I'm a Size 16, and These Are the Curvy Jeans I Swear By

by Sierra Mayhew

While online shopping is the ultimate luxury, many items are much easier to shop for in person. Denim is high on that list. Sizing can be tricky, especially when you are curvy and looking for the style that flatters you the most. There are so many cuts and styles to choose from, and every body type is different.

Good American just had its Open Casting, an annual initiative that sets out to find new talent that is diverse and inclusive. We tapped Ketara Milian, one of the winners, who is a size 16, to help us find the best denim styles for curvy body types. She told us, "Finding good jeans as a plus-size woman can be equivalent to going through an obstacle course." To save you the work, Milian did the digging. Below, she shares her picks for the best denim styles for curvy women.

"The denim that makes me look in the mirror twice! Accentuates my curves, [is] tall girl friendly, and I can wear them to castings or a night out." — Milian
