4. Volcom
Why are Volcom’s jeans, which often cost as little as $34, so flattering? Abbe Allen, Global Senior Designer of Volcom, breaks it down for us by style:
Volcom Vol Stone Jeans ($38.99)
“This is our Girlfriend fit, a sexier version of the “mom” jean,” Abbe explains. “It features a high-rise waist with a fitted rear, as well as a body-skimming knee to leg opening.”
Volcom Liberator Leggings ($34.99, down from $59.50)
“This is our skinniest fit. It has a low-rise waist and slightly higher back,” which are universally flattering, Abbe says.
5. Diane Gilman
She’s not known as “The Jean Queen” for no reason. Diane’s denim is cut for the every woman and comes in a forever-forgiving stretch.

“These will be the most conforming, soft and comfortable jean you’ve ever had on your body,” Diane exclusively tells SheFinds. “These jeans stretch, the fabric has softness and recovery with shaping for a real woman’s body. You’ve got the most flattering jean you’ve ever owned!”
