19 best plus-size jeans for 2025, according to a plus size model

“Let’s go shopping for plus size jeans,” is a statement which used to give me absolute nightmares. Being a plus-size girlie with a small waist and much larger hip, finding the best jeans for women that actually fit and don't leave that huge gap above my bum (that even a belt can’t hold together) isn’t the easiest task at hand.

Skinny jeans with a lot of stretch used to be my go to, because they moulded to my curves, but to be totally transparent, that was also the only real jean style that I could fit to fit my shape during most of my teens.

Sometimes I wanted that tighter skinny fit with a bodysuit underneath, but sometimes I just wanted a casual baggy jean with an oversized white shirt. I used to think that feeling confident in jeans meant that it had to be a style that was sculpted to my silhouette, but now I know it's whatever you feel comfortable in.

I’m so happy that, this year, I’ve been able to find so many different cuts and shapes of denim for our plus-size bodies. We’ve had designers such as Sinead O'Dwyer use denim on their runways both in Copenhagen and London Fashion Week, with more sculpted and tailored denim pieces reworked into her signature silhouette style – something I haven't seen created for curvier bodies before.

Stiff, structured denim, 90s wide fits, restrictive waistbands, and generic silhouettes have meant that options have fallen short on what's available for curvy women in the past – but it doesn’t have to be this way anymore, we have so many more options, as we deserve.

If a small independent powerhouse designer like O’Dwyer can make our sizes in denim, the high street has zero excuses not to include us. So here at GLAMOUR we have curated the ultimate edit of the best plus size jeans with great size ranges to help plus-size women find high-quality denim that makes them feel their very best. Shopping for plus size jeans (or any size jeans, for that matter) is no-one’s favourite past-time.
