Unless otherwise specified, all sizes in this post are listed in women's.
1. Baggy boyfriend jeans in case you're ready to embrace the trendier wide-leg style. These have a slouchy fit that'll look so cute with cropped sweaters, tucked-in tanks, and more.
These jeans aren't stretchy, so be sure to consult the size chart for the specific style you want!
Promising review: "I had been looking all over the place for wide-legged jeans that fit! They are usually either too tight and uncomfortable in the hip area, too tight in the calf area, or way too long! OMG when I received these they were absolutely fantastic! They were everything I wanted in a pair of jeans! The fit was perfect and so comfortable and the length was spot on… and I love the wider leg because I love to wear boots with a heel and these are amazing! They also look fantastic with just a pair or casual flip flops! I would recommend these to everyone!" —Lori
Get them from Amazon for $42.69 (available in sizes XS—XL and in 17 washes).
2. Some colorful patchwork jeans that honestly have more personality than I do. With the all-over patchwork design and intentional fraying, they'll be the star of any 'fit — throw on a basic tank or tee and you're good to go.
Promising review: "10 STARS!!! These jeans are SUPER cute and they fit perfectly!!! The waistband conforms to your shape so no belt needed. The spandex is good. Will be ordering the black and green ones as well." —Johnson
Get them from Amazon for $37.99 (available in sizes 0–16 and in seven patchwork colors).
3. Ultra high-rise Levi's jeans you can reach for all year long, whether you dress them up with heels or keep things casual with your favorite sneaks.
Prime members: You can try before you buy!
Promising review: "My favorite jeans of all time. High waisted Levi’s are so comfy, so high quality, so adorable…my daughter stole mine and I had to buy another pair. She is 27, I am 49. These jeans rock a multitude of generations and body types. The dark wash is my favorite and they are a thick denim, cool button fly and not much stretch. Levi’s will never go out of style." —patrice hedrick
Get it from Amazon for $69.99 (available in jean's sizes 24–32 regular and plus sizes 16–24, and 16 styles).
4. Or Levi's Wedgie straight jeans designed to wrap snugly around the hips and thighs for a ~cheeky~ fit that'll really enhance your 🍑 . They're also high-rise (though not ultra high rise like the ones above) and straight leg for a balanced look.
Prime members: You can try before you buy!
BuzzFeed Shopping editor Melanie Aman says, "If you told me I could only wear one pair of jeans for the rest of my life, I would hands-down choose my Levi’s Wedgie fit jeans — no other pair comes close. These jeans tick all my boxes: They cup my butt nicely so it doesn’t look like a flat pancake, they hit at the perfect spot on my ankle whereas most jeans are too long on my weirdly short legs, and they don’t lose their shape over time — no matter how many weeks I go without washing them (don’t judge me, OK?) I own several pairs and am guilty of buying them when they’re on sale, regardless of whether I actually need a new pair. Who am I kidding, I always need a new pair!"
Get them from Amazon for $69.99 (available in jean's sizes 24–32 regular, plus sizes 14–24, and 15 colors).
5. Wide-leg cow-print jeans to add some fun to your wardrobe and awaken the cowgirl within you. Can I get a "yee-haw"?
Promising review: "These pants are literally everything I hoped they'd be and more. The quality is top notch! Was afraid the pattern would be like, ironed on, but that's not the case! It's actually dyed and looks great in person. Perfect length to add boots, and love the high waist." —Maggie
Get them from Amazon for $49.99 (available in sizes XXS–XL and in 24 styles).
6. 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 $32.88+ (available in sizes 1–15, XL–3XL, and in 13 colors).
7. Rolled-cuff Lee boyfriend jeans boasting over 10,000 5-star ratings on Amazon, with reviewers praising their fit and comfort. Slightly cropped at the bottom with frayed cuffs, these'll let you show off your favorite ankle booties, sandals, and more.
Prime members: You can try before you buy!
