There's nothing like putting on an amazing pair of jeans that instantly transforms your look and boosts your confidence, but with so many styles, fits, and fabrics, finding the perfect pair of jeans that flatters your figure, contours your assets, and fits like a glove is not always an easy feat. Taking a few features into account can help when shopping for your body type and fit preference. Two style details to consider are the position of the back pockets and the design of the yoke. (The yoke is the V-shaped section at the back of the jeans that gives them a curved seat. Typically, the deeper the V, the shapelier your bum will look.)
Luckily, when it comes to finding the butt-lifting jeans of your dreams, we've done some of the hard work for you. We looked at the top reviews and positive feedback of sculpting jeans from a plethora of retailers to bring you the 25 best pairs out there. Scroll below to find your perfect pair and see what reviewers say about them.

These classic Levi's jeans are some of the best I own, period. The rigid denim and straight-line silhouette make everything look extra great from behind, and since they're just under $100, the cost-per-wear rate on these makes them practically free.
This L.A. label has been one of my go-to pairs for a minute. When you're looking for great sculpting jeans, make sure you opt for a pair that's a bit stiffer than usual to smooth out all lines and make your figure look great. Try them on in person, if you can!
No words can describe this editor-approved pair I added to my closet a few months back. If you're wondering whether they're worth the price tag, I can confidentially say they fully are.

Customer Review: "These are literally the best Levi’s and when you get the right fit these make your booty look amazing! As for this style, they run true to size, but like most Levi’s you need to try them on, so I always go with my true size, one size down, and one size up! 10 out of 10 you will find the perfect fit! Make sure they fit tight because they will form to your body and stretch a bit. This specific style looks good with sneakers, boots, sandals or heels! Ordering a second pair to keep in rotation." — Nordstrom reviewer

Customer Review: "Length is fantastic, fit is perfection. I have a very small waist, very wide hips and these look and feel incredible. Size is true to size. I love the thick weave specifically of the Norman wash. doesn’t stain, doesn’t show lines, it’s all around perfect." — Madewell reviewer
Rating: 4.3/5 stars
Customer Review: "These jeans are really comfortable. I love the wash and detail on the back of the jeans. I’m usually a 28-29 in jeans and ordered the 6 in these and they fit perfectly." — Nordstrom reviewer

Customer Review: "Did I feel like I could accomplish anything in the world when I put these on? Yes. Will I be buying these in every wash available? Absolutely. I’ve been a fan of Levi’s rib cage jeans for a few years, but all of mine were cropped making it hard for me (5’9”) to wear them throughout the year. These jeans have the perfect combo of a high rise, straight leg (but not too baggy), and perfect length to wear with so many shoe options." — Nordstrom reviewer
Rating: 4.5/5 stars
Customer Review: "I bought these jeans after buying the same cut (kick out crop) in another wash. I thought the Colleton wash would be too dark, but instead it’s a beautiful - dare I say elegant - dark wash jean. I’m petite, but bought a “standard” size 28. It hits me almost at a high rise and the length is perfect for a short bootie (1.5-2 “ heel.) I normally buy a 29 petite (since I’m 5’1”), but wanted the longer length for dressing up. These really fit the bill! I feel like these also flatter my curvy figure and extra weight in my tummy. I highly recommend these for curvier figures!" — Madewell reviewer
Rating: 3.6/5 stars
Customer Review: "Ninety percent of the time, I'm wearing jeans. These are, by far, the best fitting! The wide, thick, and stretchy waistband is comfortable without looking like grandma jeans. I'm larger in my middle, and these are quite slimming. I never get compliments on my jeans, and I've had several so far with these." — Good American reviewer
Rating: 4.3/5 stars
Customer Review: "Love love love!!! they fit me PERFECTLY! I have a lot of trouble finding high waisted jeans that fit my waist and my booty but these fit like a glove! They also stretch a bit so they're super comfortable." — H&M reviewer
Style Tip: A simple button-down shirt and heels will draw more attention to your shape.

Customer Review: "These jeans a really soft and are super flattering from behind. Definitely happy with this pair!" — Nordstrom reviewer
Rating: 4.8/5 stars
Customer Review: "I love these jeans! They're so comfy yet firm and look good with every outfit. They're fitted in the waist and butt, but they're not too tight throughout the leg. These are perfect to wear with sneakers or ballet flats. They do run a bit large, but I feel like Madewell always runs large. I sized down from what I usually wear from other brands." — Madewell reviewer

Customer Review: "Amazing fit! These jeans fit me perfectly. It's difficult for me to find good fitting jeans with a slim waist and very curvy hip area, but these jeans delivered." — Gap reviewer
Rating: 4.3/5 stars
Customer Review: "I’m normally a 27 and purchased a 25 for a more fitted look. A 26 would have been a looser fit like the model. These jeans a really soft and are super flattering from behind. Definitely happy with this pair!." — Nordstrom reviewer
Style Tip: You can never go wrong with a basic white tee and high-waisted denim.

Customer Review: "I'm 5'8" [and] 155-160 lbs with a big bottom and thicker thighs, and these jeans fit like a glove. I've worn them several times since I got them, and they loosened a little, but they still fit perfectly. Size down one." — Revolve reviewer

Customer Review: "I was hesitant on trying these as I usually wear Mother, Paige, Joes Jeans. So glad I did. I’m a curvy short lady and these fit so nice had a nice stretch (not to much) looked adorable on. And let’s talk about the price! I woulda paid more and glad I didn’t have to." — Nordstrom reviewer
Rating: 4.2/5 stars
Customer Review: "These are my absolute favorite pair of jeans! As soon as I wore these the first time, I went online and ordered a few different colors. As a mom with two kids and a smaller backside, these pants were very flattering on my waist, lower belly, and butt. They have the perfect amount of stretch without losing shape throughout the day. I love how I can pair them with anything! I dress them up for work with a blazer and heels or dress down with a comfy sweatshirt and tennis shoes. I love that they have multiple lengths for shorter or taller ladies." — Abercrombie Fitch reviewer
Rating: 3.8/5 stars
Customer Review: "These are nice pair of jeans to have in a capsule closet. Feels very secure and sturdy but also comfortable." — Nordstrom reviewer
