I’m losing my mind here. I don’t want to look like an idiot, though honestly, I feel like one with these wrinkled pants. 😁 From the front, everything looks fine, but from behind, right under my butt, it’s a disaster.
I used to think it was because I was too thin, but even after gaining about 30 pounds, I have the exact same issue. Maybe my thigh shape is just genetically unlucky. And it has nothing to do with the size. If they’re too small—they bunch. If they fit perfectly—they bunch. And of course, if they’re too big—they bunch. I know everyone gets a little wrinkling, but mine is way more obvious than most people's.
One specific pair from Old Navy fits me better than most, so over the last two years, I’ve basically built a collection of about 15 pairs of those jeggings in different colors. But even those aren't quite right.
Maybe it’s because I wear tights in the winter. I remember trying on some jeans once that looked perfectly smooth on the sales clerk, but on me, they were incredibly wrinkled. She wore them on bare legs, and I had tights on underneath. But I have to wear tights in the winter. Even in the summer when I wear pants on bare skin, I still have this problem.
Would getting a stationary bike help fix this?
Or maybe there are padded shapewear shorts that go down to the knee that could solve it?
Anyone got any advice?
I’m no expert, but perhaps a combination of cargo pants and working on those weaker hamstrings might be worth a shot?

As for fashion, try wearing wider trousers during the winter—something like office slacks—so you can layer tights and leggings underneath. Or, if you're dead set on jeggings, just pair them with a knee-length feathered jacket and skip the tights entirely; I know from experience that layering tights under tight pants is a total disaster.