Promising review: "I have a hard time finding jeans that are truly comfortable on me. These are Lee jeans; that should be enough said. However, the fit on me is perfect. They move with me. Not stiff at all, very comfortable, and not confining. I carry all my weight in my hips and thighs, and to find jeans that allow me to move comfortably is a win-win!! I am a size 16, and I bought my normal size. This is my second pair, and I am sure I will buy more." —Allison94
Get them from Amazon for $32.99 (available in sizes 6–18 and five washes).
8. Madewell's curvy vintage jeans, which have been ~reengineered~ for hourglass shapes. That just means they have a narrower waist, a longer rise to accomodate le booty, and extra room at the hips and thighs (god bless you, Madewell).
Promising review: "It took a MINUTE but Madewell has finally made the perfect-fitting curvy jeans. I sized down one size to a 16 as these stretch with wear. I’m the first to admit I was skeptical of the new 'plus' jeans but I’ve been proven wrong. I haven’t had a pair of jeans fit this perfectly in years. AND I was able to try these on in the store and purchase them unlike in the past when the plus size items were online only, this made me feel like a customer that actually mattered rather than a demographic they’re just trying to hit. Buy these jeans, feel great, get all the compliments." —BCrowe
Get them from Madewell for $29.99+ (originally $128; available in standard sizes 23–33, plus sizes 22W–28W, and select petite and tall sizes). Check out other styles and colors here!
9. Or Abercrombie's ultra high-rise straight jeans that come in so many sizes and colors, someone really should give them a gold star or something. Alexa, play "Feeling Myself" by Nicki Minaj, because that's how you'll be feeling in this comfy pair that's designed with curves in mind.
Abercrombie's Curve Love fit means these have an additional 2 inches through the hip and thigh area, which helps prevent waist gapping.
Promising review: "Worth the hype. I finally bought these after months of complimenting other girls on their jeans and every time they said they were from Abercrombie. I couldn't mentally justify the price. Let me tell you — they are well worth it. They are the [best-looking] jeans I've ever owned. They are extremely stiff at first but they break in. I purchased the same size I wear in Abercrombie's dress pants and they fit perfect. Highly recommend." —Graciecat
Get them from Abercrombie & Fitch for $99 (available in sizes 23–37, including extra short, short, regular, long, and extra long lengths, plus 30 colors and washes).
10. Distressed jean joggers, aka the best of both worlds when you need to put on "real pants" but also don't wanna take off your sweats. The elastic drawstring waist and relaxed fit of these will keep you as comfy as your favorite PJs, and they're easily dressed up for running errands or meeting friends.
Promising review: "I ordered size 16 and oh boy what a fit. I was on cloud nine after wearing as they were so comfortable, and my first distressed jeans. I wear them very regularly and they're as good as new. The comfort is like next level and very decent distress, and looks very nice after pairing with white tee. The pull up feature is to die for. I'm very happy with the material used, fit and appearance of the fabric. Go for it if you want comfort and style. Really a must in every wardrobe." —Mallika Bansal
Get them from Amazon for $31 (available in sizes 4–18 and 16 colors).
11. 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 $23.40 (originally $39, available in sizes 12–20).
12. Fashionable wide-leg jeans letting you embrace the Y2K aesthetic, whether it's a fun print like hearts or butterflies, or a bold color like pink.
13. High-rise flared jeans that come in classic denim shades as well as fun colors like "apricot brandy" (yum). They're designed to stretch comfortably while hugging your curves — gorgeous silhouette, here we come.
Promising review: "I put these on and my jaw literally dropped. These are everything. Super stretchy and comfortable. Perfectly high-waisted and [cute] as heck. I have a short torso and long legs and flares are always too short; not these! They’re perfect with a heel. My usual FP jean size 25 was IT." —filiadeluna
Get them from Free People for $98 (available in sizes 24–33 and 13 colors; some colors have very limited sizing). These come in a corduroy style too!
14. 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 14 styles and colors).
15. High-waist ripped, baggy jeans that'll have you looking effortlessly cool and feeling ridiculously comfy thanks to the roomy fit.
