I am a contributor who has been writing for BuzzFeed Shopping for over two years with an emphasis on home goods, parenting items and toys, beauty products, and anything that can make your day-to-day life run a little smoother.

Unless otherwise specified, all sizes in this post are listed in women's.

1. Embellished straight-leg jeans to add a little extra ~pizzazz~ to your perfect-stretch jeans game. Reviewers rave that these are compliment-grabbing without being waist-strangling, so be sure to stock up on more than one color!

www.amazon.com, www.amazon.com

Promising review: "These jeans are hands-down the best pair I’ve owned in a long time. The fit is unreal, and they hug in all the right places without feeling too tight or restrictive. They’re structured and high-waisted enough to smooth everything out, but still have that perfect amount of stretch so I can move around comfortably all day (which is saying a lot as a busy mom). The fabric feels high quality, not thin or flimsy, and they don’t lose their shape after wearing them for hours... I’ve already worn them dressed up with heels and dressed down with sneakers, and they look amazing either way. Definitely ordering another pair. Five stars all the way." —Chrissy Piccirilli

Get them from Amazon for$44.98+(available in sizes XS–XXL and five colors).

2. Some classic mid-rise skinny jeans ready to show off your fall boot and sneaker collection without making you feel like you're being cut in half. You want perfect stretch everywhere, *especially* in skinny jeans that are touching so much of your legs.  

www.amazon.com, www.amazon.com

Promising review: "BEST PANTS EVER. I have been looking for an affordable, nice quality pant I can wear to work as a special-ed teacher for YEARS, and I have finally found it!!!!! They have the perfect amount of stretch, perfect length for petite girls, and SO comfy! I'm buying them in every color!" —Marissa

Get them from Amazon for$18.90+(available in sizes 0–20, with short and long length options, and 11 colors/washes).

3. Or a pair of distressed skinny jeans for similar vibes but with a little grunge thrown in. 

www.amazon.com, www.amazon.com

Promising review: "I love these jeans! They give the perfect amount of stretch so they're comfy. Stylish look, too." —WilliB8121

Get them from Amazon for $23.79+ (available in sizes 4–18 and nine washes).

4. A pair of tapered jeans reviewers love because they stay snug after wearing them several times and for their close-to-the-body-but-not-suffocating silhouette. 

www.amazon.com, www.amazon.com

Promising reviews: "As always, the perfect fit. There’s just the right amount of stretch in the jeans to make them comfortable without having a 'stretchy' look." —Patti Danks

"Perfect jeans! Perfect stretch, and are not see-through at all! Amazing white denim choice!" —Marci P.

Get them from Amazon for$19.99+(available in sizes 2–24, with short and long length options, and lots of colors/washes).

5. Some Madewell wide-leg airy denim because if you haven't already gotten on the Madewell denim train, just know that they have a deeply devoted following for a reason. They just make clothes really... well? Well!

Madewell

Promising review: "I bought this last month and it’s the perfect jean to dress up or down. Stretch is so comfortable." —PurseAppreciation

Get them from Madewell for $148+ (available in sizes 23–33, limited plus sizes 14W–24W, petite, short, and tall fits, and three washes). 

6. A pair with a wide-leg, four-button design so you can give the tired ol' zippers a break and try a new way to button-up your 'fits instead. 

www.amazon.com, www.amazon.com

Promising review: "These jeans are fantastic! I can wear them with a heel or wear them with a flat, and it works beautifully. They look great on me. They fit around the waist, they fit around the legs, they look so put together. The perfect amount of stretch. I’m buying in more colors." —mary cornell

Get them from Amazon for $35.99+ (available in sizes 4–18 and 14 colors).

7. Levi's pull-on skinny jeans if you like a lil' support and stretch in your denim. (*Raises hand.*)

Amazon, www.amazon.com

Promising review: "Perfect amount of stretch — my new favorites :) Very comfortable!!!! Look good, too! I like to roll skinny jeans a couple of times. Some may think they are too long for a shorter person, but good for me :)" —April

Get them from Amazon for $27.99+ (available in sizes 2–28, with short and long length options, and 11 washes).

8. Classic bootcut jeans just in time to dust off your fave fall and winter boots and show them off without a bunch of tight fabric getting in the way. These boots *and* denim were made for walkin', y'all. 

www.amazon.com, www.amazon.com

Promising reviews: "I am very picky about my clothes since I'm a bigger girl and have sensory issues. I have tried on probably 10 different pairs of pants over the last three days ordered from Amazon. These are the only ones that actually fit in all the right places. I wanted something I could be comfortable in at work, so the stretch in the band is perfect. The length is on point; they actually reach the ground (which is a common issue I have with most pants). I love these! Definitely a staple I will be keeping in my wardrobe." —Matt Dawson

"The size is spot on, maybe a smidge loose around the waist, but that doesn’t bother me. I love how the material is not rough, and the overall color has not faded. The fit conforms to my body... the perfect amount of stretch to help keep everything in place." —Katie D.

Get them on Amazon for $39.99+ (available in sizes 0—20 and 20 washes). 

9. Some Universal Standard twisted leg jeans that'll take your 'fits to the next level, no matter your desired vibe. I love how these vary so much from wash to wash, even though they're the same pants. So, if you find these as comfy as the reviewers, maybe go ahead and grab a couple of different colors.

