How do I find jeans that fit my waist AND hips?

The waist-hip gap is the most common plus-size jeans problem. Solutions: (1) Buy for your hips and tailor the waist — a tailor can take in a waistband for $15–$30; (2) Buy curvy-fit jeans specifically designed for hip-to-waist ratio (Good American, Levi's Curvy, Torrid Premium); (3) Choose elastic waistband or partial-elastic styles that adjust to your specific ratio; (4) High-rise styles with back-elastic panels (NYDJ uses a patented panel) reduce gaping. We rate every jeans review for waistband gap severity at the hip size reviewed.
