The wide-leg jean has always been a difficult one to find. Brands often assume that because we're plus size, we want only skinny-fit jeans, which, of course, is wrong. We, like anyone, love the variety and the option of a slouchy wide leg, like the Carrie by Universal Standard.
Also known as the cool-girl jean (at least, in my opinion), the slim straight-leg jean has a little slouch; and as they're designed to hug your curves, Violeta has created the perfect everyday pair.
I know jeans with bold patterns can be quite scary, but these '70s-inspired boot-cut jeans from the Zendaya x Tommy Hilfiger collection are probably the chicest patterned jean I've ever seen. It could have something to do with the emphasized boot-cut silhouette, but either way, these should be an immediate addition to your wardrobe.
Looking for something a little different but not quite ready to commit to a bold color or pattern? The stitching on these '90s-inspired jeans from Warp + Weft is what you've been looking for. They feel a little industrious and, like you, should be walking the streets of London in the '90s, paired with some Dr. Martens and suspenders. Any way you style them, these edgy jeans are bound to lead to a slew of compliments.
The frayed-hem jean, believe it or not, was a style that just one or two years ago you would have struggled to find in a plus size. Now, you can find this classic style at all your favorite denim go-tos. This Good American pair, however, is a personal favorite.
Do you ever see something and just instantly get all the feels? Well, that's what happened when I came across these Idrovoro High Waist Step Hem Super Stretch Denim Jeans from Marina Rinaldi. Between the slightly frayed hem, the asymmetrical leg detail, and, of course, the faded complexion, the cool-girl vibes are very strong.
Blue, black, gray, and white: some of the colors we typically associate with jeans. But a select number of retailers, including ASOS, have started to roll out colorful styles, which means we officially now have bolder and more vibrant options.
Feeling brave and fairly sure that spaghetti Bolognese isn't in your immediate future? Then give these sculpting jeans from DL1961 a try. White jeans aren't for everyone, I know, but if you're open to new things, this pair won't disappoint.
Good American launched in 2016 and quite honestly revolutionized the denim industry with its inclusive size offering and genuinely cool styles. In some ways, I feel like a lot of brands took note and felt nudged to expand their sizing too. This high-waisted, ripped-jean style is equal parts sultry and stylish.
pair of jeans. These high-rise skinny jeans are a staple for every wardrobe, and because of their transitional nature, they're perfect anytime of the year.
