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.

….and also why are we commenting negatively abou ….and also why are we commenting negatively about people’s appearances in 2023?Double also: if the worst thing people on the interwebs can say about me is that they don’t like my smile…..then I feel pretty good about what type of person I’ve chosen to be.
💕Because we all want our kids to soar………⠀⠀So fitting right? Elvis named this plane after his daughter.  And all I’ve been thinking about throughout our St Jude experience…..is how certain things truly bond all of us.  Certain things cross economic barriers and continent and language differences.  Parenthood is one of those.  It’s a universal experience.  And I think whether we are parents or role models or aunties or friends……we all know what it’s like to dream and hope on behalf of a child in your life.⠀⠀In 2012, when I was newly married and not yet a parent one of my students was diagnosed with cancer.  Without revealing details about her or her family, I think it’s important to recognize that economic barriers prevented what should have been an earlier diagnosis.  It was one of many times I was reminded during my time with the amazing humans in my classrooms that…..we do NOT all have the same access or experiences in life.  That student and her family were one of the miracle stories.  In fact, when she came back to class, she complained about missing soccer games at recess and fell right back in with the rest in a way that to this day brings joyful tears to my eyes. ⠀⠀I said this on my stories during my trip, but…..I didn’t realize until this experience that families at St Jude NEVER receive a bill.  Ever.  No matter what.  That this access gives families hope during their darkest days.⠀⠀I’m going to be teaming up with St. Jude to do a fun challenge that will hopefully inspire y’all to support them too.  Let’s just say that…..for this scared of heights, refuses to take my feet off the ground theme park girlie……I’m going to making the ultimate sacrifices.⠀⠀What rides would you want to see me go on in support of St Jude? (be kind, I’m literally TERRIFIED of any and all rides that have a height limit). You know they REALLY moved me if I’m even thinking of doing this! ⠀⠀@stjude #stjudeambassador
💕Double tap if you know what the Peabody is fam 💕Double tap if you know what the Peabody is famous for…..so many of you guessed it in stories last night!🦆The Peabody Hotel is famous for their duck parade.  And we got to see it as a part of Day 1 of the St Jude Content Creator Summit.  I’m in Memphis to learn all about how St Jude is doing life saving research to fight and cure childhood cancers.💕Real talk: I get to do a lot of fun things because of this little app but projects like this? Are an absolute honor.  Did you know that patients at St Jude NEVER RECEIVE A BILL? What a gift to families in crisis. I’m so happy to share this next couple of days here in Memphis with y’all and to support such an important organization.🦆Now, swipe to see the ducks. @stjude #stjudeambassador
She IS Ariel. We saw it. It’s a gift. This s She IS Ariel. We saw it.  It’s a gift.  This stunning movie shows a princess who is absolutely……royal.  Graceful.  Brave and……the perfect mermaid. Years ago, I was sitting in the theater during the live action Lion King premiere just days after the Little Mermaid casting was announced.  And in walked Halle Bailey.  This young girl and all I could think was……how much weight of the world was on her shoulders.  The room paused.  And people everywhere stood.  They applauded her and smiled and I thought…..she really is a princess. Halle, you are the epitome of royalty.  Thank you for sharing your shine with the world.I would love to encourage you to follow these amazing creators who have been shining themselves and sharing a ton of special Little Mermaid experiences:@jenniferborget @erikaenchanted@davidvaughn@_the_adventurous_rjay@colormemagic@melizzablackLydia’s, Robbie’s and my full review of the film will be on the blog Monday morning.How excited are you for the film? Who is your favorite Little Mermaid character? #littlemermaid #colormemermaid #ariel
Mother’s Day Memories: Starting to wonder how ma Mother’s Day Memories: Starting to wonder how many more years we have of this family tradition before SOMEONE becomes a full blown teen / tween and the Happiest Place on Earth is a whole different vibeWe: hugged our favorite characters, danced every time mom got a coffee (swipe for that excellent content), Lydia and Robbie rode all the mountains, walked 22,000 steps on Saturday alone, and Robbie finally got to see Toontown for the first time since it’s reopening.We slept like rocks on the comfy beds at the JW Marriott (it was such a kind gesture when they offered to host us for Mother’s day weekend), I drank my morning coffee in their beautiful garden, and loved that it was a quick 15 minute walk to the Disneyland gates.  If you are looking for a luxury hotel experience near Disneyland, I highly recommend.  They have great dining options, a Starbucks in the lobby each morning, and a lovely pool.  This was a perfect treat yourself location.Have you done a holiday at Disneyland? My favorites (in no particular order): Halloween (Oogie Boogie is the best), Holiday Time and Mother’s Day……each has it’s own unique flavor.@MarriottBonvoy #MarriottBonvoy @jwmarriottanaheim #jwmarriottanaheim #MarriottBonvoyMoments Hosted
