Show off those beautiful curves, ladies!
Finding a pair of jeans that fits you the way YOU want them to is *especially* difficult for those of us with curvier backsides. The culprit? The waist gap — ya know, that feeling when a pair of jeans fits our butt perfectly but not our waist…or vice versa, leaving us resigned to the fact that jeans will fit one or the other but never both. I guess it’s a good thing we have a tailor…right?
NO!! It doesn’t have to be this hard. Say it with us now…IT DOES NOT HAVE TO BE THIS HARD.
Below, we’ve rounded up our list of the best jeans for big butts.
What to look for
Before we dive into the specifics – here’s what you should be looking for to find *the perfect pair* for your bod.
- Between 2-6% of stretch denim material (e.g., lycra, spandex) – As the name suggests, stretch jeans will mold and stretch to your body, but you don’t want TOOOO much stretch, otherwise you’ll end up with a baggy fit at the end of the day.
- Designated curvy jeans – Extra room in the back, the perfect amount of stretch material, and contoured waistbands.
- A few (but not all) plus-size cuts – Telling a woman with a bigger backside to “just go for a plus-size cut!” may sometimes be the right piece of advice, but it’s important to acknowledge that bigger backsides don’t always mean plus-size.
- High-rise jeans – Rather than mid-rise or low-rise.
7 Best Jeans For Big Butts
Because you deserve to feel comfortable AND confident in your jeans (and to show off that booty!).
Co-founded by Khloé Kardashian, Good American has innovated since day one with size inclusive jeans that span 00 to 24. Also, every product is shown on two size ranges of models to make it that much easier to find your perfect fit and help you feel the most at home in your body. These, which come in a sleek black color, have a gap-proof waistband and are made with 5% spandex for the perfect amount of stretch.

- Inseam: 29” (regular) and 35” (long)
- Rise: 10”
- Leg Opening: 10”

- Price (when blog was published): $129.00

Levi’s crafts these curvy, high-rise skinny jeans with a unique sculpting blend of cotton and hyper-stretchy material — with perfectly placed back pockets to boot.

- Inseam: 28” (short) and 30” (long)
- Rise: 11.25”

For a more relaxed fit (that’s not, ya know, leggings or jeggings), it doesn’t get much better than wide leg jeans. Although they’re, by definition, a bit slouchy (and thus roomier in the back!), that doesn’t mean they’re not sleek. In fact, more and more brands are designing wide leg jeans to fit the baggy jeans trend. We love styling these with a graphic T-shirt for a go-to street style look.
- Size Range: 00 to 24W
- Inseam: 32”
- Rise: 11.75”
- Leg Opening: 17.75”
- Material: Cotton, lyocell
- Price (when blog was published): $155.00
Can’t go wrong with a classic pair of high-waisted bootcut, especially when they’re made with cotton, polyester, and stretch-friendly elastane.
- Size Range: 2 to 18
- Inseam: 30.5” (short), 32.5” (regular), and 34.5” (long)
- Material: Cotton, polyester, elastane
- Price (when blog was published): $24.99
This pair is high-waisted, ultra-flattering, AND curvy fit (so it’s made to fit your figure). We’re obsessed.
