Finding the right pair of jeans is like discovering a hidden treasure. I usually try on so many pairs before deciding on the ones I like best. The past few years, I’ve been loving the GRLFRND brand denim from Revolve, and seem to reach for the same 3 pairs all the time!
Since I already road-tested these and know what looks best for bodies over 45 (hello, thicker waist line), I thought it would be helpful if I featured my Glow Girl Certified favorites and the jeans that did not make the cut. Keep reading to see my best picks and what makes them special. I also show you my returns from the brand so that you can avoid shopping them (unless you are a size 0 and have a very narrow waist 😉).
I believe in embracing fashion that makes me feel confident and authentic so the three jeans below fit the bill. They each hug in all the right places, have the most up-to-date cuts and are super comfy. No muffin tops allowed here!
1. Blue Wash Low-Rise Boyfriend
Every denim collection needs a classic blue pair, and for me, it's these Blue Low Rise Boyfriend jeans by GRLFRND. I Iove these jeans. They are the epitome of laid-back cool, offering the perfect balance between comfort and style. The lived-in feel gives them a vintage charm that I adore. They make your tush look tiny and never tight on the waist. I like to pair them with a lady jacket, simple tee or sweater for an effortless, cool-girl vibe. They look great with everything from boots to pumps, loafers to sneakers.

2. Black Wash Low-Rise Relaxed Flare
These jeans offer the perfect blend of sophistication and comfort. The cut is more generous in the waist than most jeans this style and they seamlessly transition into a subtle flare, creating a flattering and stylish silhouette. These jeans elevate any outfit, making them perfect for a night out or a dinner with friends. Paired with a stylish blouse or fitted sweater, these are my go-to for edgy chic style. It’s important to make sure that you hem them ¼ inch from the ground to extend the length of your legs. I like to wear them with a pointy toe heel or boot for maximum style.

3. Black Low-Rise Boyfriend
There's something undeniably timeless about a classic pair of black jeans, and the Low-Rise Boyfriend by GRLFRND are super flattering. The relaxed fit gives off an effortlessly cool vibe, and the lower rise (hits right at belly button) adds a touch of modernity. Whether I'm running errands, heading to lunch or even dinner, these jeans are very versatile and take me from day to night. I also like to pair them with a fitted blazer for a polished look or a comfy oversized sweater for a laid-back vibe.
I also recently purchased these from Nili Lotan -they are the most flattering, comfortable and beautifully-cut jeans if you are looking for a splurge item that is a timeless classic! They are available HERE in every size!

These jeans did not hit the mark, either too tight in the waist or the fit was not great. At 59, my body has changed over the past decade so now I look for denim that offers a bit more stretch and is more forgiving. Style is always important, but comfort is king!
(you can pass on these even though they look great on the models)
