Our favorite sculpting, tummy control panel jeans from NYDJ, Levi’s Style & Co, and more.
Before we dive into the jeans, let’s address the elephant in the room…everyone (and we mean, everyone) has a tummy…which is so, 100% normal and how it should be. Don’t be fooled by sly camera angles or filters! And can we stop calling it a “muffin top” and instead focus on all the things our healthy, curvy bodies — tummies and all — allow us to do? Next time you find yourself doubting, judging, or criticizing yourself, remember that your body is for LIVING, not for lookin’ at.
All of this is to say that nobody needs tummy-control jeans…at all. But if this cut—which is designed with built-in waistline panels for a smoother silhouette—will help you feel more confident and beautiful in your body, then we’re all for it.
Below, we’ve rounded up our 10 favorites for all body types.

When we heard that Levi’s — arguably one of the most classic jean brands out there — came out with tummy-slimming jeans that, BTW, use a lot less water to manufacture, we were intrigued.