Promising review: "If you're on the hunt for an essential pair of durable black ripped jeans, you literally came to the right page. I've had these jeans [for almost 10 months] and let me say they've survived everything and are still alive. I ordered a size up so XL because I wanted a larger kind of baggy look, but if you order your regular size they'll fit perfectly. Purchase them now — they'll add, in every perfect way, to your essential wardrobe." —Andres R Lopez
Get them from Amazon for $39.99 (available in sizes XS–XL and in 15 colors, with different levels of distressing).
16. Some multicolor floral jeans for when the vibe is "ready to star in a '90s hip-hop video." This is a statement-making pair that'll have you feeling sooo confident.
Promising review: "Love these pants, particularly for the length — it's a long time I haven't had a pair of jeans/pants reach past my ankles. However please see the size guide and get your size — to fit like the model I should've gotten a medium, but thankfully I was going for a '90s hip-hop vibe so the large worked perfect. The material quality is good, not the thickest denim but it definitely is denim. The print is beautiful, got several looks and compliments." —MeiksLou
Get them from Amazon for $54.99 (available in sizes XXS–XL and 21 styles).
17. 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 $109.95 (available in sizes 14–28 and 38/40).
18. Bootcut jeans for a classic, tailored silhouette that flares slightly at the bottom — no cutting off your ankle circulation here.
These do run a little long, FYI!
Promising review: "I tried these on without looking in a mirror and they went on like they were custom-made for me. I thought they couldn’t possibly look that good because they felt so comfortable. When I looked in the mirror I was shocked! They were the absolute perfect pair of jeans! My husband commented that they were life changing! Haha! I’m so thrilled that I found the perfect jeans without trying on 40 pairs at the store and walking away with nothing because they don’t look good." —Sparkle Plenty
Get them on Amazon for $40.97 (available in sizes 0—20 and in six washes).
19. Dickies carpenter jeans thick and durable enough to be work pants, but cute and comfy enough for everyday wear too. Get you some pants that can do both!
Prime members: You can try before you buy!
Promising review: "Finally found some work pants I like! They are super functional with lots of pockets and reinforced knees. I have worn these all day in the hot sun and they are pretty thick but still breathable. Crouching on bricks/cement, bending in awkward positions with these is no problem. I think these will last a long time." —good stuff
Get them from Amazon for $35.99+ (available in sizes 2–16 and in three colors).
20. Lavender cargo pants — this lovely pastel shade will help you ward off the winter blues (and have Taylor Swift's "Lavender Haze" stuck in your head all day).
Warp + Weft is a family-owned business that makes their own premium denim from scratch.
Get them from Warp + Weft for $73 (originally $98, final sale; available in sizes 00–14 and two other colors).
21. Super cute barrel-cut pants with unique accent stitching near the bottom and a nipped waist design to help avoid that dreadful gapping you're probably familiar with if you have wider hips and a smaller waist.
Promising review: "I LOVE these pants! I have them in several colors. I personally find they run a bit large. I am usually between a 12 and 14 and was able to comfortably fit the 12. I am 5'6" and they hit right above my ankle, so a little longer than what's shown on the model. The accent stitching is really what makes these pants so special! Easily elevated a basic outfit." —CDStuart
Get them from Everlane for $98 (available in sizes 00–16, including regular and tall sizes, and nine total colors, including three denim shades).
22. 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).
23. Splurgeworthy jeans appropriately named The Secret Sauce, because they contain all the ingredients for the perfect pair of jeans: high-quality fabric that's soft and comfortable, with the perfect amount of stretch. If Goldilocks were to try these pants on, she'd say they're juuust right.
BTW, Ayr's denim is made in Los Angeles and designed with quality and longevity in mind.
Promising review: "I am not exaggerating when I say that EVERY time I wear these jeans I get compliments. They have a beautiful style. They are not slouchy looking at all. Fit more like a nice pair of slacks. I wear with flats and cashmere sweater. Modern fresh jeans look." —Kirsten L.
