According to Senior Designer for Jockey Person to Person, Sunil Ramchandani:
Shopping for jeans that fit perfectly can be frustrating. Before you head to the dressing room yet again, follow these guidelines to help you find your perfect denim (without all the bells and whistles.)
1. Fabric: A poly cotton blend will help retain the shape and color much longer.
2. Fit: The waist should have enough room to fit one finger in between the pants and yourself and the denim must be fitted through the thigh and knee. The rise should be 1” below your belly button but no more than 3”.
3. Length: If you are wearing flats, your jeans should touch the floor. With heels, the pant leg should be ¼” above the floor on your back heel. Make sure to have separate pairs to wear with heels and flats.
4. Leg Shapes and Body Types: Bootlegs work best on Pear and Hourglass body shapes. Straight legs work best on Apple and Pencil body shapes. Wide legs work best on Strawberry shapes.
5. Camouflage Your Flaws: If you have a slight belly, you should go for a stretch fit and wear it with longer length, un-tucked boots. If you have a large bottom, go for a slightly lower rise with simple back pockets. Big Hips, the boot cut is your friend as it will help rebalance your figure.

Finding the right jeans to flatter my figure used to be the bain of my existence. Either the length would be too long (I'm only 5'3) or it would do this little pocket in the back (probably due to my posterior).
In college I would have my jeans tailored - yes, I had issues.
I've realized that the best jeans that fit my particular shape has to have a bit of stretch (lol). I've got hips and back (que Sir Mix Alot) so I need something to "give" a little ;-)
Do any of you have issues when shopping for jeans?
