Unless you’re starring in the ’00s feel-good film Sisterhood of the Traveling Pants, searching for the perfect pair of jeans isn’t a picture-perfect experience. As a size 16, I know the struggle all too well. If you’re curvy or plus-size, finding the best places to shop when the industry still falls short in terms of size inclusivity is a struggle.

It’s no surprise that finding a pair of jeans that fits can feel downright insufferable (much less finding a pair that you and your best friends can wear), which is why we decided to round up the best plus-size jeans all in one place. Below, shop the best plus-size jeans that have glowing reviews across the internet. You can thank me later!

Madewell

Madewell is personally one of my favorite brands when it comes to plus-size denim. The brand offers most of its best-selling styles, like the Perfect Vintage Wide-Leg silhouette or the '90s Straight Jeans in extended sizing, going from a 14W to a 24W.

H&M

If you're looking for trendy plus-size jeans, H&M should be the first stop on your shopping trip. The retailer has ultra-affordable, yet fresh denim styles up for grabs in extended sizing, most of which go up to an 18, with some styles going up to a 24. You'll be able to snag pieces like plus-size leopard-print jeans or plus-size barrell jeans at a fraction of the cost compared to some other brands.

Good American

Good American was created in 2016 by Khloé Kardashian and Emma Grede and focuses on high-quality, simple denim that's meant to fit almost everyone. In terms of extended sizing, the line ranges from a women's 14 to a 32, with a few styles coming in the brand's universally flattering Always Fits line that's meant to grow and shape with you should you become a bigger size or smaller size.

Aligne

While this British brand is best known for its sharp tailoring and swoon-worthy hero coats and blazers, you shouldn't count out its denim. Aligne's trend-forward plus-size jeans are heavy, well-constructed, and worth the higher price tag. I own about three pairs myself and I've convinced a few of my friends to follow suit and buy into this brand. The largest size it carries is a 40-waist, which is the equivalent of a US 20/22.

Abercrombie & Fitch

Abercrombie & Fitch's rebrand has been nothing short of miraculous over the last few years, with the brand prioritizing universally flattering and inclusive clothing that fits everyone. The label's jeans are an ultimate highlight of the brand, with each review on social media convincing me I need to buy every single pair. Most styles come in up to a 36, with a few other classic pieces being offered in a 38. Its Curve Love line is also a highlight, with a cut that helps those with wider hips find a cut and shape that works for them.
