Wide-leg denim is great option to replace trousers. The silhouette flatters (the wide hem balances hips) and the darker hem feels modern.

Bootcut jeans get a bad rap sometimes. And we don't know why! These jeans skim the thigh and flare out slightly after the knee for a flattering shape. Anytime you can balance out your hips to create a more streamlined look, it's a great thing! A darker wash also adds a sophisticated feel.

Coated denim can be a little tricky. You don't want a pair that clings too tight, as it can create unflattering lines. Instead, go for a pair that has a great "faux-leather look" and be sure it has streatch. The stretch of the material will hug your curves perfectly.

Let's start off by screaming "Universal Standard has some of the best denim for women with curves EVER!" Time and time again the brand's denim has been praised for its incredible fit.
