11 Best Tummy-Control Jeans We’re Wearing This Winter for Style and Support

This designer denim has a curved, slightly tapered fit that works especially well for anyone shopping for petite jeans. “These are my new favorite jeans to wear into the office,” says Griggs. “I’m five foot four, and the cropped, slightly boot-cut fit hits right at the ankle. Their dark wash, substantial material, and not too exaggerated silhouette all feel dressy enough for work. They hold their shape so well that I actually wore them three days in a row last week (shh).” The jeans are made of pure cotton with no stretch, offering some light tummy control that doesn’t sag quickly.

Material: 100% cotton | Washes: 3 options | Size range: 23–34 | Inseam: 27.5 in. | Rise: Mid rise

These under-$50 sweatpant jeans are a solid pick if comfort and budget are your priorities but you still want the look of denim. The high-rise elastic waistband offers light hold through the midsection without any stiff compression, and the thicker fabric has the stretch of sweats. “I was genuinely surprised by how comfortable they are,” says Griggs. “They really do feel like sweats, and I can crouch or sit cross-legged without thinking about them.” The straight-leg cut reads casual rather than structured, which works well for everyday wear.

Flare jeans are back, and so is Abercrombie. (My Y2K self is silently screaming!) While it’s rare to find denim that’s stretchy enough to stay comfy but structured enough to stay put, these flares ace the assignment. They cinch your waist, hug your thighs without squeezing, and give you legs for days—all without losing their shape. The dark wash is perfect for dressing up or down, and the stretchy jeans come in curvy fits and short, regular, and long inseams to suit just about every height.

Material: 99% cotton, 1% elastane | Washes: 3 options | Size range: 24–34 | Inseam: 29.75 in. (short); 31.75 in. (regular); 33.75 in. (long) | Rise: High rise

I never thought I could pull off barrel jeans, but this new high-rise denim from Spanx is totally worth the hype. The silhouette is subtle and not overly wide, so it’s easy to wear and even more effortless to style. The denim is also incredibly soft with generous stretch but still very much looks and feels like real jeans, not jeggings. The built-in tummy-control panel gently smooths my stomach and waist without accentuating the mom pooch. It’s comfortable enough to wear to the soccer field but still cute enough to actually want to wear out, which is basically my holy grail of jeans as an active mom of three.

Material: 91% cotton, 8% polyester, 1% elastane | Washes: 3 options | Size range: XS–3X | Inseam: 25.5 in. (petite); 27.5 in. (regular); 30.5 in. (tall) | Rise: High rise

These extra-high-waist jeans from Old Navy are a tummy-control winner (and sit a good inch higher than the standard high-rise pair). The curve-hugging fan fave has a stylish button front, front scoop pockets, and a trendy cut-off hem. The blend of mostly cotton and polyester fabric means it will mold to your body. “When you pull them on, you might worry they won’t fit, but they’re so stretchy while also flattening the lower tummy,” says Glamour contributor Brie Schwartz.

Material: 64% cotton, 31% polyester, 2% spandex | Washes: 9 options | Size range: 00–30 | Inseam: 25 in. (petite); 27 in. (regular); 31 in. (tall) | Rise: High rise

The wide-leg cut of these Levi’s jeans helps create the illusion of length, while the built-in tummy-control panel subtly smooths without feeling stiff or compressive. “I love wide-leg jeans because they balance out the roundness of my tummy, are super comfy, and these actually make my shorter legs look longer,” Griggs says.

Material: 78% cotton, 21% polyester, 1% Lycra | Washes: 5 options | Size range: 23–34 | Inseam: 30, 32, 34 in. | Rise: High rise

These high-quality pull-on jeans are giving my tummy-control leggings a run for their money. The recycled cotton is so soft, and they slip on easily with a smooth, flat waistband, faux zipper, and high rise that slims my belly and makes my butt look amazing. They also have the perfect amount of stretch, fitting snugly without getting baggy by the end of the day. I’d recommend ordering your true size (size down if you’re between sizes), as they do loosen slightly with wear. The kick flare is so cute paired with sneakers, flats, or strappy sandals.

Gap’s slouchy denim is great for moving freely throughout your day without that uncomfortable sensation of your pants digging into your skin. (In fact, Allie Pellerano-Rendón, cofounder and CEO of consulting agency The Collection Atelier, says she wore the relaxed mid-rise jeans on a five-hour flight: “They stayed nearly as cozy as a pair of sweats.”) “They’re a staple for me because they’re soft and stretchy, offering comfort without losing that true denim feel,” says Dana Bosland, a model and content producer based in New York. “I love the waistline and the cut. It feels very secure. Plus, the stitch detail across the knee and flare of the pants leg is very flattering.” Also worth noting: They come in three fits and three inseams—a true blessing for anyone who struggles to come across that just-right pair.

Material: 55% cotton, 40% Tencel, 5% recycled cotton | Washes: 34 options | Size range: 24–35 | Inseam: 28.5 in. (petite); 29.5 in. (short); 31 in. (regular); 33 in. (long); 35 in. (tall) | Rise: Mid rise

Good American is a go-to for stretchy, curve-hugging, and size-inclusive jeans that complement every figure. “These have a traditional button and zipper, but the light compression built into the waistband gives that same supportive feel,” says Glamour reviewer Caralyn Mirand Koch, a former plus-size model turned content creator. “They smooth without squeezing and have just enough structure to feel held in, but not like you’re wearing shapewear. These are great if you still want a classic denim look with a little extra help in the midsection.”
