1. A pair of classic wide-leg trouser jeans by Lee that you'll be reaching for day after day after day. They're basically socially acceptable pajama pants that you can wear to work, Friday night drinks afterward, and brunch the next day. They're so comfy you might even accidentally fall asleep in them.
2. A pair of bell bottoms for when you're feeling especially ~groovy.~ You don't have to save these for a '60s-themed party — they'll look good no matter what era you wear them in.

7. A sleek Levi's 311 mid-rise shaping skinny jean you can look forward to wearing for years to come (because Levi's are awesome like that).

Promising review: "I hate ordering jeans without trying them on, but I was desperate for new jeans that weren't jeggings and that were long enough, so I took a chance. These jeans were perfect. I had surgery a little over a year ago that left me with a colostomy and finding pants that are comfortable in the waist but still stay in place has been extremely difficult. These are working perfectly. I feel comfortable in jeans again!!! I am tall, and the long length is great!!! Thank you!!! I will be ordering again!" –Teacher Mom 74
Get them from Lane Bryant for $39.97 (originally $79.95; available in sizes 12–40 and in short, petite, regular, long and extra long lengths).
15. A pair of Good American straight-leg jeans that will not only accentuate the 🍑🍑 but also fit so seamlessly on your body you might never want to take them off.
16. Mid-rise bootcut jeans if your vibe is "I live on a ranch and raise cattle" but make it ~fashun~. Same.
17. A pair of curve straight jeans because jeans don't have to be skinny (and thank goodness for it). These will feel like butter and look like designer.
18. Some mid-rise boyfriend jeans that'll give you that ~chill, laid-back ~ look you've been going for (even if your planner is color-coded and your day is mapped out by the hour).
19. A pair of (duh) Levi curvy straight-leg jeans because if you're going to buy denim, you might as well purchase from the brand that basically invented the style.
20. A pair of vintage stretch jeans for the ultimate comfort and style combination. Yes, in denim.
21. A pair of high-waisted bell-bottoms because this '70s-inspired shape will make you feel so 🔥. Reviewers describe them as feeling "hand-tailored" and "made to mold" to their shape, and your butt will be living its best life.
Promising review: "Oh. My. Gosh. These jeans are incredibly, incredibly amazing. I have a very hourglass shape, and I've looked, and looked, and looked for high-waisted bell-bottoms or flares that would fit me for about two months and had no success...until I found these. Not only did these jeans button with absolutely zero fuss, they slid up my legs and over my thighs like they were hand tailored to me. I have every intention of buying several pairs the next time I get paid!" —Kami
Get them from Amazon for $42.97+ (available in sizes 1–15, XL–3XL, and in 13 colors).
22. Or some distressed flares for a truly dramatic vibe that I'm here for. These bell-bottoms have intentional fraying at the bottom, and you can also get them in different colors without the butterfly decals if you like — either way, these are cute as heck!
Promising review: "Being a plus size 16, it can be very difficult to find jeans that are comfortable and stretchy. I was hesitant to buy, because I didn’t see anyone with a similar shape to mine. These jeans are perfect! Comfy, trendy, and they stretch well. Will be purchasing more colors." —Daquan Edmonds
Get them from Amazon for $25.99+ (available in sizes S–3XL and in 11 styles and colors).
23. Wide-leg jeans sporting an eye-catching seam down each leg. The relaxed leg opening keeps these light and breezy, with a look that's anything but boring.
Promising review: "I wasn’t sure if I would like these jeans and I was pleasantly surprised! The are a high waist, but not too high. The seams down the front [look good]. I’m 5’8” and the length is great. Looking forward to wearing these this fall." —Farm girl Chrissy
Get them from Lane Bryant for $54.97 (originally $109.95; available in sizes 14–28 and 40).
24. Loose cropped denim bloomers proving jeans don't have to squeeze the life out of our bodies to be considered "jeans." Made of 100% denim cotton, these have an elastic waist (with belt loops) and slightly tapered cuffs at the bottom to give them that bloomer shape!
Promising review: "I was apprehensive about getting these pants because I thought they might not [look good] on me, but YOOOOO I wear these boys like TWICE A WEEK I'M IN LOVE. They're cute asf with a crop top or oversized sweater tucked in!!! And they're so COMFORTABLE. The waist is completely elastic like pajama pants, but still has a button and zipper to look like jeans. I usually wear them with a belt to cinch in my waist a little more, but they're cute without one too! The pockets are DEEP too I can actually fit my phone in em, it's wild. I get compliments literally every single time I wear them!" —Kristin&Grace
Get them from Amazon for $58.99 (available in sizes M–3XL and in two colors).
25. Or mid-rise cargo joggers with a "cool" factor that doesn't sacrifice one ounce of comfort. Throw on your fave chunky sneakers and racerback tank and you're ready for that casual hang.
Get them from Boohoo for $25.20 (originally $38, available in sizes 12–20).
