The average woman’s size in America is a 12/14. It’s been a while since I’ve taken a statistics class, but I’m pretty sure that indicates that around half of the female population is above that mark. So it only makes sense that with every denim post that I’ve written, I’ve gotten hundreds of emails and comments requesting tips on how to find great jeans for those in plus sizes.

Sadly enough, most denim designers blatantly ignore any semblance of fashion in plus sizes. The pocket placement is typically wrong, the styles are insultingly dated, the material is often cheap.

So I set out on a two month research journey with the help of four fabulous volunteers.  We visited half a dozen stores and used my own denim stash, tried on every pair of jeans in every store, and photographed them all.  I spent approximately 30 hours gathering, analyzing, and summarizing our findings.

We discovered that it may take some digging and a lot of dressing room action, but there are a few good pairs to be found.  My hope is that this project will help many women feel great relief that their problem may be their jeans, not their body.

Here’s a sample of our results, with more details to follow:

Subject A is a size 18.  She is petite, and expressed to me that “If I found jeans that fit, I was thankful for that and bought them.  I never even looked at the back, because I didn’t really think I had earned a good-looking butt.”  I am happy to say that she now feels differently:

It can be hard to find plus-size jeans, and even harder to find cute plus-size jeans that actually fit right! Here are few sites we recommend for buying women's denim in plus sizes:   

Search By Inseam is great because the site allows you to search multiple sellers at once, saving you time and money. You can select your exact inseam length, favorite brands and rise, and/or price range, and easily compare the results. Inseams typically range from 24 inches to 37 inches. New brands and styles are being added all the time, and you can sign up for notifications when a  new pair of jeans is added to the site that fits your specific criteria.

Old Navy now sells plus sizes online exclusively. You can find stylish styles in size 16-30 for around $30. Inseams come in 30, 32, and 34 inches. Shipping is free when you spend over $50, and returns are free to any Old Navy store.    

Avenue.com sells the popular tummy control jeans and several different brands. Sizes range from 14-32, and inseams are often from 28 to 35 inches.
  
Alloy.com is another one for tall plus-size women to check out because they offer 35 and 37 inch inseams, as well as the normal 30, 32, and 33 inch inseams. It's a teeny-bopper site, so prices are low and trendiness is high. Sizes go up to 25.  

NORDSTROM.com has their Plus-Size Shop with some great denim brands such as Jessica Simpson, Anne Klein, Jones New York, Karen Kane, Lauren by Ralph Lauren, MICHAEL Michael Kors, Nine West, Not Your Daughter's Jeans, Paige Denim, and more.

dELiA*s is another teen-centered site where the jeans are inexpensive. Their largest size is a 19/20, and inseams run from 26 to 37 inches.
