If you were to take a tour of my closet right now, you would find that I own a slew of jeans in different styles and washes and not much else. It would not be an understatement to say that I collect them, so I consider myself something of an expert when it comes to finding the best stretch jeans on the market.
Don't get me wrong—I love rigid jeans, too. But stretchy denim tends to be a bit more comfortable as you wear it throughout the day. The inclusion of materials like spandex in even just small amounts gives the denim a more relaxed look and often makes your favorite jeans look just a little tighter, even after you've worn them a few times. Even better, they snap back into their original form after a quick run through the wash.
Luckily, the word "stretch" is no longer exclusively synonymous with skinny jeans. If you're a devout fan of jeans that have little to no give and are looking to convert to the stretchier side of things, shop for styles that come in the traditional straight-leg shape that you know and love before expanding into other alternatives like bootcut or flared versions.
Whichever style you choose, you're about to find a pair of jeans that you actually won't want to take off at the end of the day. Keep scrolling to shop the internet's favorite options below and to read real-life testimonials from the very people who have given them top reviews.
