Jeans are a must-have in everyone's closet, and it feels like it's impossible to have too many, which is a good thing (for most people), because there are lots of quality pairs out there for a reasonable price. Not all jeans are made the same though, and so we are putting the spotlight on denim that hugs and complements curves in the best way for this spring and summer season while staying true to the most current styles.
There are straight leg jeans, the classic skinny (which we stand by, sorry Gen-Z), baggy jeans, and the ever-popular jeans in a bunch of different washes and — most importantly — with inclusive sizing options. The best part: All of these high-quality options are under $150.
Good American Straight Split Pocket Jeans
$139
from
Good American
Good American jeans really are good, according to the rave reviews the brand seems to get from buyers. This medium deep blue wash pair seems to be among the favorite styles for curvy wearers. This style has a straight leg that is slightly cropped to show off cute shoes, while the split pockets add a little interest to the overall design.
Good Straight Jeans
$99
from
Good American
We're not done with Good American just yet. The straight leg cut is super popular among jean-wearers and not just in indigo. Black jeans are a staple in the closet because they're so versatile. These Duster Black '90s jeans from the brand will become a new go-to. They're also on sale. It's a sign.
ASOS Skinny Jeans in Clean Black
Sorry, Gen-Z, but we're not ready to let go of our skinny jeans just yet, especially when these ASOS skinnies are out there. They're a skinny cut with a black wash but we also see they come in other washes, too. We like these because they fit smoothly on curves and can be dressed up, or down. From afar, they can even look like leggings.
H&M Curvy Fit '90s Baggy Low Jeans
Low cut jeans are coming back and given how these jeans slay on every body, we think for the better. These H&M Curvy Fit '90s Baggy Low jeans are great for sunnier spring and summer weather and can be dressed up or down, depending on the occasion, either with a crop top or a modest bodysuit.
Express Mid-Rise Light Wash Ripped Curvy Skinny Jeans
These Express light-wash skinny jeans look like they were made for curves. They're not only hugging them, but comforting them almost, which makes sense that a reviewer wrote they fit "like a glove." They're mid-rise and available up to size 18 and long, regular, and short lengths.
Everlane the Curvy Cheeky Jean
If anyone is in doubt that this Everlane jean is made for curves, they just need to look to its name: The Curvy Cheeky Jean. It is a straight leg jean, ironically, but it does subtly sit along the shape of the curve in what the brand called "form-hugging fit." It comes in three different washes and regular or ankle lengths, too.
Madewell the Tall Curvy Perfect Vintage Jean
Madewell is one of those brands that's very reliable in the jean department and we found a few that look fabulous, including the Tall Curvy Perfect Vintage Jean. It's a looser-fitting straight leg jean with '90s mom jeans vibes (with a younger feel thanks to the subtle distressed touches here and there). It comes in a light-blue "Coffey Wash."
Madewell Baggy Straight Jeans in Earlhurst Wash: Ripped Edition
Madewell's Baggy Straight Jeans in Earlhurst Wash: Ripped Edition are beyond cute. They're baggy and distressed but still hug the waist. As one reviewer put it, the jeans are "baggy through the hips and thighs without being comical. Buy these jeans. You won’t be sorry." They're high-waisted and made from 100% cotton nonstretch denim.
Madewell Plus Curvy High-Rise Skinny Jeans
These hip-hugging Madewell jeans also called the Curvy High-Rise Skinny Jeans come in an amazing deep blue wash that makes the legs look longer. According to the brand, the jeans are "designed for an hourglass shape (see: narrower waist with a contoured band, a longer rise and a little extra room at the hips and thighs)."
Warp + Weft World High-Rise Straight in Newport
$98
from
Warp + Weft
These Warp + Weft jeans are very class 2023 jeans. They're a light-wash straight leg, cropped fit that pays homage to vintage styles. The material is firm but stretchy as well as a high-rise. It's straight in the leg in addition to a straight waist. Our favorite part: the brand has a sustainability pledge.
Lane Bryant Curvy Fit High-Rise Skinny Jean
$80
from
Lane Bryant
We've said it before but we'll say it again: Everyone needs a staple pair of black jeans, or two, in their closet. These black Lane Bryant Curvy Fit High-Rise Skinny Jeans are great for days in the office or dressed up a bit for nights out. The main feature: a Flex Magic Waistband for comfort and stretch.
Torrid Curvy Skinny Jean
You can't go wrong with a dark wash, distressed skinny jean. This classic style is a weekend wardrobe staple. In the case of these by Torrid, they're made with smooth denim (smooth enough to sleep in, the brand says) as well as ultimate stretch. It also has "booty-shaping stitching." Sounds good to us.
Target Super High-Rise Distressed Slim Straight Jeans
These distressed high-rise slim straight cropped jeans are perfect for brunch or vacation and can be paired with sneakers, boots, or heels. The style touts fashionable rips and deep back pockets which, hallelujah to that. Sizes range up to a 30 and they're available in a medium wash.
Old Navy Curvy High-Waisted OG Straight Ankle Jeans for Women
These jeans are shaping up to be this generation's classic straight jean cut. They're the perfect mom jean that can be worn just about anywhere, even if it's around the house. They hit at the ankle, are high waisted to cover all one's bases, and have a cool light-wash blue. They're a fan favorite.
Levi's 501 Original Cropped Women's Jeans
Levi's 501 Original Cropped Women's jeans are what comes to mind when one thinks of classic American blue jeans but with a cropped leg. These have the traditional Levi's straight fit and button fly. The style comes in three washes, including the Charleston Outlasted Dark Wash. This is another style that gets a four-star customer rating.
Universal Standard Diana Super High-Rise Raw-Hem Wide-Leg Jeans
$49
from
Universal Standard
Universal Standard is a brand some have said they've found success with when it comes to jeans, especially when it comes to size inclusivity. These are a very wide-leg and cropped style for those looking to achieve that particular look, which is popular right now. These have plenty of stretch and the waistband has darting to help reduce gaping.
Levi's '70s High-Rise Flare Jeans
The '70s are roaring back strong this year and it's more present than ever in the jeans that have come out this season, including this '70s High-Rise Flare pair from Levi's. They're tight at the waist and hug the leg before flaring out at the calf. This darker wash can be dressed up or down.
A&F Curve Love High-Rise '90s Relaxed Jean
$67.5
from
Abercrombie & Fitch
Abercrombie has come a long way since its body exclusive days of past, and thank goodness, because these jeans are made for all bodies, but can accentuate the shape of curvier bodies, for sure. The low-rise look is in right now, but these are high rise for those of us who still want the comfort and coverage.
City Chic Harley Hi-Rise Skinny Jean
While these high-rise jeans from Avenue have the skinny label, they do still give shape to the body wearing it. That cinched waist look is fire and these jeans definitely deliver on that. They also feature front buttons, slight cuffing at the hems, and two distressed rips in the front for a more laid-back style.
Good American Good Legs Flare No Fade Jeans
$129
from
Good American
Flare jeans are back in style, anther nod to the '70s flare style from the heyday of boomers, but we're here for it. There's something about the style in black that looks incredible on all bodies, but especially curvy ones. This pair can be work for a night out or in the office dressed up with a blazer.
