![]() ![]() You’ll get the best fit by comparing your measurements to those on any brand’s size chart - which creative digital strategist Samantha O’Brochta says you should always double-check before adding any jeans to your cart. Sole-Smith says you’re better off completely ignoring the traditional sizing system in favor of knowing the measurements of your hips, waist, and inseam. ![]() But those aren’t actually the numbers to pay the most attention to. The pairs recommended here range from around size 14 to as high as size 40. To help, we asked cool women - including models, fashion bloggers, designers, and influencers - about the plus-size jeans they wear. And she should know: Sole-Smith tried on over 60 pairs of plus-size jeans for a series called “ Jeans Science.” Her takeaway? There’s no one-size-fits-all “unicorn.” However, that’s not to say that your new favorite pair isn’t out there - you just need to know where to look. “The vast majority of brands adding plus sizes are just sizing up from their straight sizes and having that same design team (made up of mostly thin people) expand things,” says Virginia Sole-Smith, author of the newsletter Burnt Toast. Though there are ostensibly more to try on now, there’s still a long way to go in terms of fit. “It’s rare for plus-size women to have a favorite pair of jeans, that only started happening in the last few years,” explains model and digital creator Essie Golden. Up until very recently, many jeans on the market didn’t come in plus sizes at all.
