Shopping for plus size jeans (or any size jeans, for that matter) is no-one’s favourite past-time, whether it's low-slung jeans, wide leg jeans or high-waisted jeans you're looking for. And often, stiff denim, restrictive waistbands and generic silhouettes mean curvy women fall short on what's available for them – but it doesn’t have to be this way anymore. GLAMOUR has curated the ultimate edit of the best plus size jeans with great size ranges to help plus-size women find high-quality denim that makes them feel their very best.

There are billions of jeans in the world (seriously, two billion pairs of jeans are made every single year), but finding the perfect fit for your own body, and - let’s face it - the ones that will make your bum look its best, is an epic task. What’s on the curvy girls’ denim wish-list? Waist-bands that don’t gape; jeans that are cut in proportion over the bum and thighs; decent quality denim that doesn’t sag after one hour’s wear. Come to think of it, how about a new name for the ‘skinny’ jean?
Oh, and perhaps everyone's biggest request of the fashion industry at large? If you stock a wide size range, please, please show the product on an array of different bodies. It's not easy to visualise how the size 18 jeans will sit on a size 18 body, if you're only showing it on a size 8. It shouldn't be too much to ask.
We’ve delved deep into the denim styles on sale today and found that the most versatile silhouettes for plus size women are boyfriend jeans, mom jeans, bootcut jeans, straight jeans and ‘skinny’ jeans. You likely already own at least one of these shapes, so it’s up to you to decide what else is missing from the denim section of your closet. The average women in the UK owns 10 (!) pairs of jeans, so we don’t think five pairs are extravagant…as long as you wear them all regularly.
Say what you like about the Kardashians, but jeans from Khloe Kardashian’s denim brand Good American have received so much praise for their quality fabrics with a dash of stretch, ‘gap-proof sculpting waistbands' and inclusive sizing. The Always Fits Good Classic Slim Straight Jeans go from size 00 to a size 32 for all body types, and they’re so damn flattering, and for office days, try something a little smarter like their Good Classic slim bootcut jeans. With a nipped in waistband and flattering cut over the hips and thighs, wear them with a tucked in white t-shirt and blazer and you’re good to go.
If you’re looking for high-street jeans, Topshop's Curve Straight Jeans with Raw Hem, could be the ones. Comfortingly high-waisted and straight cut, these are the plus-size jeans that can take you anywhere. Elsewhere, wide-leg jeans – like H&M's baggy low jeans and 90s baggy high jeans – are the perfect pair of plus-size jeans on hourglass figures. The extra volume on the leg will keep your figure in proportion and, if you choose the right leg length, they’ll suit heels and trainers.
If you're looking for something specific, we've done a deep dive on denim. Check out more of our jeans edits below.
