There's nothing like putting on a pair of amazing jeans that instantly transforms your look and boosts your confidence, but with so many styles, fits, and fabrics, finding the perfect pair of jeans that flatters your figure, contours your assets, and fits like a glove is not always an easy feat. Taking a few features into account can help when shopping for your body type and fit preference. Two style details to consider are the position of the back pockets and the design of the yoke. (The yoke is the V-shaped section at the back of the jeans that gives them a curved seat. Typically, the deeper the V, the more shapelier your bum will look.)
Luckily, when it comes to finding the butt-lifting jeans of your dreams, we've done some of the hard work for you. We looked at the top reviews and positive feedback of sculpting jeans from a plethora of retailers to bring you the 24 best pairs out there. Scroll below to find your perfect pair and see what reviewers say about them.
Rating: 4.9/5 stars
Customer Review: "I am 5'1", around 106 lbs with a small waist and wider hips, bum, and thighs, and these fit great in a size 26. It also tapers at the ankles, which I love, but because I am short, I do have to roll the hem up a couple of times. Levi's quality is top-notch (they wash super well), and I am a fan of the button-fly front. These are high-waisted on my petite frame, though the waistband rests right around my belly button, so not quite at my true waist. I'd buy all colors of the Wedgie-style jeans if I could; they are perfect for us pear-shaped gals." — Shopbop reviewer
Rating: 5/5 stars
Customer Review: "I tried these on in store and immediately knew they would be my new favorite jeans. I'm a huge fan of Madewell denim and have mostly been wearing the perfect vintage wide-leg style. I think this '90s Straight might be my new favorite though! " — Madewell reviewer
Rating: 4.2/5 stars
Customer Review: "I love these jeans! They are so comfortable and cute. I love the cigarette cut, and the back pocket placement makes your butt look great!" — Nordstrom reviewer
Rating: 5/5 stars
Customer Review: "Love the fit and the ankle length. The wash is a nice medium blue hue." — Madewell reviewer
Style Tip: Show off your butt-lifting jeans by pairing them with a chic cropped blouse.
Rating: 4.3/5 stars
Customer Review: "YALL! MY BEHIND HAS NEVER LOOKED BETTER!!! Seriously though. These jeans are my absolute new favorites. The fit is so on-trend. Skinny but not too skinny. Honestly like the love child of skinny and straight. And they make your derrière look iconic. GET THESE JEANS." — Nordstrom reviewer
Rating: 3.6/5 stars
Customer Review: "Ninety percent of the time, I'm wearing jeans. These are, by far, the best fitting! The wide, thick, and stretchy waistband is comfortable without looking like grandma jeans. I'm larger in my middle, and these are quite slimming. I never get compliments on my jeans, and I've had several so far with these." — Good American reviewer
Rating: 4.6/5 stars
Customer Review: "Absolutely love the fit of those jeans! Super cute and flattering. I'm going to buy a 2nd pair because it never fails that when I find a favorite item, it gets discontinued. Can be dressed up or down. Got my usual size and they're plenty roomy, they don't run small." — Madewell reviewer
Rating: 4.5/5 stars
Customer Review: "These jeans are the perfect fit. They hug nicely in all the right areas of the body and accentuate and complement one's natural shape very nicely. I have a somewhat pear shape to my body, so the high waist complements my curves beautifully as well. They are super comfortable and have a stretch-like quality to them. The distressed denim gives you the ability to play a lot with your looks. These are officially my new favorite jeans." — H&M reviewer
Rating: 4.3/5 stars
Customer Review: "These jeans fit me perfectly and are a lot more comfortable than I expected given that they have no stretch to them. They are classic, button fly, structured jeans. I'm 5'4", and they hit perfect above the ankle. The extra high-rise and 'butt booster' really delivers!" — Everlane reviewer
Rating: 4.6/5 stars
Customer Review: "I lift weights 3-5 days a week. I have for over a year now, and I have the thighs and butt to prove it (which is great) but try looking for pants that fit. I'm also 6 feet tall, which further complicates things. However, since finding the Madewell Curvy line, I've been in denim heaven. These jeans are particularly beautiful—the waist is flattering, and my butt isn't squished flat. My thighs and calves fit without leaving indentions along where the seams lie, despite the fact that they're skinny jeans. I love the weight of the denim. They'll be great for fall and winter, plus the color is beautiful." — Madewell reviewer
Style Tip: A simple button-down shirt and heels will draw more attention to your assets.
Rating: 4.6/5 stars
Customer Review: "Amazing fit! These jeans fit me perfectly. It's difficult for me to find good fitting jeans with a slim waist and very curvy hip area, but these jeans delivered." — Gap reviewer
Rating: 4.8/5 stars
Customer Review: "These jeans are so incredibly flattering and hold their shape. A lot of other denim I own seems fine but then completely lose their shape after a few hours—not these! They look amazing and make my waist look so tiny." — Favorite Daughter reviewer
Rating: 4.3/5 stars
Customer Review: "These are the perfect black jeans I've been searching for with a high waist that's not too high. They fit so good on the butt." — Nordstrom reviewer
Rating: 4.4/5 stars
Customer Review: "Well finally a pair of jeans that flatter my crazy shape. Soft and comfortable. Love the split at the side. They are long so a cute boot with a two-inch heel looks marvelous. Eloquii, you got it right for my size 16 body with juicy thighs and 5'7" height. They fit right in between the thighs and butt. Love, love, love my jean." — Eloquii reviewer
Style Tip: You can never go wrong with a basic white tee and high-waisted denim.
Rating: 5/5 stars
Customer Review: "They make your bum look fabulous! Expensive but worth it." — Nordstrom reviewer
Rating: 4.8/5 stars
Customer Review: "If you have been searching for jeans that go with every shoe, look no further. These jeans somehow go with Chelsea boots, loafers, sneakers, high heels—you name it! Finally, I can go on a weekend trip and only pack one pair of jeans. I am so excited to have found these!" — Nordstrom reviewer
Rating: 4.8/5 stars
Customer Review: "I've always had a hard time finding perfect jeans, but these are it! Perfect fit at the waist and butt with none of the gapping I usually get with jeans. The length is super long and does require being hemmed, but it's more than worth it." — Favorite Daughter reviewer
Rating: 4.5/5 stars
Customer Review: "I'm 5'8" [and] 155-160 lbs with a big bottom and thicker thighs, and these jeans fit like a glove. I've worn them several times since I got them, and they loosened a little, but they still fit perfectly. Size down one." — Revolve reviewer
Style Tip: For a relaxed date-night look, add a fanciful tube top to a pair of butt-framing rigid denim.
Rating: 4.3/5 stars
Customer Review: "Those are fantastic jeans. Very soft and comfortable. They make your bum look so sexy. Highly recommend." — Levi's reviewer
Rating: 4.5/5 stars
Customer Review: "Levi's makes the best jeans IMO. These ones are my absolute all-time favorite. Very comfortable, molds into your body, gives you shape, and emphasizes only the right places. It's true to size and the shade of blue is just perfect." — Nordstrom reviewer
Rating: 4.4/5 stars
Customer Review: "Really comfortable and a nice fit. I have been searching for a pair of wide-leg jeans that aren't too wide, and these were perfect." — Abercrombie & Fitch reviewer
Rating: 4.2/5 stars
Customer Review: "I've been buying Madewell and Good American for a few years now but decided to give these a try, and I am so glad I did. They're soft, stretchy, and make my butt look great. 10/10 recommend! Fit true to size." — Nordstrom reviewer
Style Tip: For a head-to-toe sculpted look, style your jeans with a fitted second-skin top.
Rating: 5/5 stars
