Whether you’re pear-shaped, hourglass or somewhere in between, curves should be embraced in all their glory. With that said, it’s often difficult to find denim that fits comfortably and looks complimentary. Don’t fret—we’ve done the shopping for you. Ahead, six of the best on-trend jeans that hug just the right places, plus exactly what to look for in this crucial wardrobe staple.
Jeans Fit For Curves
High-Rise
Look for: Mid to high rises, which cinch at the waist to accentuate your curves in the best way.
ASOS Curve Lisbon Mid Rise Skinny Jean, $48
Dark Wash
Look for: Solid, dark hues, which are the most flattering washes (fades tend to make your legs look bigger).
Levi's Revel Bold Curve Skinny Jeans, $98
Spandex
Look for: Jeans with at least 1 percent spandex or Lycra, which allows them to stretch and mold to your silhouette.
Guess Mid-Rise Power Curvy Jeans, $89
Boyfriend
Look for: Comfortable boyfriend-fit jeans, which are universally flattering on most body types. Opt for ones that are cuffed and not too baggy.
Target Boyfriend Denim Jeans, $35
Straight Leg
Look for: Straight or slim options instead of super-constricting legs, which can be overly tight and unflattering.
Old Navy Curvy Skinny Jeans, $30
Wide-Leg
Look for: Wide-leg or boot-cut, ideal for pear-shaped bodies to elongate the legs and balance out the hips.
