By Stacy Zeiger , last updated November 19, 2011

Since plus size women, like all women, want to look their best, they need access to high quality designer jeans. The best five retailers of plus size designer jeans offer a wide selection of styles for plus size women to choose from. Many of the jeans are designed exclusively for plus size women, since their curves and needs in jeans often differ from women of other sizes.

Lane Bryant, a retailer that specializes in plus size clothing from women size 12 through 28, has a large selection of designer jeans for women to choose from. Plus size women will find wide-leg trouser jeans from DKNY and jeans in flare and bootcut styles, some that offer the popular worn-in look, from Seven7. In addition to those designers, Lane Bryant offers its own line of high-quality jeans designed just for plus size women. Many of Lane Bryant’s jeans are designed using Right Fit Technology. With Right Fit Technology, women choose from three styles designed to fit their individual body types, such as “straight yellow” jeans that are designed to keep pants from being baggy through the hips and legs or “red curvy” jeans designed to prevent sagging at the waistband and gaping pockets by working with a woman’s curves.

Torrid offers plus size fashion aimed at teenagers and young adults. Many of Torrid’s denim options come in trendy styles, from skinny jeans, straight leg jeans and bootleg jeans designed with a slim fit. Torrid has its own line of designer denim jeans, but also carries a selection of denim from other popular designers. Designers featured at Torrid include Source of Wisdom, Dickies Girls, Vigoss, Silver Jeans, Z. Cavaricci Couture and Tripp NYC. Plus size women will find jeans in different shades of denim to complement multiple looks, including a large selection of black denim jeans. For those who like the distressed or worn-in look, Torrid also has a lot of jeans to choose from.
