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.
10 Best Jeans For Tummy Control
Take a look at our favorite jeans (that will also keep your midsection secure and comfy all day long)!
Made with a machine washable mix of cotton and elastane, these dark-wash jeans are designed with Lift Tuck® Technology to perfectly shape, smooth, and sculpt. Pair with a chunky sweater or tucked-in T for a look that’s simultaneously sophisticated yet laid-back.
If you’re looking for a pair of jeans that will keep your midsection secure, you’ll love these from Democracy. They use ab solution technology (including an elastic waistband, mesh panels, and strategically placed seams) to sculpt your body and make sure you feel comfy and confident.
NYDJ comin’ in hot yet AGAIN with a sleek pair of white, high-waisted jeans that have comfy shapewear technology. Dress it down with an oversized crew-neck and combat boots, or spice things up with a v-neck silk blouse. You can’t go wrong with this high-rise look.
Looking for a way to make the whole jean shopping process WAY easier?
That’s where Revelle comes in. When you join — which, BTW, doesn’t cost you anything — we’ll ask you a few questions about your beautiful body. From there, we work our magic (and by magic, we mean technology) to build your personal store. As you like (heart) and dislike (broken heart) jeans, we’ll get to know your tastes, preferences, and style even better so you can find your perfect pair.
These part-cotton, part-spandex jeans have summer written ALL over them, and we’re so here for it. They’re mid-rise and cut off mid-calf, and with seven colors to choose from (pink! ivy! berry! jade! black! white! cream!), there’s a pair for everyone.
If you combine the sleek look of jeans with the pull-on, stretchy comfort of leggings, this is what you get. This pair of Spanx jeggings has an elastic waistband with a tummy control panel. Plus, it doesn’t have any zippers or buttons for ultimate comfort.
Behold the underrated slim fit cut, which is a tad less tight than skinny jeans but no less chic. While they won’t feel like a second skin hugging your body, they’ll still be form-fitting around your legs and hips — and, when constructed with a front panel, lend a slimming effect that some may be looking for.
BTW, slim fit are *essentially* the same thing as bootcut jeans, which earned its name when cowboys (circa 1850ish) needed pants that’d allow them to ride horses with enough calf space to fit their boots.
Same high-quality stretch denim and machine washable versatility as above, but for our plus friends!
This trendy pair from INC is mid-rise and has a slim fit through the hips and thighs. It has a 32” inseam and the cuffs can be unrolled to fit whatever style you like!
You can also find tummy-control technology in bootcut, subtle-flare jeans. We’re big fans of the jeans-with-heels look.
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. These skinny ankle jeans have a slight ankle opening and a classic zipper-button closure that would look fab with a tucked-in flannel or chambray. It’s the perfect fit, hands-down.
