The Best Jeans for a Pear Shape Body

Let's talk jeans……..I'm sharing (after 5 years of research)  the best jeans for a pear shape body type!
Best Jeans for a Pear Shape Body: These jeans will flatter your body and won't break the bank!I can't even believe how long I've been working on this blog post.  I started it almost three years ago and have updated it twice as new styles released (I mean bootcut jeans are back and we're all wearing straight leg jeans these days too).  One of the hardest things to find if you have a pear shaped body? Jeans.  Jeans for a pear shaped body are a challenge.  One pair fits the thighs and not the waist and the next pair fits your waist and is too small on the hips.

So, I started doing research…..I tried on EVERY pair of jeans that were recommended for pear shape bodies.  These four pairs of jeans? Fit like a dream (I own all of them), and they come in a variety of prices.  They represent a variety of styles, and are all jeans that I own personally and would HIGHLY recommend.

A quick review: a pear shape body means that your upper body is narrower than your lower body.  A pear body shape tends to have a smaller waist and wider hips….which makes jeans especially challenging because….there's almost always that extra fabric in the waist.  It's helped me to try jeans with stretch, or a higher rise jean that nips in at the waist already.  And these? Are some the best pairs of jeans I've found, and the ones that I reach for over and and over as those perfect pair of jeans options in my closet (these are perfect for everyday outfits, my favorite teacher outfits, and dressing up).

The Best Jeans for a Pear Shape Body

When it comes to denim style and color, I'm ALLLLLL over the place.  I love dark colors for evening and stretchy jeans for long days at Disneyland.  I want to encourage you (all women, not just us curvy women) to take some time to REALLY find the right fit for YOU when it comes to denim.  At the end of the day, there is no ONE style that is best for anyone.  Confidence and feeling great is your BEST FRIEND.  That's the most important thing, finding a great option for this wardrobe staple that works for YOU.

Shop all jeans:

Let's talk jeans........ these are the best jeans for a pear shaped body hands down!Paige Denim Verdugo Ankle Skinny Jeans (size 30, $199): These jeans were my first nice pair of jeans after having Lydia.  They fit like a dream, coming in a variety of washes, and last amazingly well.  I've owned the same pair for almost six years and they're good as new….if you're looking for high rise jeans, these are a great option. They're also VERY versatile and easily shift from casual days at home to being a great choice for the office with a blouse and blazer.

DONNA ANKLE WITH CUT RAW EDGE HEM (size 10, $89.50 ): This pair of distressed jeans from Kut from the Kloth is a recent favorite (discovered during the Nordstrom sale this summer).  If you're on the hunt for distressed skinny jeans that look mature, they're a great find.  These are distressed enough to be on trend without being too much.  I love the fading, and the slight raw hem at the ankles.  They're a light enough wash for summer wear, and can easily be layered in the winter.   They hit right above the hips and have a great amount of stretch.

Looking for the best jeans for a pear shaped body? These ankle flare jeans are on trend and SUPER flattering!

KELSEY HIGH RISE ANKLE FLARE WITH RAW HEM (size 10, $89.50): OMG buy these now! Flare ankle jeans to flatter a pear shape were definitely the hardest to find.  In fact, I tried over 15 pairs.  And these? Are so comfortable and fit like a dream.  Plus, they're a great price.  If you're on the hunt for When it comes to denim style and color, I'm ALLLLLL over the place.  I love dark colors for wide leg jeans, these are IT.  For me, they're the perfect jeans for relaxing around the house or wearing with a tee shirt and sneakers to a baseball game.

Looking for the best jeans for a pear shape body with stretch? These grey jeans are super flattering and perfect for fall outfit options!

Wit & Wisdom Ab-solution Stretch Ankle Skinny Jeans (size 10, $78): These amazing grey jeans were another Nordstrom Anniversary Sale find.  They fit perfectly, don't stretch out during wear and come in a TON of colors.  I bought my first pair two years ago, and now I own them in three shades.  They've held up VERY well and I recommend them all the time.  Bonus? They have an elastic waist.  So basically, the comfort of leggings and the style of jeans…..they're GREAT for larger thighs and a small waist since they have the ability to adjust with all that stretch.

Free Assembly Women's 90's Original Straight Denim Jeans (size 12, $27): In my experience finding flattering jeans for a pear shape body that aren't pricey can be….challenging.  But these? Some of the best mom jeans I've tried.  Warning, these have no stretch and are a little bit stiff (think classic jeans not more modern stretch jeans), so I'd suggest sizing up if you are in between sizes.  In my opinion? These are your best bet for bargain jeans and come in light colors as well as darker colors.

    American Eagle Outfitters high waisted jeggings – Lordy. Affordable, super soft, and fit like a dream for the hip to waist ratio. I am SO glad someone clued me in.

