Suggested by Eden Godsoe:

I lived in my Citizen for Humanity maternity jeans during both pregnancies (and perhaps for another 6 months after!) They are worth the investment.

Krista: Oh, fantastic! Taking your word for it because I've never been pregnant :)Citizens are another one of my favorite brands, so I'm sure these are incredible. One of my pairs has already lasted more than four years!

Most Affordable Skinny: Forever21 Skinny Pant

I power shopped my way through these, scooping up three pair in white. At $15.80, it's a good idea! Be warned - I sized down 2 sizes. These stretch like crazy.

Best Boyfriend Skinny: Paige Premium "Jimmy Jimmy Skinny"

I am not one for skinny jeans (or Paige, usually!) but these are great. I'd say they run a full size small, though Paige is usually more trim anyway. Highly recommend!

Best Specialized: Levi's® Curve ID

Levi's

I recently became acquainted with the Levi's Curve and highly recommend it. With four variations, one of these specialized fits will likely make you feel like a million bucks.

Best Lightweight (with stretch!): J Brand "Bailey" Bootcut Leg Jeans in Mayflower

J. Brand brings simplicity and style to quality denim with a slightly faded wash and sleek silhouette.

I just snatched these up and they're unreal! Super light weight, the right amount of stretch and an absolutely perfect fit. The medium blue wash is great for weekend wear or casual at its best. LOVE these.

Best Figure Friendly: GAP - The Curvy

Curvy jeans in the latest styles are available at Gap. Our curvy jeans are designed to perfectly fit for flattering comfort.

A perfect choice for those with athletic thighs and tiny middles, these jeans accentuate your curves in all of the right places without the awful waist gap. Tailor trips? No more! Sizing tip: Size down one size for a snug fit (lots of stretch)

Shauna: I totally agree! The waist gap is such a killer for us gals with hips and these jeans are great for that. Thanks for including them Krista!

Soon the leaves will fall, the air will chill and my thighs will do less sweaty chafing, and more painless, dry rubbing. Fall. It’s a good thing. If you were to ask me my ideal season, it would always be

A great blog post from the Curvy Girls Guide about finding a variety of jeans that fit & flatter! Photos included.

Best Casual Crop: Joe's Jeans Boyfriend Kicker

Perhaps the most famous single name in denim, Joe's--with plenty of perfect-for-you fits to choose from--quickly became the go-to brand for the perfect-fitting pair of jeans.

Cropped and cool, this pair was made for those of us who adore a worn-in casual feel. Try these jeans with an airy, open-knit sweater or dress them up with a platform sandal or wedge.

Sarah: I love these- great suggestion with the sweater! Perfect for the weather in SF right now!

eFlirt Expert: As a curvy girl, Joe's Jeans are my favorite! I don't have any of their crops though -- these look adorable.

Krista: Laurie - highly recommend the crops! They're actually perfect for tucking into boots too since there's less material at the bottom. I wear mine year round!

Really more of a straight cut than a skinny, this trim pair is perfect for tucking into boots or pairing with a pump for nights on the town. Try it with a floaty tunic for an easy, stylish look.

Alexandra: Love these!

Samantha: Don't often see skinny jeans that I actually like, but these look like they would flatter any body type.

Catherine Wood: I'm wearing http://www.net-a-porter.com/product/168639 J brand High Rise Marla. Perfect for a crazy mom because they are high enough to bend over and not flash the butt. As a total hourglass they are some of the only skinnies that work for me.

Best Jeggings

Prairie Underground

Suggested by Rebecca Eisenberg:

No one does jeggings like Prairie Underground. They are comfortable, flexible and very flattering. I wear one of my 4 pairs almost every day!

Krista: Since my body is definitely not what I would call "jegging-friendly", I'm going to take your advice. These sounds pretty wonderful - and four pairs is a true testament of your love for this denim. Thanks for the great suggestion!

Get nostalgic with this high-waisted bootcut pair of jeans! Fantastic fit (hugs your body in all the right places) and light, stretchy denim will make you want to strut your stuff from day to night.

Jeanne: Been wanting to find some high waisted jeans... I love that these are in stretchy denim too. Thanks for recommending it!

Eden Godsoe: These have always been my favorite!

Alexandra: I'm 5'10" and find in general that 7s work well for me. Love these!

A classic cut and deep blue hue make this pair as sleek and professional as denim can be. A dream for those who are lucky enough to work in business casual environments and a chic go-to for any fashionista.

SkinnyScoop Member: I'm totally buying these!! I've been looking for a good bootcut, tried on a bunch @ the nordstrom anniversary sale and FAILED miserably. Thanks for the suggestion, Krista!

Shauna: Definitely going to be trying these out this weekend, I've been looking for a good bootcut as well. Love the color too. Thanks Krista :)

Vanessa: i love jbrand jeans. my friend has a pair in red and they're to die for.

Suggested by Elizabeth Warner:

Hi Krista- I just love your list! I thought the J brand Lovestory should also make the list as Best Flare. They are truly superior when it comes to elongating the le and believe me when I say I have tried most on the market. Great list!

Krista: I've been meaning to try these too! Now I HAVE to!

I have a good couple of pairs from INDI & they are super comfortable jeans! They are custom made meaning the customer designs the jean while INDI makes it per individual's body type/shape. They have great customer service too & a perfect fit promise.

Larissa: These look great on you, I'll have to try them someday.

Jackie: Thanks Larissa! They really are so comfortable...I highly recommend you try a pair :)

Krista: I've been wanting to visit Indi since I moved to the city! I've heard good things from MANY people. Thanks for adding to my list!

No body is created equal. We are shaped like apples and pears, like hourglasses and rectangles. Luckily for all of our bodies, jean manufacturers are starting to realize that none of us are created equal, and most brands carry many

I love the Curvy Girls Guide (editor Brittany is a SkinnyScoop Tastemaker!) and I just found this old posting with some great descriptions of body shapes/more jean recommendations. A great related link!

 Hey JeanQueen, got a recommendation for white jeans??

The Best White Jeans??

You don't need to wait until Memorial Day to bring out the white jeans, but waiting for the first warm day does make white jeans feel extra special. White jeans can be a harrowing experience — too tight, too stretchy, too thin, or even too white...
