8 Best Tummy-Control Jeans That Smooth and Support Your Stomach

Why we love them: These have the same medium compression as the other Spanx pairs I tried, but the fit is completely different with these flared jeans. The super high-rise waistband has built-in compressive tummy-control panels that smooth and support my stomach, while the pull-on design keeps the front completely sleek and free of bumps. The four-way stretch fabric moves with me in every direction, so they never feel stiff or restrictive. My midsection pooch looks visibly flatter, my butt gets a subtle lift, and the slight flare makes my legs look extra long. They hold their shape throughout the day, which isn’t the case with all stretch jeans, and feel surprisingly comfortable given the targeted tummy control. I appreciate the range of lengths (petite included) and inclusive sizing. That said, they run small. I’m typically a large but wear an XL here, so it’s worth trying a couple sizes to get the right fit. Back pockets and belt loops are functional, even though the front isn’t.

Styling tip: Lean into the boho flared look by pairing these jeans with a lacy blouse.

Best for Everyday Wear: Levi’s 318 Wide-Leg Shaping Jeans

Why we love them: These best-selling Levi’s are an excellent everyday pair of jeans if you want a bit of smoothing without restriction. The built-in front panel offers light support through the midsection, but they still look and feel like classic jeans. The wide-leg silhouette is relaxed without being overly baggy, and the fit is slightly snug through the hips and thighs, which helps define your shape. The fabric has a soft stretch with good recovery, so they move with you and hold their shape throughout the day. They’re widely loved for their comfortable, flattering fit across a range of body shapes, including curvy.
