For most of us, jeans are an essential wardrobe item that can be worn for nearly every occasion. But sometimes, their overly stiff construction and rigid denim material aren’t the most comfortable or flattering for every body type. Spanx is a brand best known for creating shapewear undergarments that strategically slim and lift targeted areas of the body like the tummy, waist and thighs. Now, the company has created a collection of jeans infused with this same body-shaping technology using material that’s more flexible and legging-like compared to your traditional denim.The denim line is broken into three “strengths,” both made from Spanx’s specially developed fabric that offers a Lycra-infused stretch and compression for a sculpting effect. You’ll find medium-compression denim in the “EveryWear” collection while the “ReDefine” collection offers stronger sculpting power, lifting the booty and lengthening the appearance of the legs. The “Authentic360” line has wraparound compression to shape the waist, hips and back. Each style promises targeted shaping and sculpting in areas like the waist and core. (We’ve also noted ahead which styles have a pull-on design — meaning they’re free of any bulky zippers or buttons for a cleaner and more streamlined look.)Whatever jean design you typically go for, be it skinny-leg, cropped or trouser-inspired, Spanx most likely has something for you in a variety of washes and inclusive sizes. NordstromA pair of zipper-free wide-legged jeansThese EveryWear wide-legged jeans have a trouser-inspired silhouette that can be dressed up or down with a pair of dress heels, ballet flats or sneakers. Available in four washes, including off-white chalk and stonewashed blue, they offer a high-rise waist for tummy compression and a snug fit throughout the hips and thighs. According to the brand, these run slightly small and slightly long and you can find them in sizes XS-3X and in three inseam lengths. Note that the front fly and pocket details are decorative — these pull-on jeans are zipper-free. Promising Spanx review: "Love these wide-legged jeans! They are ridiculously comfortable and the perfect length for my 5’2” frame. They hug the butt and hips without being too snug, which is very unusual for me with my post-menopause body. They run a touch large; my regular size is Petite med and I probably could have gotten a small. I washed them right away and they shrunk just a little to fit perfectly. I will get a lot of use out of these! Oh, and the pockets are great!" — Heidi G.SpanxA pair of cropped kick flaresAnother addition to Spanx’s medium compression line are these functional cropped jeans with a cute ankle-skimming hemline and a slightly flared silhouette that lengthens the leg and flatters the hips and thighs. And thanks to the high-rise waist, they ensure a touch of tummy compression and shaping. Score these zipper-free jeans in four washes, like a classic black and a limited edition dark indigo, and sizes XS-3X in three lengths. According to the brand, these run small, though the length is true to size. SpanxClassic hip-hugging flaresSleek, flattering and elongating, these boot-cut skinny flares are made with Spanx's medium compression fabric and have built-in tummy control with a high-rise waist. Reviewers caution that these jeans run long, but the overall fit is true to size. They come in five washes, three inseam lengths and sizes XS-3X and have a pull-on fit just like the previous options on our list. Promising Spanx reviews: "These are the best jeans I've purchased in a while! I'm 5'11 and the tall length is just perfect. They accentuate your figure in the best way possible." — Monica T."Super flattering jeans that make your butt look amazing while also helping to reduce the mom belly. The length is longer so needs to be worn with heels. Bought several pairs because they are so flattering." — Shelly W.SpanxAnkle-skimming skinny jeansReviewers call these pull-on matchstick skinny jeans "extremely flattering," "slimming" and so comfortable that they feel closer to leggings than jeans. They are compressive throughout using the brand's four-way stretch material and also come in white. A sizing tip from the brand: These run a bit small, but the length is accurate (there are three inseam options to choose from). Promising Spanx reviews: "Great jeans for petite (5"1 1/2) and somewhat curvy (hourglass shaped) girl. Very comfortable yet slimming. Not sure how it does it but it makes your lower body look phenomenal." — Nina S."These jeans fit like a glove. They are both flattering and comfortable. The jeans have a very slimming and sharp look to them and work casual wear, a night out, or a laid back but tailored day in the office. I love the waist and support panel on these! I feel and look like a million bucks when I wear them." — Leone F.SpanxHigh-rise slim straight jeansHere's another skinny jean option that offers stronger compression for an even greater sculpting effect and targeted tummy control with a high-rise waistband. And unlike most of the other options on this list, they have a functional button fly. Spanx reviewers have awarded these jeans 5 out of 5 stars and appreciate how well they hold you in without any uncomfortable digging or pinching. You can find them in two washes, one length and sizes 0-26, though the brand suggests sizing up. Promising Spanx reviews: "I tried these pants again in a size 6 as my body is fluctuating post-partum, and I hit the jackpot! I feel so held-in and secure. I LOVE how high-waisted they are, especially post-partum! I am 2 sizes up from my pre-pregnancy size but could probably squeeze into 1 size up when my body settles more. I am in the regular inseam, but I'll definitely purchase petite once it's available!" — Cassidy H.SpanxA pair of bootcut flares from the ReDefine lineFor anyone seeking the most compression possible, these high-waisted bootcut flares promise to shape the thigh, lift the backside, elongate the leg and control the tummy. These figure-celebrating jeans also have five functional pockets and a classic fly and button closure for a feeling that's closer to conventional denim. Rated 4.8 out of 5 stars, these jeans come in two washes, one length and sizes 0-26 (though the brand recommends sizing up). Promising Spanx reviews: "I absolutely love the fabric and color. It fits me so well and comfy. Love the compression and how it transformed my butt look! Make sure to use size chart to order." — Crystal"I’m obsessed with these flares! They sculpt and smooth in all the right places while still being super comfy. Perfect for dressing up or down—definitely a new go-to in my closet!" — plbThe original version of this story was published on HuffPost at an earlier date.Close Trending In ShoppingMore In Shopping
