Plus Sized Button Fly Jeans

One of the most challenging garments to find is plus sized button fly jeans. This elusive piece of clothing may be difficult to unearth but it can be well worth the effort.

Levis Strauss

Levis features comfortable options for women, as long as they have a 25” waist. The Boyfriend Cut Jean is a perfect example of a pair of paints that would be perfect for fuller figures, if only they came in a more generous size. The classic look of the 501 Boyfriend Cut is not an option, even though there would be a great market for this particular style.

Button Fly Pros and Cons

The challenge of finding a great pair of jeans that fit is difficult enough without the added trial of trying to find a pair that buttons. One wonders why full figured women would want to put the time and effort into searching for something so elusive. Let’s look at the pros and cons of this type of garment for consideration.

Cons

It may be a good idea to get the negative aspects of the jeans out of the way before exploring the benefits. After some deliberation, you may find that you are more than happy to continue the search for the perfect pair of button fly pants that fit well and look fantastic.

• They can be time-consuming to fasten. A quick pull of a zipper seems like a great alternative to buttoning one fastener after another.
• The fly can gather awkwardly around the areas that the buttons meet, leaving unsightly gaps. This is a particular problem if the jeans do not fit properly.
• They are very difficult to find in plus sizes.

This is not an exhaustive list but the points may be enough to send you running to the nearest zipper. However, there are some benefits to button fly jeans as well.

Pros

Oddly enough, some of the benefits of selecting button fly options lie in the drawbacks of zipper fasteners on pants. Well-constructed denim jeans are naturally durable but zippers do not always stand up to the durability test. If you have ever experienced some of the disasters that zippers can wreak at the most inopportune moments, you are probably well aware of the benefits of opting for other types of fasteners.

• Zippers have been known to split, leaving a wide open gap in the fly that is still fastened by the zipper’s pull at the top. The only means of escape is to either break the pull off or to try to move it back down the track.
• The fastening system can slowly slide down as you move about, making it necessary to keep pulling it back up.

Button fly styles do not pinch your skin and they are more likely to stay securely in place. This can be the single most appealing aspect of this type of fastener.

Finding Plus Sized Button Fly Jeans

The major obstacle is finding button fly pants in larger sizes. While some traditional plus size stores usually come through for full-figured gals, they seem to fall short when it comes to this particular piece of clothing. In spite of the challenge, some great options are available.

Online Shopping

Western plus size jeans may be your best bet. Langston’s Western, Work and Casual Wear features a few nice options larger than size 14 for consideration.

• Levis’ Women’s 529 Curvy Jean is available up to a size 16. They are generous in the hip area and slimmer at the waist.

• Cruel Girl Jeans with button fly are available up to size 19 and they have a bootleg cut and a low-ride waist.

Resale Venues

When all else fails, try resale shops. Button fly jeans in plus sizes may not be the hottest item on the market right now, but you can always opt for a retro look in this style. Consignment shops are nice places to start but you can spend a lot of time shopping without successfully finding the right garment.

eBay is a great resource for finding older clothes and while many are in used condition, there are quite a few offered new with tags or never worn.

Keep Your Options Open

You may have your heart set on finding the perfect pair of plus sized button fly jeans but you may come across other gorgeous options during your search. No matter if the look is high waisted jeans for women or straight leg jeans, there are many styles that look fantastic, zipper or no zipper.
