Learn all about the best plus size jeans that you should know about this Fall.
Buying jeans can be really hard. If you are plus size, you know the struggle of trying to find jeans that look and feel good.
Jeans are such a staple item so it’s important to find an option that works for you. In this post, I’ll cover plus size straight-leg jeans, skinny jeans, and black jeans in a variety of price points from retailers like Old Navy, Abercrombie, Madewell, Universal Standard and Target. I ordered over 30 pairs of jeans to try and these are the top 10.
For reference, I’m normally a size 22 in jeans and I’m quite tall at 5’10”. For each pair of jeans, I’ll share how they fit me so you can make the best guess on your size.
This post is all about the 10 best plus-size jeans you need to know for this Fall.

Old Navy Extra High Rise Sky High Straight
These jeans are so good! These are probably my overall favorite because I love the fit around my waist, the feeling of the denim, and the raw hemline. These fit true to size and I’m in a size 22.
Old Navy O.G. Straight Ankle Jeans
These are such a classic pair of jeans. They fit really comfortably and have a really nice structured denim feeling. These are ankle-length so they are a bit short on me but I still really like them (and may just exchange for a long!) These jeans feel like a dupe for the Abercrombie Curve Love Mom Jeans. These jeans fit true to size and I’m wearing a 22.
Target High-Rise Slim Straight Crops
Talk about a comfy pair of jeans! These jeans are really stretchy, making them run a bit large. I would recommend sizing down one (or maybe two) sizes for the best fit. I tried a 22 but will exchange for a 20.
The Abercrombie 90s Straight Leg jeans have a cult following and now I know why. These jeans fit like an absolute glove. This pair has large rips in the knee that actually fit exactly at my knees. These fit true to size and I’m in a 36 Regular.

Abercrombie Curve Love The Mom Jean
The Abercrombie Curve Love Mom Jeans are such a classic. I love that these don’t have any distressing and they fit really well over my hips and thighs. I do wish the rise was a bit higher and the length was a bit longer (but I’m really tall!). The fit of these is so good and fits true to size.

Before this year, I hadn’t tried Madewell jeans and I’m not sure what I was waiting for! I love the denim feeling of these jeans. They don’t have a ton of stretch, either so they stay very structured feeling. After learning more, I think the curvy fit would be even better on me because they are a bit more tailored in the waist with more room in the hips and thighs. Shop those here. These jeans fit true to size and I’m wearing a size 36.
Universal Standard Stevie Jeans
Universal Standard is one of my favorite plus size brands – all of their pieces are so high quality and come in sizes 00-40! These jeans are really comfortable and a more unique style. I am wearing a size 22 and they fit true to size.

If you need one pair of jeans this year but have a very small budget, these are the jeans for you! My sister got a pair of these for less than $20! These jeans are quite fitted so if you want a bit of a looser appearance I would size up. I am in a size 22 but could wear a 24.
Universal Standard Siene Jeans
Universal Standard strikes again with these Siene jeans. These are so comfortable and so stretchy. These also have a great length so would be awesome for taller girls. I have these in the distressed blue color and I am wearing a size 22. These fit true to size.
Abercrombie Super Skinny Jeans
Abercrombie Super Skinny Jeans are another great option. These have a really soft feeling and fit curves really well. I tried these on in a size 36 and 37 and didn’t notice a big difference so I would stick with your normal size or potentially size up.

Once again, I was really impressed with Madewell! These jeans are really flattering and have a really nice front panel that has a bit of compression (meaning your stomach looks a bit more smoothed out in these jeans!) If you are a bit self-conscious about your tummy area, these might be a great option for you! I will say that these jeans are fairly short on me. I like them so much though, that I’m keeping them and calling it a crop! I’m wearing these in a 36 and they are perfect – I would say these fit true to size.
Target High-Rise Slim Straight Crops
I’ve already mentioned these jeans but the color of these jeans is making me mention them again. These jeans have the cutest faded black color that looks really expensive… but these jeans are less than $30! These jeans have a raw hemline and are very stretchy. I would suggest sizing down one or two sizes in these – I’m wearing a size 24 and need a size 20.
If you need a pair of jeans that you can easily dress up for different occasions, then these jeans are for you! These Abercrombie Skinny jeans have a flat black color and no distressing so they are perfect for wearing to a casual workplace.
