No two women were created the same, so it really comes as no surprise that every time we go shopping for denim, it can be a difficult — occasionally nearly impossible — process. We searched the market and pulled together the most flattering jeans for those with big butts as well as those with a flatter silhouette. Now, we're addressing another common fit issue, this time involving thighs.

For women with muscular thighs, we feel your pain. When there's a disparity between your thighs and waist, what you often end up with is a pair of jeans you can shimmy up your legs only to end up with a huge gap when you zip and snap. On the flip side, slipping on jeans that fit your waist but not your thighs is a problem, too.

We turned to the denim pros from Levi’s, AG, Good American and more, who have wrangled their picks for the best jeans for women with larger thighs. The results? Wide-leg flares and those made of a special stretch denim should be your go-to options. Below, shop our guide to the best jeans for the woman with larger thighs.
