Jeans started off as pants for those whose work demanded tough clothing. Now they’re ubiquitous in all walks of life. That doesn’t mean that today’s casual jeans can slack off, though. We women want jeans that work just as hard for us. They should be comfortable, stylish, do wonders for our figures, and not cost an entire paycheck. That’s not too much to ask, right?
From the original jeans company, Levi’s 512 Perfectly Slimming jeans are definitely made with the needs of the modern woman in mind: bootcut to balance out hips and thighs, at-the-waist rise to avoid both muffin tops and belly pooch, a dark black wash to further slim the look, and — best of all — a built in slimming tummy panel. No wonder the online reviews have been so stellar!
And, this being The Bargain Queens and all, they also happen to be on sale! They’re now $31.99, down from a $44 list priced. They are even eligible for two promotions: a free subscription to Lucky, TeenVogue, or GQ, and free shipping on orders of $70 or more. Talk about a sweet deal!

If I could only have one pair of jeans, this would be it.
These Ginger jeans in Naples wash from 7 for All Mankind are figure flattering, modern, and easily dressed up.
The 9″ rise is neither too low or too high; it’s made to sit on the hips. The 35″ inseam is perfect for when you want to wear heels or boots, or can be easily hemmed. The trouser style also makes them easily dressed up, while the the wide leg opening balances out wide hips.
Perhaps the best part though is that Naples wash. It’s a deep navy without distressing, so it’s slimming, dressy, and always ‘in’.
Or, maybe the best part is that they’re now half off — $87.50 instead of $175! Ground shipping is free to the U.S., but these jeans ship worldwide.
Sizes 24-28 available.

One minute it’s trouser jeans that are in, the next minute it’s wide-leg jeans. If you’ve got great legs, though, flaunt them any time with a perfect pair of super sexy skinny jeans.
These cigarette-style Recessive Gene jeans from Genetic Denim are just the ticket. They are celebrity tested for hotness, and thanks to a 50% discount, you don’t have to be an A-lister to grab a pair. They’re now $110, down from $220.
Or for a darker blue, grab this pair in the same style for $198.
Sizes 26-30 available; ships worldwide.

It’s no wonder that Earnest Sewn jeans are worn by Heidi Klum, Courtney Cox, Mischa Barton and other celebrities: these jeans are super sexy.
You could pay around $200 for a pair at sites like ShopBop.com, but we’ve found two great pairs for just $49.
The Earnest Sewn Viceroy 74 jeans in Arion are a trouser style in a dark wash that are easily dressed up for an evening out. For an edgier casual look, try the Earnest Sewn Hefner jeans. They’re a low-rise bootcut in a lighter wash with distress/destroy detailing.
Available in sizes 24-31; ships worldwide.

Flattering jeans don’t have to cost a packet.
These budget-friendly Levi’s 515 bootcut jeans are ultra-flattering for ladies with curves.
The waistband is low enough to lengthen your torso, but higher than ultra-low-rise jeans so they shouldn’t cause muffin top. The dark wash slims your legs; the bootcut balances your hips; and the hint of spandex helps them mould to your body.
In fact, their cut is remarkably similar to Seven For All Mankind Bootcuts — but without the premium denim price tag. These are just US$34.99!
Sizes 4-18; ships to U.S., U.S. protectorates and Canada.

A staple of rock chicks and models, skinny jeans are a sassy way to show of your legs — and despite their name, they’re not just for super skinny gals.
They look great paired with voluminous tops or under some dresses instead of leggings. They’re also perfect if you like to tuck your jeans into boots. These Shio Juniors Dark Stretch Denim Skinny Jeans are especially nice because of their dark indigo wash: a great, slimming colour to make your legs look even longer.
At $23.98, they’re 59% off. Available in sizes 24-28; ships to US only.
