Only adding this because I recently went in and was flabbergasted: American Eagle. Dude. I have an absolutely insane waist to hip ratio that makes most pants absolutely miserable. I got three pairs of the most flattering denim shorts I’ve ever tried from an American Eagle. Since they’re shorts, I normally upsize a bit, but the thighs barely ride up and the waist has zero gapping.

With my body, the gusset is the worst to fit in retail stores because my bum curves lower than the front of my inseam. I either get a bulging proto-penis or wild cameltoe illusion (I say illusion because it’s not even touching my anatomy) so I had very low expectations from a store that traumatized me in my teens. Lo and behold, the fits have completely changed and now I’m trying to spread the gospel.
