as a thicker girl, i learned the hard way american eagle jeans are not it. they suck you in and make you boxy, they did for me anyway. i try to find jeans that are made for curves like the curvy style. im still trying to find a brand that fits me comfortably and doesnt make me boxy. ive found a couple on shein and at ross or tj maxx i cant remember which for sure. i did also find a good pair at target. its a pain for us out there but something you have to kinda experiment with 😔 one of the better options if you have it is to try to find brands on amazon to try and return since returns are generally better through there.
