That’s why we created SPANXshape™ Authentic 360 Denim, a collection designed specifically for curves, with shaping technology that supports, smooths, and moves with your body. These are jeans you can trust to help you feel neat, smoothed, and put together, whether you’re heading out for a casual coffee run or spending the day on the go.

What Makes Jeans Work for Curvy Bodies?

The best jeans for curvy women are designed with real proportions in mind. That means:

  • Enough room through the hips and thighs
  • Waistbands that don’t gap or dig in
  • Stretch that moves with you and holds its shape
  • A fit that flatters without feeling restrictive

The Authentic 360 collection is engineered to deliver all of this, so your jeans work with your curves, not against them.

Introducing: SPANXshape™ Authentic 360 Cuffed Horseshoe Jeans

The newest addition to the collection, the SPANXshape™ Authentic 360 Cuffed Horseshoe Jeans, brings a modern, fashion-forward silhouette to curve-friendly denim.

With a relaxed, sculptural leg and cuffed hem, this style feels intentional and wearable. Built-in shaping through the waist and hips smooths and supports, while the horseshoe leg allows freedom through the thighs, making it ideal for jeans for thick thighs and curvier hips.

Why curvy women love this fit:

  • Contoured waistband that hugs without squeezing
  • Comfortable room through hips and thighs
  • A structured shape that still feels expressive and easy

It’s the kind of denim that makes casual outings feel effortlessly styled.

What Jeans Fit Curvy Hips Best?

When it comes to curvy jeans, silhouette matters. That’s why SPANXshape™ Authentic 360 offers multiple fits—each designed to flatter curves while honoring different style preferences.

Straight Leg: A Timeless Go-To

The SPANXshape™ Authentic 360 ’90s Straight Leg Jeans offer a classic, streamlined shape that balances curves without clinging. This silhouette works especially well for a pear-shaped body and transitions easily from casual to polished looks.

Wide Leg: Polished and Elongating

For a refined feel, the SPANXshape™ Authentic 360 Wide Leg Trouser Jeans combine waist-smoothing support with a flowing leg. They’re a great option for jeans for an hourglass figure that feel elevated yet comfortable.

Barrel Leg: Modern and Relaxed

The SPANXshape™ Authentic 360 Barrel Leg Jeans create subtle volume through the leg for a relaxed but intentional look. This style is ideal if you’re looking for jeans for a pear shaped body that feel current without being trendy.

Why Authentic 360 Denim Is Different

Every style in the SPANXshape™ Authentic 360 collection is thoughtfully designed with:

  • Built-in shaping for 360° support
  • Premium stretch denim that moves and recovers
  • Proportions made specifically for curves

These aren’t jeans that ask you to adjust your body—they’re designed to adjust to you.
