The 21 best black jeans for women

These high-rise, tapered jeans are beloved for their universally flattering fit, which highlights curves and gives your bum a boost. The five-pocket style hits just above the ankle and is perfect for pairing with ankle-length boots. Since they don't offer any stretch, it is recommended to size up in these jeans, which fit snug through the hip and thigh.

The best black jeans for women keep their deep black color long-term. For a high-rise skinny style that won't wash out despite laundering, we recommend Mott & Bow's power stretch version. It's crafted with fade-resistant technology to help the pants keep their color and shape — just turn them inside-out before tossing them in the wash.

When you're wearing high-rise jeans, a bit of extra stretch is always welcome. That's why this slim-fit style is one of our favorite pairs of high-waisted jeans: They're engineered for comfortable all-day stretch without gaping, dipping or any need for readjusting.

If you love rigid jeans, this high-rise option with destroyed knees is a great pick. Still, there's a bit of stretch at the waist to up the comfort just a bit. The retro-inspired mom jeans feature a design that's slim through the hip with a relaxed, tapered leg that skims the ankle at the bottom.

Spanx is one of our favorite brands for figure-flattering bottoms, and their denim collection is no exception. This button-less pull on style uses hidden core-shaping technology to smooth and shape your tummy area. The high-waisted flared pants hit at the natural waist to prevent spillage over the top, and they have a comfortable stretch throughout. Keep in mind that these run slightly small and long when picking a size.
