High heat in the wash/dryer can ruin the Spandex/elastic in stretch type jeans if done repeatedly, making them even looser.  The jeans will stretch back when you wear them for a while.  You could try having them tailored, that would make them smaller.

I think at that point, when jeans do get loose like that, I end up getting rid of them (even if they are my favorite pair) or just stop wearing them.

Ice cream!

Eat more chocolate. Always seems to make my clothes shrink.

Ha ha…yup, eat more

There’s no true way besides taking them to a tailor and having them taken in. If you shrink them in the wash, they will gradually stretch back to their normal size, usually by the end of the day. I HATE when that happens.

@MiaJoyTheWriter@xanga - Haha. So true.

i wish i could shrink mine length-wise. i always have to buy short and they’re still too long =/

Eat more or a belt I wish I could wear belts It sure sucks being allergic to basically all the materials in belts! Almost every pair of jeans I get that fit the waist just seems baggyish..

uhhhhhh a tailor? smh -__-

A tailor.

i’d say just hang on to the tag of the jeans (so you know the brand, size, style/cut) and go shoppin for a new pair… having them tailored down is usually not worth it unless those were some VERY expensive jeans. running them through a hot wash will work maybe 5-6 time and then you’ll end up with pants which fit at the beginning of the day and magically don’t at the end of it.

I’ve learned that nothing will shrink your jeans.  I’m patiently waiting for my jeans to shrink, but they’re not going to.  Sigh.  I didn’t even want to lose as much weight/many inches as I did.  I wanted to exercise a little like I used to and BAM, half of my clothes don’t fit anymore… and I feel it’s getting worse

Or just sew them up a bit smaller yourself: http://www.freshlypickedblog.com/2010/02/taking-in-jeans-at-side-seam-tutorial.html

I admit, I haven’t tried this out myself yet.  But one of my friends has (she’s the one who introduced me to this method) and she said it worked brilliantly for her.

It’s so annoying to look like a gangsta in my hollister jeans.

I would switch to another brand.

I bought two different styles of Arizona jeans that fit wonderful in the store. Little did I know that they stretch a ton throughout the day. They’re nice and form fitting when first washed and dried but an hour after wearing them they are at least 2 sizes larger and I have to hold them up. I will never buy those again.

For a quick tightening, I usually pop them in the dryer. Nothing seems permanent though. :/

call them winter pants andwear them with a pair of leggings underneath
you can get them taken in

if they are loose in the legs, you can try bulking up and adding muscle.

Take in the sides. You can’t shrink jeans like a cotton shirt. <.<

Wear them as boyfriend jeans
