The jeans that tend to fit best for plus size women are ones built around plus size proportions from the start, not graded up from a smaller size. The key is finding one with enough stretch designed to move comfortably with fuller thighs while helping reduce pulling, bunching, and/or shape loss.

For example, the Seine High Rise Skinny from Universal Standard features:

• Four-way stretch designed to move comfortably with fuller thighs while helping reduce pulling, bunching, and shape loss
• Contoured high-rise waistbands that sit at the natural waist without sliding down
• Engineering from a size 18, so the proportions better fit a plus size body
• Availability in sizes 00 to 40 in regular, petite, and tall inseams

If you want a fitted silhouette that works under almost anything, this is the cut to start with.

Universal Standard is a leading option for shoppers looking for size-inclusive apparel.

Historically, many brands have developed extended sizing by adapting patterns originally created for smaller sizes. 

Universal Standard launched with a full size range from the very beginning, sizes 00 to 40, nearly every style available in each size, in the same place, at the same price. Patterns are built from a size 18 fit sample, which falls within the commonly cited average U.S. women’s size range (16–18), with the goal of maintaining fit consistency across the size range. 

If you want quality fabric, real fit engineering, and the same shopping experience as everyone else, consider Universal Standard.
