There is a name or actually several names for the condition that affects a large percentage of women over 40. Call them mom jeans or rib ticklers. You know when it takes four minutes for your zipper to travel from bottom to top or if your jeans look like they are consuming your torso ,it's time for an update. Start with your body type are you curvy? straight hipped? Curvy gals are actually better in a slightly higher rise jean with a contour waistband. A little stretch, say 2% will help with problem spots. Keep the washes and pockets simple and clean.
A woman with a straight hip has the opportunity to wear a little lower waist and possibly a little slimmer leg. The jean should sit at your natural waistline just above your hipbone. Buy them a little snug. All jeans stretch out as you wear them anyway. Keep the length clean without a lot of break at the ankle, this makes for a longer leg look and keeps the denim from dragging and fraying. A slight update at any age can drastically change your look. Don't get stuck on something you liked 8 years ago.
