Maybe I won't be "forever in blue jeans..." [View all]

Fellow senior women, I dress very casually and I like blue jeans.

But...one thing I don't like about them. When newly washed, they fit OK.
After that, they start to...not fit so well. I don't want to go to a smaller size,
and I don't know if I could anyway.

I've thought of jeans with elastic waistbands, as well as regular slacks with elastic waistbands (which I used to wear to work).

Your experiences and suggestions?
