FIND YOUR FIT: A GUIDE TO PLUS SIZE CLOTHING JEANS
Flaunt your style in a fabulous pair of plus size jeans! From work to weekend, casual brunch to dressier events, your wardrobe isn’t complete without a good pair of jeans.
The good news is that great denim has nothing to do with your size, shape or height; it's all about finding the right fit!
If you've struggled to find jeans that feel comfortable and easy to wear, we’re here to share our tips and tricks that will have you falling in love with denim all over again.
How to Find Plus Size Jeans that Fit Perfectly
Finding your perfect pair of jeans is easy. Simply follow a few tips to find the fit that will make you feel fabulous, comfortable and confident!
From the waist to the length of the bottom hem, it’s all about paying attention to the details.
When you try on a pair of jeans, see how they fit around the hips, thighs, and waist. Your ideal pair should gently hug your curves across all three while staying comfortable.
Then there’s rise to consider. High-rise and high-waisted jeans are perfect for creating a defined waistline, giving the illusion of longer legs.
Mid-rise jeans sit comfortably around the waist and are great for a relaxed look.
Don’t forget the length! While tailoring your jeans to a specific length can make you look taller, most people find it easier to wear jeans that end around the ankles.
Crop jeans are perfect for a more relaxed look.
Of course, whichever rise you choose, don’t forget to think about whether you want a stretch elastic waistband for flexibility, a button waist and zip fly for that classic denim look or a stretch waistband with mock fly for the best of both worlds!
How to Find Your Ideal Leg Shape
Great denim isn’t about fitting into a one-size-fits-all box; it’s about how it fits you and makes you feel. Luckily, you have plenty of shapes, cuts and washes to choose from.
From classic straight leg jeans to modern wide leg and barrel silhouettes, find the ideal leg shape that works for your body and your life.
The Jegging
For a slim fit with plenty of stretch and comfort, jeggings are your answer. Made from super-stretchy fabric with that signature skinny fit, these plus size jeggings deliver the comfort of leggings with the style of jeans.
The Straight Leg
If you’re after plus size straight leg jeans that just work, this is the pair to reach for. The straight leg cut creates an easy, balanced shape that works across multiple outfits.
The Luxe Looker Jean
For the straight leg, classic silhouette with extra stretch and support, the Luxe Looker is your answer. Made to hug your curves seamlessly, these jeans are crafted from a soft, stretch cotton blend and designed with a mesh front panel for added support.
The Easy Fit
If you’re looking for a relaxed boyfriend fit for easy, everyday wear, the Easy Fit denim jeans are the perfect combination of comfort and style. Relaxed yet flattering, they’re an incredibly versatile addition to any wardrobe.
The Jogger & Chino
For something laidback yet polished, turn to lightweight denim joggers and chino pants. Combining the ease of denim and a relaxed, tapered fit, they’re perfect for a weekend catch up or an elevated travel look.
The Barrel Leg
This on trend style is actually extra-flattering for plus size. Designed for comfort through the hip and thigh, plus size barrel leg jeans offer more room through the leg while creating an effortlessly modern yet balanced silhouette.
The Wide Leg Jean
Wide leg jeans are another style that works well for plus size curves. Designed to put comfort, movement and style first, a pair of plus size wide leg jeans will bring a structured, elevated touch to any outfit.
The Travel Jean
For a flattering, stretchy style that skims the hips and flares in the lower leg, look no further. These plus size high waisted jeans combine a higher rise with a wide leg silhouette and extra stretch, and work a treat when paired with shorter, more fitted tops.
Dress up your denim and make it your own with accessories! Our tip: scarves are a key look this season. Tie one around your waist through the belt loops, or wear it around your neck to add a splash of colour to your look.
Don’t forget to match your denim wash to the occasion. Pick a lighter wash for a more relaxed, casual feel, or choose a darker wash for a more polished or dressy occasion.
Play with proportion and length to create balance in your outfit. Slim jeggings or straight leg jeans are perfect for wearing with longer tops, tunics and cardigans. Plus size wide leg jeans styles go well with shorter tops or a tucked-in blouse.
Length is important, too! If you’re 5'2" or 158cm or under, try our Petite Plus range of jeans designed to fit and flatter a petite silhouette. Taller ladies will love our Tall Plus range, designed to offer a better fit and proportions for women under 6'1" or 185cm.
How to Care for Your Denim
Keep your jeans looking fresh with a few easy steps.
1. Wash less, wear more: no need to wash your denim after every wear. Help your plus size clothing jeans keep their colour and shape longer with fewer washes. Simply spot wash with a drop of detergent if you need to!
2. Use a gentle wash only, with a cold cycle: this protects the fibres and stretch, helping the garment maintain its fit, comfort, and overall quality wear after wear.
3. Wash inside out: turn your jeans or denim inside out to help protect the surface. This reduces fading and keeps the finish looking polished and fresh!
4. Air dry, always: this helps denim hold its shape and fit. Avoid heat from dryers, as it can damage fibres, reduce stretch, and even change how the garment fits.
If in doubt, read the label! Each denim fabric is unique. Some styles may have more cotton, while others have more stretch. Follow the care instructions to keep your jeans looking fabulous for as long as possible!
