The 9 Best Jeans For Women With Wide Hips in 2024

After chatting with multiple stylists, one thing was clear: Good American denim is a force to be reckoned with. For those with fuller thighs, the Good Waist collection functions like a waist trainer but wears like a normal pair of jeans. The specially designed waistband cinches around your middle without annoying gapping in the back. For celebrity stylist Kat Eves, Good American has become a go-to when dressing her clients. “I love that you can choose which size model you want to see when you shop on the website,” she says. “I wish more brands understood how important this is to their success in selling to plus size customers, and really, anyone who is above a size 6!”

According to Brooklyn-based celebrity stylist, Joiee Thorpe, H&M Conscious Denim is a hidden gem for jeans. Available in six washes, including dark gray and white denim, these wide leg pants deliver a laid back feel. Thorpe suggests styling with a blazer and bra top to spice things up or an oversized sweatshirt for something more casual. While we love their effortless look, these jeans have a longer inseam (around 30 inches), so petite ladies may have to get them hemmed.

Dreamt up in Los Angeles, the stylish yet simple denim brand was inspired by giving new life to luxury, heritage brands. Initially, they repurposed classic men’s Levi’s into more modern fits. Their first drop was so popular that it sold out almost immediately, and the brand was born. A favorite of editors and stylists alike, Thorpe recommends Re/Done for their cinched waists and smoothing, structured denim. While not every style will work for wide hips, this ’70s inspired high rise offers a little more room wrapped into a classic fit that is made to last.

For jeans, the higher the rise usually equals a better fit. We love high-rise cuts for their waist cinching abilities, but mid-rise are the secret weapon of the denim world. The waistline is designed to flatten and the fabric is made to sculpt. Not to mention, it works with just about every top. Made with a higher percentage of stretch than most of Levi’s other styles, this jean is designed to love your curves. Available in four lengths and five washes, this option has something for everyone.

Flares can sometimes intimidate those with thick thighs, but our stylists love how they can elongate legs when properly fitted. For Eves, Warp and Weft is her go-to for flares, especially this specific style which she owns herself. “If you have thick thighs and calves, you may struggle to find vintage-style flares that bell out at the right spot,” she says. “The Mia High-Rise hit just right, though: No saggy bottoms here! With minimal stretch but still comfortable wear, these jeans maintain their shape over time, too.”

Abercrombie has made a comeback. Chances are you’ve seen this pair pop up on your favorite style blogger’s Instagram feed. Sure, the criss-cross waist creates an hourglass effect and the built-in stretch adds extra comfort, but the extra two inches through the hip and thigh is the real star. But don’t just take my word for it — New York City-based stylist Audree Lopez swears by Abercrombie’s Curve Love line. “It is good quality for a more affordable price point,” she says, “but my favorite call out is that they have length options ranging from extra short to extra long which is great for all heights.”

NYDJ stands for Not Your Daughter’s Jeans, meaning they aren’t ripped, rigid, or risque. These jeans are so stretchy they almost feel like leggings, but, unlike leggings, they have both a zipper and pockets. Lopez recommends these for a no frills, everyday pair of pants. Comfortability aside, we do wish there were more washes available as there’s currently only a light, dark, and a cream color on the site.

What if there was a pair of jeans out there that fit your body perfectly, didn’t require sizing, and had a positive impact on the environment? Too good to be true? Not anymore. Instead of keeping warehouses full of inventory, Unspun makes every pair of jeans to order to eliminate excess waste. Eves calls Unspun “the future of denim.” The process is simple. Download their app, take a video of your full body, submit your measurements, choose your style, and then wait for your pair to arrive. This customization ensures a perfect fit even if you are wider in the hips.

Another one of Lopez and Thorpe’s faves, this hip hugging style works with your curves instead of against them. The stretchy denim minimizes gapping, but holds its own enough to avoid the post-snack slump. With a couple extra inches built into the hips, your glutes get enough give. Bonus: This pair is made with recycled materials as well as less water than other jeans.