Universal Standard

Universal Standard is SUPER size inclusive (Yay!!), but be sure to check the size charts because they tend to run a little differently than other brands. These jeans, for example, tend to run larger, but it's always good policy to check the size chart for individual products. 

Promising review: "I love these jeans. The stretch is the perfect amount. The color is great. Order was easy to complete." —Lauren R.

Get them from Universal Standard for $158+ (available in sizes 00–40 and five washes). 

10. A pair of loose-fitting, wide-leg jeans to go perfectly with that slouchy knit cardigan you've been eyeing.

www.amazon.com, www.amazon.com

These jeans aren't *specifically* designed to be stretchy, but reviewers say they have just the right amount of give in the waistband. Just be sure to consult the size chart for the specific style you want!

Promising review: "My new favorite jeans :) Love them :) Tad bit loose on my waist, but that’s normal. I have a small waist but thick thighs. Super comfy and has the perfect amount of stretch. Definitely buying more." —Rebekah Cardelli

Get them from Amazon for $34.99+ (available in sizes XS–XL and nine washes). 

11. Some Dickies carpenter jeans not just for the woodworking humans, but any human that values comfort and stretch in their day-to-day lives. Ron Swanson quotes optional (but always encouraged, duh).

www.amazon.com, www.amazon.com

Promising reviews: "I am so happy I discovered these pants. I wear them under overalls when painting, and I wear them when working for clients. They are very durable and perfect amount of stretch. Perfect amount of pockets for my phone, tape measure, knife, and there is a hammer loop. The knees have extra material. The perfect work pant." —Danielle L. Romero

Get it from Amazon for $40.82+ (available in sizes 2–16 and three colors).

12. A pair of Levi's Wedgie straight jeans I am pleased to say are misnamed because while they do NOT (I repeat, do NOT) give you wedgies. They *are* nicely structured without making you want to rip them off the moment you get home.

Melanie Aman / BuzzFeed, www.amazon.com, Ashley Schumacher/BuzzFeed

Consider sizing up if you'd like a less snug fit! 

Promising review: "Grab these while you can!!! These have the perfect amount of stretch (but not too much where by the end of the day they are sagging). I’m short, so for me, the length is perfect. It’s been hard for me to find a good pair of jeans... These are officially my favorite! I will be buying another pair for sure." —danielle

Get them from Amazon for $47.70 (available in sizes 24–34 and 15 styles).

13. Some Torrid Bombshell high-rise wide-leg jeans so you can try out a new silhouette if you're like me and mostly stick to straight-legged looks. These can elevate even your most laundered concert tee, but they also look like the 'fit you'd see the chic humans at the office party wearing. It's you. You are the chic human, now.

Torrid

Promising review: "These jeans are amazing!... They have the perfect amount of stretch. They are comfy and fit great!! My new favorite jeans!" —Laurie K

www.amazon.com, www.amazon.com

Promising review: "I am an ‘Apple’ figure, and can rarely buy jeans online because the waist is always too tight, or if they fit my waist, is baggy everywhere else. The stretch in the waistband in these jeans was perfect, and the legs are still skinny!" —Mrs Ferg

Get it from Amazon for $35.99+ (available in sizes XXS–5XL and 18 styles).

15. A pair of Gloria Vanderbilt straight-leg jeans: Listen, I see a lot of jeans for my job, and these are consistently beloved across platforms for being comfy *and* durable. You can't go wrong, and there are tons of washes to choose from to fit your vibe. 

www.amazon.com, www.amazon.com

Promising reviews: "Great jeans, run true to size, just a touch of stretch is perfect, very durable and comfy." —Sandi

"These are the best pants!! Everything is absolutely perfect. The fit is great, and it’s a comfy stretch rather than feeling glued on. Great length and style, and good quality." —Erin P

Get them from Amazon for $19.85+ (available in sizes 2–18, with short and long length options, and tons of washes).

16. A pair of Lee bootcut jeans for that Lee look ~with a little flare~ to perfectly accentuate your Uggs. 

www.amazon.com, www.amazon.com

Promising reviews: "Amazing fit contours perfectly with curves, soft but solid, thick fabric (not cheap, thin, flimsy material). It has a little stretch that is perfect, but not like tights/leggings that some flex jeans have — these do not, they are true jeans! I have to buy another pair or two because I love the fit." —Amazon Customer

"We all know how difficult it could be to buy jeans, especially online. I found a great pair! The perfect amount of stretch that gives you mobility, and although they were bootcut, they are not overly wide at the bottom. I will purchase more colors." —I'mchichi

Get them from Amazon for $33.99+ (available in sizes 0–18, short, regular, and long, and 11 washes)

Get them from Amazon for $12.80+ (available in sizes XS–XXL, short and regular, and 12 colors and washes).

19. A pair of Democracy denim jeggings that is pretty much a bare necessity of your wardrobe — especially if you're going for a "I'd rather be in pajama pants, but I want to still *look* put together" vibe.

Promising review: "These are one of my favorites — love the tummy control. They are really comfy with the perfect amount of stretch. They could be longer, but I’m tall, so it’s whatever. They make your bum look good, so that’s a plus, too." —HMart
