What’s not to love about a universal flare jean that feels as comfy as sweats and comes in an inclusive size range? That’s why these rank as our number one, proving to be one of the best flare jeans for curvy women, plus-sizes, long legs, and beyond. “Good American will always be one of my go-to brands for denim,” says Katie Sturino, founder of Megababe, author of Body Talk, and Body Acceptance Advocate. “These are long enough for us tall girls, super comfortable (which is always my number-one concern!), and best of all, available in extended sizing. Pair it with a coordinating denim button-down, and you have an easy yet super-chic outfit for all seasons.”
Glamour contributor Andrea Navarro loves them too, not solely for the comfortable fit but for their curve-enhancing abilities. “I’m a loyalist to higher-waisted straight-leg or baggy jeans, but Good American’s stretchy fabric can convince me to try anything once,” she says. “When I felt a little bold last fall, I snagged my first pair of flared jeans in a very long time after a friend told me these had a bit of a butt-lifting effect (listen, I’ll take that any time). These are just about mid-rise and have the same if not more stretch that I love so much from GA. My favorite thing about them is that they don’t create that weird gap in the back when I sit down that many other jeans do, so I can wear these with a formfitting bodysuit or crop top and not worry about anything. Now, at 5’4 “, these are still a little long on me, so I only wear them with heels higher than four inches—otherwise, they’d be dragging on the ground.”
