If you’re familiar with our Top 10 denim content, you might have met Everlane’s Cheeky Jean before. In one form or another, they’ve made an appearance on a handful of our lists, including the best black and ankle-length jeans. All this to say, they’ve got street cred.

EXTRA DETAILS
ISO butt-lifting jeans? These are some of the best options on the list, all due to a few thoughtful, backside-flattering features such as a raised back-hook seam and Everlane’s Happy Pockets (which are set high and close together to create a lifted look).

WHY YOU'LL LOVE THEM
Considering their under-$50 price tag, these jeans have a lot going for them. Reviewers say they're some of the most tummy-flattering jeans out there (you can thank Old Navy's genius slimming pockets for that one), plus, they're made with Never-Fade technology to keep the wash as inky as ever.

ADDITIONAL DETAILS
These are available in short, regular, and long sizes, so you won't need to worry about getting them hemmed.

You’ve probably known of Lee all your life, but if you haven’t, we’ll catch you up: They’ve been crafting denim since 1889, and based on the 8,000+ five-star reviews these best-selling boyfriend jeans have, they might have perfected it.

To top it all off, these are made with denim that hugs the body but bounces back like a pro—aka no bagginess by the end of the day.

Self-described as “retro chic,” MOTHER has been creating some of the most flattering jeans for women since their inception by denim industry pros Lela Becker and Tim Kaeding. Their Insider Crop Step Fray Flared Jeans are beloved for their asymmetrical ankle-length hems and worn-in feel.

EXTRA DETAILS
Although the addition of elastane provides some stretch, reviewers mention that these jeans run small, so consider ordering a size up if you’re between two options.

Speaking of street cred, AGOLDE also tends to make an appearance in our denim-related content. One factor that’s likely driving that is their ability to transform USA-made premium indigo into effortlessly cool, vintage-inspired styles like this exact pair.

Everlane’s Way High Jean is that one pair of boyfriend jeans your friends will be pining to borrow. From the rainbow of color options to the slimming high waist to the frayed ends, you’ll be hard-pressed to find a top that doesn’t look great with them.

The organic denim has a little stretch that adds to the comfortable fit.

In the wide world of denim, Levi’s 501s are iconic. They’re one of the brand’s most popular styles, and we probably don’t need to remind you that Levi’s themselves are pretty ubiquitous in American culture. The skinny version of the 501s is high-waisted with high-quality, medium-stretch fabric and a butt-lifting backside, all of which come together to make them a best-selling pair of jeans.

EXTRA DETAILS
Although Nordstrom says these run true to size, some reviewers mention having to size up, so we suggest taking a good long look at the size chart before making a purchase.
