There are several things to look out for when purchasing a new pair of jeans. Are they comfortable? That's very important. Do they have a versatile wash? Another deal-breaker. And how about the price tag? Though women's jeans can get very expensive—and fast—sometimes, they're worth the splurge, especially when you know you'll be wearing them nonstop. But there's one other possible design element that you may not have thought about, but once you try it out, you'll never go back: I'm talking about tummy-control jeans that are seriously game-changing.
Tummy-control jeans are exactly what the name suggests. They're designed with built-in panels at the waistline that control from within if that's of interest. Ahead, I rounded up the best tummy-control jeans on the market.
