Finding the perfect pair of jeans is a difficult task. All bodies are unique and vary drastically in shape and proportion, and what works for one person may be totally unflattering on the other. Meaning, you can’t always take your bestie’s recommendation on her favorite denim.
Shopping for plus-size jeans is especially tricky because with many trendy styles and buzzy brands, inclusive sizes are often forgotten. Not to mention, the quality is never apples to apples with the “standard” sizes. Though the fashion industry has come a long way in the past few years, there are still fewer options for plus-size gals, especially when shopping in-store.
But don’t be discouraged! Finding a flattering pair of denim (maybe even a few) isn’t impossible—you just need to know what to look for. Whether you prefer a relaxed wide-leg fit or a more tailored style, jeans are a staple in most wardrobes, so getting a pair that fits just right is key. We spoke with model and size-inclusivity expert Taylor Long to get into the nitty gritty of denim shopping so your next trip to the mall can be as seamless as possible—read on for her pro-tips and recommendations!