🎃unpopular opinion: You don’t have to do Oogi 🎃unpopular opinion: You don’t have to do Oogie Boogie Bash to have the perfect spooky season day at Disneyland⠀⠀🎃Now, here’s the thing: I love Oogie Boogie Bash.  But it sells out SO quickly every year.  And I promise, there is still a LOT of Halloween Time fun at Disneyland (yes even without an Oogie Boogie Bash ticket). I’ve been hopping around the parks with Undercover Tourist and we’ve had a TOTAL blast doing all the spooky things together.⠀⠀A few of my favorite Halloweenie things to do during a parks day (or night):⠀🖤visit the Halloween Tree (IYKYK)⠀🧡watch the Dapper Dans sing all their cutesiest spookiest songs⠀🖤check out the Dia de los Muertos area in Frontierland AND the performances in Paradise Guardians (check for the Mariachi Divas in the app….they’re AMAZING)⠀🧡try at least one new to me spooky treat (yup, that includes my seasonal cold brews and this year’s Minnie Bat Caramel Apple)⠀🖤do alllll the themed attractions, each of these does something special for Halloweentime: Luigi's Honkin' Haul-O-Ween, Monsters After Dark, Mater's Graveyard JamBOOree and…..our fav the Haunted Mansion ⠀🧡do Pumpkin Pursuit at Downtown Disney ⠀🖤the new Goofy’s Kitchen Halloween Dinner and Brunch (we loved the dinner over the weekend and I’m sharing the brunch in stories today!)⠀⠀🎃My friends at Undercover Tourist have some pretty awesome guides to Halloweentime on their site……they’re a great spooky season resource for info and a great deals on Disney tickets resource year round.  I know, I rave about them a lot but……who doesn’t love a Disney partner that gives you deals on trips to the Happiest Place on Earth for ANY holiday or season?⠀⠀#FrogHopDLR #Disneyland#DisneylandResort #Halloweentime @themeparkfrog @disneyland⠀⠀⠀

🚨 3 MISTAKES I MADE AT MY FIRST RUN DISNEY RACE 🚨 3 MISTAKES I MADE AT MY FIRST RUN DISNEY RACE 🚨⠀⠀🛑 Learn from my mistakes, 3 things you should NOT do if you’re running Disney races this year (trust me):⠀⠀1️⃣ Passing Go and Heading STRAIGHT to the parks: I realllllyyyyy wanted medal pictures.  In my running outfit.  So, instead of taking the buses straight from the finish line back to the hotel……we went to the Magic Kingdom.  Took photos.  Went to lunch.  And felt…..terrible by about 1 pm.  So take it from me, finish the race.  Go to the hotel.  Shower. Take a nap.  THEN go to the parks. ⠀2️⃣ Breakfast: ok, mistake number 2.  WHAT WE ATE.  We booked a very cute, very on theme lunch.  It was also very rich and creamy food.  And…..was NOT IT after a race.  Some of us may have gotten sick.  It might have been the food.  Or the lack of sleep.  But, breakfast food (waffles / eggs) would have been a MUCH better choice.  Now bonus points if you can guess where we ate.  Love it, but….not for the first meal after the race.⠀3️⃣ Park Tickets: I spent WAY too much.  I didn’t buy my park tickets in advance and paid full price.  On a race weekend, you’ll probably want tickets for race day and the day after if not two days after.  So….buy them NOW.  While you can get a deal. ⠀⠀🎟️ Which leads to……when I say buy those park tickets now, I mean it. Big News! Undercover Tourist is offering their best ticket deal at BOTH Walt Disney World and Disneyland Resort…for a VERY limited time, get Adult Theme Park Tickets at Child Prices.  So whichever race you are running (or races in my case)……snag tickets NOW.  I’m grabbing mine for Wine and Dine and Princess weekend……..⠀🎟️ want a link to the deal? Comment TICKETS PLEASE and I’ll send it your way! ⠀👟 Are you running a Disney Race this year? Which one? ⠀⠀🥇 And if you’re an experienced Run Disney person….what tips do YOU have for first timers?⠀⠀@themeparkfrog @disneyland #FrogHopDLR #rundisney
Because it inspires me to see runners who look lik Because it inspires me to see runners who look like me, with bodies like mine, training and finding joy in the process.I hope this reminds you that there isn’t one strong / athletic body type.inspired by @shelbysaywhatblog who shares her journey with size 12 fitness here’s to the next run. < and if you want info on these curve friendly workout items…..comment LINK — I’ll send them to your messages >
Two good witches and one black cat…….kick off Two good witches and one black cat…….kick off another year of family halloween costumes.The thing is, I tried to talk Lydia out of these costumes.  It was a cooler day on Saturday and I kept telling her we could just wear jeans and the hats.  Until, I realized…….we may not have that many Halloween seasons left of cute family costumes.  So pink witches we were…..for the kickoff of Legoland’s Brick or Treat. We love Brick or Treat (this is our 3rd year doing it). It’s got some new activities this year, and I L-O-V-E that it’s included in your regular @legolandcalifornia ticket (bonus it ALSO will be included in Kids Free October here in SD).Our favs this year:- the wacky witch trail near the water park entrance- the zombie cheerleaders- halloween themed apple fries- the monster security checkpoint- Jam Out with the Rockers (this meet and greet is HYSTERICAL, scroll for the footage)Brick or Treat takes place on Saturdays in September and then Saturdays and SOME Sundays in October (dates are on the Legoland website).Welp, this makes it official.  Summer has come to an end. Bring on the Halloween fun!#sponsored #LEGOLANDcalifornia
