UPDATE: There’s a new code valid through Sunday (7/24) and these NYDJ’s are still on sale!
Last summer, I gushed about how JAG pull-on jeans had transformed my life. Up until my discovery, I thought the only way to deal with my muffin top was to lose weight. To my delight, was I wrong. I just needed to stop buying clearanced trendy mid-rise jeans and embrace the high rise.
I now don’t care if my pants go all the way up to my bra line as long as my sides are smooth and my uterus padding is shoved back to it’s pre-2004 state.
Over the last year, I’ve searched for other brands that offer legit high-waisted pant options, and probably the most popular option out there is Not Your Daughter’s Jeans. NYDJ’s have now joined JAG in my regular rotation, but boy, are they spendy.
Lucky for us, Macy’s is having a wicked sale on NYDJ shorts and short pants, just in time for some Northwest shorts weather! Shipping is free on orders $99+.
Remember, you’re not tucking your shirt into these pants. No, ma’am. The tuck = mom jeans. Modern high-rise pants are made to look regular when you wear an un-tucked top.
NYDJ Briella Cuffed Colored Bermuda Shorts — $31.99 when you use the code SALE at checkout
My primary beef with bermuda shorts is they are often culotte-y in the legs. I don’t need my pants making my thighs look bigger. These NYDJ bermudas look to be slim in the leg.
NYDJ Avery Cuffed Denim Shorts — $31.99 when you use the code SALE at checkout
These shorties have a solid 6 inch inseam, which covers enough of what most of us want covered without going all the way to the knees. These are perfect for those of us with shorter legs.

I absolutely love your fashion related posts among others, of course. I am also in my 40’s, have the exact same body style/type and live in the Portland area. Your blog is so useful to me. I just ordered some JAG denim. I hope I have the same kind of success as you did! I think this 15 pounds might be here to stay and I am okay with that! I had luck with Stitch Fix as well. Thanks!
