Jeans That Slim You Overall

A great-fitting, stylish pair of jeans will take you from casual Friday right on through the weekend. But in this age of obscenely low styles and designer options that cost upwards of $200, what does the real woman -- with a real-woman figure -- do? Most women have to try on dozens of pairs to find just one that works. We've done some of the guesswork for you, and whittled the choices down to our favorite affordable, wearable options -- and no mom jeans!

Levi Strauss Signature Stretch Low-Rise Bootcut ($19.99)
These are the jeans you will wear for years and years. Don't be scared of the low-rise classification; these jeans hit at the just-right spot. The waist contours slightly, which means no gaping when you sit. Buy in a dark wash for even more slimming power.
