I Didn't Know Butt-Lifting Jeans Were a Thing, But These Have Legit Reviews
As much as we love The Sisterhood of the Traveling Pants, the truth is not all jeans are created equal. In fact, some of the best jeans brands have made it their mission to rise above the rest—literally.
Wit & Wisdom, a SoCal-born denim brand sold exclusively at Nordstrom, touts its Ab'solution Denim with Fit Technology. This special design process ensures that any style or size of jeans is super comfortable, fits properly, and enhances a person's natural curves. That's right: These jeans provide an instant butt-lift.
Other notable brands in the "My Butt Looks Great" hall of fame include AG Jeans, Madewell, and Everlane, which have made it onto several lists for the most flattering jeans and best sculpting jeans.
Shop 10 butt-lifting jeans below complete with customer reviews to help you find your best fit. And just in case hard pants aren't the mood, here are the best butt-lifting leggings curated by our editors.
Wit & Wisdom's Butt-Lifting Jeans
Review: "These jeans fit so well and are sooo comfortable and so, so flattering. Mid-rise, tummy support but not squeezing my guts out! A little bit of a butt-lift. The dark wash is slimming and sophisticated." — Nordstrom customer
Review: "Wit & Wisdom is my favorite jeans brand, and I like the length of these. They look great with booties, ankle strap sandals, sneakers, etc. They will also be easy to tuck into tall boots in the winter. The waistband of these is amazing with the 'ab-solution' fit. The jeans are very stretchy and flattering. My waist is 29 and my hips are 37, and I fit into a size 4 in these." — Nordstrom customer
Review: "The fit and fabric on these are great. Have been wearing them on repeat since they arrived." — Nordstrom customer
Review: "I love these relaxed girlfriend jeans…just be aware that going one size lower than your normal may still not be enough. I love the jean material, the slight distressing, and the straight leg. Wit & Wisdom is my new favorite brand!" — Nordstrom customer

Review: "The pant is a perfect combination of soft, snug, stretch and strength. The color is fabulous and it’s awesome that a flare bottom is not a mile long." — Nordstrom customer
Review: "Love these jeans! They make your butt look great and fit nicely. Perfect for my skinnier legs/small rear." — Everlane customer
Review: "I have been on the search for literally months to find petite pants. The length on these is actually perfect and I love the curvy fit too! Finally, pants that hit at my actual waist!! Will be ordering in every color." — Everlane customer
Review: "I can never find jeans that fit, I'm so happy Madewell started this Curvy line. These fit perfectly through the waist and hip, for once I've solved the dilemma of 'the pants.'" — Madewell customer
Review: "It’s literally so hard to find a good pair of jeans, especially being a plus-size woman. They’re so cute and comfy, I get compliments on them all the time! I got an 18 but should have got a 16 so that’s my bad but even in a size too big I can’t stop wearing them! They make every outfit better I am in love." — Madewell customer
Review: "A great pair of go-to jeans. Slimming and a good fit even for those of us with hips! I usually wear a 12 but the 10-12 size worked fine." — Madewell customer
