James Jeans Neo Beau Z (Plus)
These classic boyfriend jeans from the James Jeans brand deliver the weekend vibe of a vintage wash and distressed details, in a modern jeans construction. Comfortably relaxed through thighs to hems, the Neo Beau Z is crafted in a soft denim fabric that’s easy to wear. With a 29″ inseam, these jeans make attractive cropped jeans with clean hems. Or roll the cuffs for a trendy look. You’ll also appreciate the high rise in the back, which — along with perfectly placed back pockets — helps to lift the look of your rear end.

This jean features a slim leg opening that works with any heel height and a classic five-pocket, zip-fly design.

Levi’s 512 Perfectly Shaping Boot Cut Jeans (Plus Size)
Levi‘s Shaping series of jeans are designed to help streamline a larger figure while offering a modern style. Smart features, including a secret tummy-shaping panel, a high amount of elastane for stretch, and careful back pocket placement work together to create an all-over smoothing effect on curves. The bootcut design works well to balance a wider behind and hips, while a high mid-rise in front contains a bigger tummy.
This pair of jeans is available in blue, but we like them best in slimming black.
Sizes: Up to 24
Try Wearing Them With: A long tailored blazer and a simple top.
Silver Jeans Suki Mid-Rise Bootcut Jean (Plus Size)

We love how the touch of flare and contrast stitching of these jeans make it right on-trend for this spring’s love affair with 70s denim. These comfortable, stretchy denim jeans feature a flattering overall fit and a mid-rise waistband to help you avoid muffin-top issues. The Suki is part of the Curvy Fit category, ideal for women with accentuated curves, or a well-defined waist to hip ratio and a naturally curvy feminine build.
Available both in dark indigo and a lighter, vintage-inspired wash.
Sizes: Up to 24
Try Wearing Them With: A flowered blouse and big sunglasses.
Lane Bryant Genius Fit Distressed Straight Leg Jean (Plus Size)
Many plus-sized women shop Lane Bryant for jeans, having discovered the brand’s commitment to denim fits that flatter real bodies. Their clever Genius Fit denim line features super-stretch denim technology that conforms to your shape, smooths curves, and offers great flexibility. We love these particular plus-size straight-leg jean for their cool, distressed details and the way it makes a boxy shape look feminine while offering more flattery than a skinnier leg shape.

MICHAEL Michael Kors Jet Set Denim Leggings (Plus Size)
These soft, stretchy denim leggings from the MICHAEL Michael Kors brand are designed to flatter a plus-size figure.
