While rigid denim is certainly a chic option to have in your jean collection—exuding a '90s cool-girl vibe—let’s be honest. It's not always the most comfortable or practical. I, for one, love to have a handful of stretchy jeans on hand (from skinnies to flares) on days when I need to feel comfortable and ready for anything while still looking stylish. There are plenty of chic stretchy jeans out there in all silhouettes that are easy to dress up or down, but which ones exactly are the most-loved by customers? As someone who spends a lot of time scrolling through Nordstrom's inventory and loves (with a capital L) to read reviews, I beelined to its site to scour the chicest stretchy jeans with the best customer reviews that all have at least four out of five stars. Read on to help you better inform your next stretchy-jean purchase and see snippets of what customers have to say about each pair.

"Like Butter! Putting these on feels amazing. The fabric is so soft, and the elastic is strong but not restricting. I love the lighter wash and hems for a more casual look. These will easily be my go-to everyday jeans. Expensive, but totally worth it." — amandamcg1

"The perfect jean. Very comfortable and flattering. The stretch makes them extra comfy but they stay in shape and don’t loosen too much after multiple wears. Worth the price." — acapo

"Perfect black jeans. These black jeans are perfect for work or for wearing on a night out. They hold their color and do not fade. I own several pairs. I hang dry them and they last and last. I haven’t worn a pair out yet." — Jessrunner

"Love these jeans. I am in between a 16W and a 18W
the 16W was perfect in these. Love that they're a true 'straight jean-hard to find ones without a little flare to the bottom or that are 'skinny'. The dark color lends itself well to dress up or down." — sheila73

"Loved these jeans so much I could not believe they were mine. Jean shopping is a challenge. These jeans fit all over, they did not feel saggy. They were so comfortable. I didn't want to take them off. The style looked so cute with my mules. I plan to buy more jeans from Kut from the Kloth." — Booklyn

"These are hands-down my favorite black jeans. They are so high quality that they look more like trousers, and they have just the right amount of stretch so that they fit snugly but are still very comfortable. I have four pairs that I rotate and wear to work almost every day. Truly a great product." — Miss Pagoda

"These jeans are the most comfortable jeans I have ever worn. I purchased down one size, as they did stretch as I was wearing them. I did not need a belt as they stayed in place all day with movement. The ab solution stretch fabric is very effective." — Damato

"Worth every penny. If I could give these jeans 10 stars I would. Fits great on my curvier figure. Hugs the hips perfectly without gapping at the waist. Love the button closure for a more flattering fit. Hands down best denim I've purchased in awhile." — Smcole

"I love, love this jeans. I have several DL’s and they are the best jeans. They don’t stretch after you wear them and hold up well after you wash them. I think this ones run a little bigger so you might want to side down." — Mari0328

"These jeans fit super well! They're really soft and stretchy. Only qualm is that the bottoms drag a bit on the ground, but shouldn't be a problem when wearing heeled shoes." — Jsp1509
