If you’re anything like me, there’s nothing that fills you with more dread than shopping for jeans.
An ordeal that most women choose to avoid, I was unfortunately faced with this very challenge after a long summer filled with (too many )ice creams. To make things less traumatic, I decided to call upon our faithful Instagram community, asking for their suggestions for the best jeans for women in their thirties.
Thankfully – and true to form – they delivered, making the whole process far more bearable. To help remove some of the sweat and tears of the annual jeans shop, I’ve therefore decided to share the love with 14 of the most popular suggestions of the best jeans for women in 2024.
1. Mango Catherin Culotte Jeans – £35.99
On my annual pilgrimage to buy some new jeans for autumn, I was determined not to default to my usual ‘Mom’ style. After scouring the shops, I came across the Mango Catherin Culotte Jeans and it was love at first sight.
They are incredibly flattering on the bum and I like how the slight flare at the bottom evens out my top half (I have no hips). Sizing wise, I think they’re pretty true to size – I am a size 10 and they fit perfectly.
2. Joules Mid Blue Straight Fit Jeans – £59.95
The second pair of best jeans for women in 2024 are the Joules Mid Blue Straight Fit Jeans.
Simple, high-waisted and in a ‘Mom’ style (I know, I can’t resist them), these will be my go-to, day-to-day jeans for autumn 2024. They are more expensive than I’d usually pay for a pair of jeans, but they are incredibly soft and well-fitting, so I’m happy to invest.
3. M&S The Mom Jeans – £39.50
I’ve been wearing the M&S ‘Mom’ jeans for a few years now and they are my trusty, comfy jeans that seem to last and keep their shape.
I think the sizing can come up a little big at M&S, so I’d advise you try on a few pairs before committing. I usually wait to buy my jeans from M&S when there’s an offer on, using my Sparks Card. I find that there’s usually a couple of offers a season, offering 20% off womens’ jeans.
These jeans were also a popular choice amongst our Instagram community, with women of all different heights and sizes loving the style and fit.
4. M&S High Waisted Carrot Leg Ankle Grazer – £39.50
When I picked these up in M&S, I wasn’t expecting to like (or suit) the carrot leg ankle grazers, but I love them.
The high waist and slightly billowy style on the legs is really complimentary to most figures and I’m really pleased I gave them a try. At 38, it feels like I’m finally adding more to my wardrobe than just Mom jeans – and it feels pretty exhilarating.
5. M&S Lily Slim Fit £25.00
Another firm favourite in our Instagram DMs was the M&S Lily Slim Fit jeans. These seemed to suit most women and many said that the jeans kept a good shape. I really like these jeans and think they’d be perfect with a pair of pumps (which, Millenials, are back) in the autumn.
6. Abercrombie & Fitch Curve Love – £75 (currently in sale £39.99 – £49.99)
Next on the list of best jeans for women in 2024 are the Abercrombie & Fitch Curve Love jeans.
These were one of the most popular choices on Instagram amongst our community, with women saying that they loved the different styles of the design. Feedback was generally that the styles are great with those with smaller waists but bigger hips/thighs, as well as the Straight Jean (below) being a great general fit.
7. Levi Ribcage – £100 – 110.00
Out of all the suggestions from our community for the best jeans for women in 2024, the Levi Ribcage range has to be my favourite.
There were endless suggestions for the Ribcage styles, and I have already set notifications on both Levi and ASOS for when the Straight Ankle Style is back in stock.
Women said they loved the fact that they fitted a smaller waist and bigger thighs, while others loved the high-rise and ‘belly coverage’ post baby.
They are pretty expensive, but as we all know, Levis last.
8. Zara Marine Jeans – £29.99
If you’re looking for a pair of slightly dressier jeans this autumn, try the Zara Marine Jeans.
Similar to the Mango jeans, these are high waisted with an ankle grazer, flared bottom. I did try these on in Zara but at 5ft 4, the style didn’t work well as the normal length was a little too long. So, if you’re of a similar height, you might want to try them on first.
As a positive, I think these jeans are a great price and a good contender for value for money in the list of best jeans for women in 2024.
9. New Look High Waist Cuff Mom Jeans – £29.99
I am obsessed by New Look jeans and think they fly under the radar when it comes to the best jeans for women (and best priced jeans).
I’ve been buying them for several years now, and think the price is brilliant considering the quality and durability. Although I have many styles in my wardrobe, my favourite are the High Waist Cuff Mom Jeans.
Again, these are great for winter to team with a jumper or knitted cardigan, and I find that they don’t overstretch in the day (the most irritating feeling, when you’re having to pull your trousers up all day!)
10. Stradivarius Mom Slim – £22.99
If you’re looking to creep away from skinny jeans, but still want a slim fit, the Stradivarius Mom Slim jeans are a brilliant option.
These were recommended by over 50 people on Instagram, and although I’d never considered Stradivarius jeans before, I am definitely a new fan. I think the price is great for the style and I’ve already ordered a pair to try on.
11. Topshop Jamie Jeans – £42.00 (ASOS)
I’m not sure I know a single woman who hasn’t owned a pair of Topshop Jamie jeans at some point in her life. An oldie but a goodie, Jamie jeans are my loyal companion and the high-rise style are my go-to for busy weekends with my 3-year old.
Unlike other high-rise skinny jeans, I find the Jamie jeans don’t need hoisting up every 5 minutes as they become looser over the course of the day. I can also comfortably eat a dinner in them, without having to pop open the top button.
12. George at Asda Miley Mom Jeans – £17
A popular supermarket contender for best jeans for women 2024 were the George at Asda Miley Mom Jeans. Coming in at just £17, these are a brilliant option for a well-priced but well-designed pair of jeans.
These jeans were suggested by women of varying heights and sizes, and seem to be a good all-rounder.
13. Next Stretch Mom Jeans – £30.00
I must admit that I’ve steered clear of Next for jeans – incorrectly assuming that their clothing was a little too traditional or often on the big side. Having recently popped into the store, however, to pick up some clothes for my daughter, I spied so many things I wanted to add to my basket, including these jeans.
These Next Stretch Mom Jeans are super soft and (you guessed it) stretchy and are a great option for autumn, to wear with a chunky jumper and trainers or boots.
14. Uniqlo Wide Straight Jeans – £34.90
Finally, for those looking for a baggier style, the Uniqlo Wide Straight Jeans were another popular suggestion over on Instagram. As someone with no hips and quite narrow, I think these might flood me, but for anyone a little taller with a waist, I think these are a great option.
