Stretch Jeans Are They Supposed To Fit Skin Tight?

Putting on a pair of perfectly snug jeans that hit your waist just right is pure bliss. Putting on a pair of jeans that are, uh, *too* snug and start to dig into your sides? Not then much. Whether it'south the tight waistband or the constricting thigh area, sometimes you but want some extra breathing room.

They can slightly compress when you lot take them fresh outta the dryer, especially if they take some elastane in them (more on how to compress your jeans here), but if you want the reverse—i.east., to make 'em bigger—follow these steps to get the right fit. It's actually super easy and takes practically no time at all. I mean, Beyonce said, "If you don't jump to put jeans on, then you lot don't feel my pain," but exerting yourself tin can actually assist with this issue. (It'll all brand sense with the second choice, trust me.)

Method one: Spray and stretch

Go a spray bottle and fill it with lukewarm h2o.
Spritz information technology on the sections where you want the cloth to have some requite, like the thigh, dogie, genu, or waistband areas. If yous don't have a spray bottle, try dampening it nether a faucet or with newspaper towels.
Stretch it out by grabbing each end and pulling.
Try the pair on to see if it needs more stretch in any areas, echo step iv if it does.

Method two: Wet and wearable

Fully wet your jeans in lukewarm h2o either in bathtub or a basin.
Put them on (while wet, I know!), and exercise some movements that'll stretch them out like lunges, squats, bending over, walking, sitting, etc. You can also practice the movements without wetting the jeans, but the water helps loosen and soften the threads.
Ideally, yous'd permit them dry on y'all, but if you don't similar the thought of existence in wet jeans for hours on end, remove them and air dry out.
