I guess I wear "grandma" jeans. I like the ones with a zipper but with elastic either on the sides or on the back. I would look pretty stupid in low rise jeans. I have to get the ones with elastic because of surgery , my waist is 2 inches bigger than my hips. Before I always bought mens jeans anyway. My waist and hips were close the the same size and I had a very short crotch measurement (compared to womens pants) If I bought girl jeans the crotch hung down to my knees. lol I was just made weird. No hour glass figure here.