Get them from Ayr for $245 (available in sizes 24–34, including short and regular inseams, and five washes, including a slightly distressed option, plus a white style).
24. Trendy asymmetrical jeans with a unique twist on the typical denim waistline, sporting a crisscross look that'll have the compliments flooding in. Dress 'em down with casual sneakers or pull out the platform heels for a night out — either way, you'll be the coolest in the room.
Beginning Boutique is a woman-owned small biz based in Australia. They suggest sizing up if you want a baggier fit, but note that the denim will stretch from wear. They also fall on the longer side.
Promising review: "This denim is so soft and comfortable! The waist band is designed to fit a little looser around the waist, which makes it comfortable to sit in, and the criss-cross design of the band has already received so many compliments! The baggy fit around the legs giving big '90s vibe, a new winter staple!" —Anastasia B.
Get them from Beginning Boutique for $64.99 (available in sizes 0–18 and four colors).
25. Chesapeake studded slouchy jeans for adding a little bling to your denim — the cute stud detailing around the pockets and down the side will elevate even the most basic of outfits.
Get them from Reformation for $198 (available in sizes 23–33 and 11 other styles).
26. Embroidered bell-bottoms with cute vintage-y accents to keep things fun and fresh. With their real embroidery (not just a print), these'll look like a charming thrift store find instead of an Amazon dot com gem — shh, who needs to know?
Promising review: "I absolutely love jeans made with stretchy denim — easy to wear for all shapes and sizes. AND these jeans are unbelievably cute — such a refreshing change after the old skinny jean thing. Plus these have a retro 'groovy' nod to the '70s! On top of all that, my hubby says they make me look fab. Long live bell-bottoms!! I can't wait to stock up on more cool stuff from this seller. Don't wait — click on buy and get these jeans pronto!" —Cat P.
Get them from Amazon for $45.99 (available in sizes S–XXL).
27. Adaptive bootcut jeans designed for folks with specific needs, like people who use wheelchairs, wear leg braces, and more. They feature flat seams and a smooth, wide waistband to reduce friction, plus side zippers to make getting them on and off easier.
Promising reviews: "Finally!! Pants designed for wheelchair users at a very good price. I purchased four pairs because I love them so much. Soft denim, easy to pull-up jean. Long, hidden zippers on the bottom of each leg. Great length, which covers the ankles while seated in wheelchair. There are no back pockets or belt loops that might cause unnecessary rubbing. Great price. Please keep making these pants!!!" —KG
"These are amazing for those with abdominal-related disabilities as well. Works great in my chair, but also with my ostomy bag. Way more comfortable against my bag than traditional jeans, of which I haven’t worn in at least a year! My only complaint: Please, please make these in more colors." —ProudAdvocate
Get them from Target for $32 (available in sizes 00–18).
28. Mott & Bow slim boyfriend jeans with that classic, slightly worn look and a slimmer fit than your average boyfriend jeans. They're so comfy that even a self-described jeans hater is professing their love for this pair in the reviews.
Mott & Bow is a small business that specializes in ~denim science~ (aka their jeans are extremely good) — you can read more about their process here!
Promising reviews: "These are my favorite jeans. They fit perfectly. I did size down from my usual size 28 to a size 27 for my second pair. I actually love the fit and look of both with different shoes, shirts, etc. I find that while I have many, many pair of jeans, these are the ones I wear. The weight is heavier than some but not too heavy and wash beautifully. Perfect jeans in every way." —Elena D.
"I love these jeans. And I hate jeans. HATE them a lot. But I feel like everyone needs to get back to wearing real pants so I was hunting for good jeans that are COMFORTABLE. And these are so great and make me look super good. They are stiff and tight the first day. But then they are perfect. These are the only jeans I own. And I’m totally fine with that :)." —Ari G.
Get them from Mott & Bow for $129 (available in sizes 24–32, three inseams, and three washes).
