A favorite of Roz Kaur, stylist, these jeans were made with Lift Tuck technology, per the brand, to flatten in the front and flatter curves in the back. “I recommend the NYDJ Marilyn Straight-Leg Jeans,” says Kaur. “These are known for their comfortable fit and flattering silhouette. The Lift Tuck Technology helps smooth and shape, making them a great choice for women over 50.”

Looking for an affordable option that’s also super comfortable? These highly-rated pair by Lee have quite the following with, over 22,000 ratings and nearly five stars. Available in eight washes and a slew of sizes, there’s something here for everyone. “These jeans fit beautifully. Well made. I like to wear them with a heel to dress them up, or a ballet flag to dress down,” one Amazon shopper wrote.

“These classics are a must-have addition to your denim collection and will go with items you already have in your wardrobe rotation! Perfect for year-round wear, this under-$100 pair doesn’t break the bank and offers a neutral wash and classic fit that will never go out of style,” Sockel says.

“Great for petite women, this pair has a mid-rise waist, a fitted look, and a bootcut leg opening for a slightly ‘70s-inspired aesthetic that pairs well with a variety of tops, tees, and tanks,” Sockel says. Petite, regular, and tall sizes are available via Amazon, and regular and petite sizing is available via Stitch Fix.

“These are a great choice for women with a curvy figure, given the high-rise fit and loose pant legs (plus 1% Spandex to provide just the right amount of stretch). We love a wide-leg pant when you’re looking for a more comfortable and less restrictive fit,” Sockel says.

Looking for high-rise straight-leg jeans? These are stylist-recommended, thanks to a bit of stretch and a lot of style. “These are my top straight-leg choice of jeans for women over 50 since they have stretch and provide a high rise,” says Sockel. “The solid mid-wash color makes them a great choice for everyday wear.”

Kaur recommends Levi’s 315 bootcut jeans. “They offer a classic style with a slight flare at the hem, providing balance and versatility for mature women,” she says.

“Consider the Not Your Daughter’s Jeans Marilyn Straight-Leg Jeans in white,” Kaur says. “The same great fit as their blue jeans, these will elevate your wardrobe with a crisp and clean look.” These high-rise jeans are perfect for a summer soirée or for those daring to try a winter white.

Ética jeans are a favorite of mine for a reason. Buttery soft to the touch, you’d never believe how much these can withstand. Whether running around after my niece, commuting to work, or simply sitting at my desk all day, the brand continues to impress. I love the straight leg and cropped cut of these, practically ensuring you won’t need to get them hemmed. The black color is perfect for dressier events too.

“These jeans are ideal for plus-size women due to their comfortable fit and mid-rise waist, which offers support around the midsection without feeling restrictive. The black wash offers versatility in terms of what you can pair with them, and the stretch in the fabrication means you can be your most confident self day or night,” Sockel says.

My mom’s absolute favorite jeans, these Not Your Daughter’s Jeans come in a variety of sizes and lengths so you can find your perfect fit. If you’re looking for a pair of skinny jeans over 50, then these are the ones for you. Super comfortable and supportive, these jeans are a great addition to your wardrobe. “These jeans are so comfortable, but at the same time, they feel snug. These are stretchier than my older pair of thicker Ami skinny jeans. I like the improvements,” one NYDJ customer wrote.

These mid-rise jeans by Paige are a favorite for a reason. Though a bit pricey, if you snag them on sale these jeans are quite the power buy. A more relaxed style like the boyfriend jeans allows for a roomier, more comfortable pair of denim.

With over 48,000 ratings and nearly five stars, it’s safe to say Amazon shoppers are loving these curvy bootcut jeans. We can see why, with multiple lengths (short, regular, long) and sizes (regular, plus, plus short, plus long), and 25 washes and colors to choose from (yes, 25!). “Now these jeans, they are AMAZING! They fit just right and don’t become stretched out as the day progresses. They hug your tush and accentuate what you have and if you weren’t blessed with a bodacious bottom, then they work their magic and make it look like you have a bit of a rump,” one enthusiastic Amazon shopper wrote. “ I love them and will most likely order a few more pairs in the near future. Super comfy A+ jeans here.”

Recommended by Kaur, these luxe jeans by Paige offer fashion and function. Cut from the brand’s Transcend Vintage denim, the dark-wash jeans are super stretchy and comfortable. A bit of Spandex and a lot of cotton allow you to move freely in these stunning jeans.

Though these have a steep price tag, the brand is a favorite among celebs like Maggie Gyllenhaal (who is collaborating with the brand) and Jill Biden. Featuring a slim-fit style, flat front, mid-rise, and straight leg cut, these are so sleek.
