Despite the name, the best tummy control jeans aren’t something that should restrain you in any way – nor are they something you should feel the need to own. Think of them instead in a similar regard to shapewear; nice to have when you need that confidence boost, but certainly not a necessity.
On those rare occasions that you want some extra support or a smoother appearance around your mid-section, tummy control jeans are a nifty solution. And, good news, there are actually some really chic styles.
Like the denim silhouettes that have lined the runways as of late (see Loewe, Moschino and Rokh), the best tummy control jeans have one thing in common: a supremely high waist. Sort of a given – as how else will they do their job? – their shaping technology starts from the hips and works all the way up to the waistband, providing a flawless finish that’ll help you to feel a little bit more secure. Should you feel you need it.
The best tummy control jeans 2024
There’s no denying the dread every woman faces when going jeans shopping. While one pair of wide-leg jeans may look sensational on your mate, you might feel like they utterly drown you, and if a pair of mom jeans fits you like a glove, they’re unlikely to also fit her. Why? Every body is different – we know this much by now.
So if a pair of tummy control jeans eases the whole process for you, and you find that, actually, they fit your body shape far better than anything else on the market does, then that’s exactly where you should invest. Clothes are meant to fit you, remember, not the other way round.
