If I can sit down in my jeans without popping a seam or gasping for breath, it's all good. Likewise, I prefer that they be able to stay up without a belt. (I've lost enough weight in the past decade that that's an actual issue with some older jeans.) I buy my jeans for my comfort, not to suit anybody else's fashion rules, especially if those rules say that if I don't trip over the legs, the legs aren't long enough. No thanks.
