cotton and 2% spandex is the perfect blend for slightly stretchy jeans, I have discovered) they fit pretty well and look decent.

My favorite type of jeans are skinny slackers, which are basically skinny jeans but a little bit more loose so you don't feel like a sausage. They fit really well (don't have to stretch them out every time I wear them) and look good. Unfortunately, the brand that really made them (anchor blue) went out of business. :(

Oh gosh.. Honestly, I don't like wearing baggy jeans or pants - it drives me nuts for some reason. :o
I mean, I can't have them flapping around or anything, you know?
I try to wear pants that are comfortably fitting around my hips and waist, yet also look good on my legs.
A pair of pants I have -- actually, they're womans pants, but I have to say, they look pretty darn good. :P
They fit comfortably but don't accent my hips or small legs, you know?
They fit perfect.
I actually have a really hard time finding pants, or any regular well-fitting clothes for that matter, because of my size.. I'm so darn small! I go to a lot of stores and all of their clothes are too big - even their smallest sizes! It drives me crazy; most of the pants I wear are woman's because they're the only kind that will fit!

Mine are baggy, but I love baggy pants, so it works well for me :D

As for normal sizing, they are a bit too big width wise, but length wise it's fine.  I'm tall and skinny, so they fit weird if I would want a normal sized pair of pants.

I can still wear pants from before T and they fit the same. There just wasn't much to change on my body. And I too am blown away by the small sizes here. I'm not even going to say what size I wear!  :laugh:
Geez wish I could pick up clothes from the boys section. Much cheaper that way, I bet.

I can wear boys 18. They are a tad tight in the hips.But not so anyone else would notice. My problem with boys pants is the inseam. They fit fine standing by, but sitting down, we'll let's just say they give me a wedgy in the wrong place.

I get most of my clothes at goodwill, so I can't be too picky. At least I find pants. Shirts seem much harder or me. Here is a question. When I start T I know my arms won't grow, but will my shoulders broaden enough to make the sleeve length correct?

I started wearing men's clothes right after I realized I was trans. I haven't had any changes being pre-T (grrr). The only thing I wear that's female is that stuff I wear around the house. It's loose and I like wearing loose clothes. But I'm going to replace it with guy's stuff.

Most of my stuff is from the thrift store. I have a pair of jeans I bought in the boy's dept (yes cheaper, but somewhat less nice-- not as deep pockets).

I only started wearing men's pants a few weeks ago, though I've been wearing shorts for a while. I'm a size 33 and I'm sticking to slim fitting, though I'm still self conscious about how my hips look in them.

I don't know if that's just me, but going shopping for anything for my lower half makes me really tense, like the possibility of not finding anything that fits my shape completely invalidates my gender.

I was the same way about my upper half. Big tits. Now all I have to worry about is the store running out of fat sizes.

So the Levi's my mom picked up the other day are a kid's 16 (they don't say boys or girls and appear pretty much unisex). 28x28, straight-leg. I like them so far  :P

ahh thats a great idea though, wearing husky boys sizes...
I always have my damn ass and hips in the way of wearing proper jeans, there's only so much larger I can go until the pants become too long.

That area can be a bit of an issue but probably not as much as other people. Though I despise the clearly non-male figure I see in the mirror if I catch a glimpse of myself unclothed  >:(
Also a quick note, looked up the pants and they happen to be boy's jeans. I won't tell her though- she's already had a fit over me being upset that some teachers insist on calling the students "Sir" or "Ma'am" (which is ridiculous anyway) and gave me the usual nonsense about throwing my life away and how she won't let me be a freak, and also something about going to live in a seedy underground community of transsexuals and men who dress in women's clothing and men who think that they are women if they chop their penises off. You know what? Sounds pretty good to me  :P

What you wear is up to you of course, but wouldn't wearing skinny emphasize your build?

They do to an extent, but I still don't feel comfortable straying too far from what I used to wear growing up, if that makes any sense. Sort of trying to find a good balance between what I've become accustomed to over years of women's pants and trying to look more "masculine". It's a work in progress.

My hips aren't too wide anyways, I'm still being read as male even in my slim fitting jeans - though not 100% of the time.
