As in blue jeans, calvin kleins...

I've been trying to find some new, more stylish jeans lately. My jeans
just don't fit right any more. Mine are all baggy and make me look
heavier
than I am. So, I've been on a quest. And a hopeless quest at that.
Every pair I try on - even going up in sizes, they are skin tight.

I don't want saggy baggies... but I don't want the painted on look
either.
I've tried many brands, from lee, levi, gloria, to liz and others of no
names...

How do your jeans fit?

Skin tight?
Saggy baggy
or comfortably loose where you can grab the fabric and pull away.

What brands do you wear?

Answer especially if you are a pear...
(cheesy rhyme not really intended).

I've been wearing Lee Riders from Wal Mart. The stretch ones fit well and
still allow for a lot of movement. The relaxed fit are too big in the legs
if they fit my belly area. There is one other "fit" between relaxed and
stretch that I can't remember what it's called but it works for me. I have
a problem with some jeans because I have a very well defined waist and if
they fit my hips, they are usually too boxy for the waist or too baggy in
the legs. I also can't wear low rise because of the excess belly skin.
Mid-rise seem to be ok. Some brands in the slim fit work for me too, but
they tend to look painted on.

The Levis were tight in the waist and way too big in the legs. Anything
pleated in the front seems to have the same problem except for Dockers, but
I go through sizes too quickly to afford them right now.
