What are the difference between jean silhouettes?

Flare

SPANXshape™ EveryWear flare jeans hug you just the way you want—all the way down through the waist, hips, and thighs before flaring out. Elongating, effortlessly stylish, and flattering for all, these jeans can be dressed up or down, worn in or out of the office or even at home on Zoom (they’re that comfortable).

 

Kick Flare

This SPANXshape™ EveryWear silhouette fits close, from its high waist down through the thighs. It flares out into a kick at the knee and hits right at the ankle (our three inseam options ensure your ideal fit). We usually wear these jeans for daytime errands, casual lunches, or school drop-offs but definitely have a pair in black when we need to style it up. They’re perfect for showing off those statement shoes or sneaks.

 

Wide Leg

Your weekend look is complete. SPANXshape™ EveryWear Wide Leg Jeans in Raw Indigo may be daytime chic, but they are still dressy enough to skip an outfit switch when late-afternoon errands extend into evening dinner or drinks. This silhouette is for everyone who loves the flare–it begins at the low hip and continues all the way down.

 

Cropped Wide Leg

Leg lengthening, booty lifting, and so easy and fresh. The key to SPANXshape™ EveryWear Cropped Wide Leg Jeans is the length: it should hit right above the ankle. We’ve got you—or rather, our three inseam options do: regular, petite, tall. Your favorite pair of shoes will also adore the attention.

 

Straight Leg

Get that tailored look, without the tailor. Classic for a reason, this slim silhouette pairs perfectly for any occasion and with any footwear: boots, sneakers, flats, you name it (and wear it!).

 

What are the best jeans for curvy figures?

All SPANX jeans are designed to flatter every kind of figure—and they especially love your curves. Our premium 4-stretch blend fabric hugs you in just the right way with TummyTamer Tech™ that shapes and supports your belly. In whatever style you want (flared, cropped, wide-legged, or straight), we’ve made sure we have your fit. All our jeans are available in sizes XS-3X and in 3 inseam lengths: regular, petite, and tall. Just click over to our size guide to get started. (Fit tip: If you’re in between sizes, we recommend sizing up!)

 

What is the difference between regular and stretch denim?

It’s all about fabric flexibility. Regular denim is made from durable cotton or cotton twill and provides a more rigid fit than stretch denim. At SPANX, our stretch denim jeans are engineered with that same durable cotton plus an addition of stretch yarns that give a flexible yet firm—and always comfy—hold. 

All cut from this premium 4-stretch blend, SPANXshape™ Everywhere Jeans are also developed with an innovative TummyTamer Tech™. So you get the fit and comfort you like from stretch denim, with the firm SPANX shaping you love. Also? Functional back pockets are designed and placed to lift and boost your booty.

 

What are the most comfortable jeans for everyday wear?

We named our collection of jeans SPANXshape EveryWear for a reason. All our jeans were engineered to be comfortable for every day (and night), no matter your routine. Dinner out? Playground play date? We have the silhouette you want, in the size you need–shop from XS-3X. Plus, 3 inseam lengths (regular, petite, and tall) and different denim colors tailor your look and fit. Designed in premium 4-stretch blend with TummyTamer Tech™ that shapes your belly, every pair of SPANX jeans is comfy, polished, and so versatile. In other words, the ultimate staple.

 

How can I style my denim for different occasions?

What we like about denim? They’re a closet essential that can be at once timeless, edgy, casual, and dressy. What we love most about SPANXshape EveryWear jeans? They’re so comfortable (and look and feel so great) that we really do want to wear them for every wear—and everywhere. Here are some easy styling tips on how to do just that.

 

Weekend

Jeans are the star of our weekend wardrobe. SPANXshape EveryWear Wide Leg Jeans—long inseam or cropped—are casually cool and stylish, especially with a great T-shirt (you know the one) and sneakers.

 

Work

Here at SPANX, our SPANXshape EveryWear Straight Leg is an outfit go-to for around the clock, but especially for our 9-to-5 in the office. We like adding structure to our denim look with a sharp blazer as well as other elevated pieces that look polished and professional.

 

Evening

For darker hours, we turn to darker denim. SPANXshape EveryWear Kick Flare Jeans in Raw Indigo or Clean Black paired with fun heels take the look—and you (literally)—up a notch.
