You can find yourself constantly picking up your jeans throughout the day. While a belt is a simple solution, having the waist taken in is a more elegant route. A good tailor will take in the waist at the back, directly in the center. This is a tricky operation since both the center seam and the belt loop sit at this point and it requires a surgical hand to undo and restitch them.
If done correctly, the center back seam will look the same and the cut that the tailor has made at the waist band will be hidden by the belt loop. The seat is the trickiest alteration to have done. If you can avoid this, do so. It gets better with every wear and every wash, which is really what blue jeans all about. The Stretch jeans feature zipper flies, suede back patches and oxidized rivets.

To taper your jeans for a more streamlined leg look, the tailor will have you try on the jeans then pin along the inseams the line of stitching running down the inner leg. The jeans will then be turned inside out and sewn to create a more slender "tapered" leg opening. The extra fabric on your tailored jeans can be cut away or just sewn inside, depending on the excess amount. Bear in mind: If you're taking in the calves of jeans as well as the thighs, the bottoms may need to be re-hemmed.
Ask the tailor for an "original hem" to give jeans an unaltered look. Waist gapping can be an issue with denim pants, but an experienced tailor can alter a waistband to nip it in a bit. Just be sure not to take in the jeans more than one to one and a half inches at the waist, as doing more can change the pocket positioning and front shaping of the jeans. Not to mention, you'll likely have to alter the hips as well to maintain the proper line. It's often easier and less expensive to either wear a belt or find a pair of jeans that fits your hips better.
Before taking a new pair of jeans for alterations, you should wash them a couple of times first. To wash jeans, turn them inside out and launder them in cold water on the delicate setting of your machine, then leave them to hang dry. Putting your jeans through a few wash cycles will ensure they won't shrink further and that the tailor is working with the "final" shape and length. If you're buying a new pair of jeans that requires a few tweaks, ask the store where you shopped if they have alternation services—some department stores offer free or discounted hemming.
Seamstress shops may charge more for original hems, so always ask for detailed information about the service and cost. Finally, make sure to ask the tailor if they have experience altering denim fabric in particular, as tailoring jeans can involve special stitching techniques and sewing equipment.
