I'm a Size 16—These Are the Curvy Jeans I Swear By

While online shopping is the ultimate luxury, there are many items that are much easier to shop for in person. Denim is high up on that list. Sizing can be tricky, especially when you are curvy and looking for the style that flatters you the most. There are so many cuts and styles to choose from, and every body type is different. 

Good American just had its Open Casting, an annual initiative that sets out to find new talent that is both diverse and inclusive. We tapped one of the winners—Ketara Milian, who is a size 16—for help in finding the best denim styles for curvy body types. She told us, "Finding good jeans as a plus-size woman can be equivalent to going through an obstacle course." Milian did the digging so you don't have to. Below, she shares her picks for the best denim styles for curvy women.

1. High-Waisted Jeans

"My personal staple—it complements my hourglass figure, sits perfectly at my waist, and can be found in so many other denim styles." — Milian

Shop:

The subtle distressing at the pockets makes for a very nice touch.

We've heard so many people rave about these jeans, and we're ready to try them for ourselves.
