If you’re like us, jeans are a wardrobe staple worth investing in – thanks to their versatility, endless styling options, effortless appeal and (for the most part) comfort. The right pair of butt lifting jeans has the unparalleled power to instantly transform your look and flatter your figure while enhancing your curves and emphasizing your contours assets and smoothing of the derriere. Sure, regular squats and weekly stair master sessions is one method to achieve peak sculpted butt status, but it’s time-consuming and labor-intensive. And let’s be honest – we all know that the right pair of butt-enhancing jeans have unmatched powers of transformation that will make your butt look its best without you having to. anything.

We love a good pair of relaxed boyfriend pants that hang loose from the hips. And we appreciated the always-trendy, laid-back cargo pants that embody stylish tomboy charm. But some days, we just want our butts to look as good as the peach emoji — whether we’ve stuck to our spin class schedule, broken into PMS spells, or us, whenever possible to have indulged in pizza and wine. And in those moments, there’s no better feeling than slipping into those hot AF jeans that never let us down.

Of course, like bodies, all booties are beautiful — whether or not you’ve been blessed with the conventionally prized Kardashian butt. But they are also all different, so the style of jeans that is most flattering on your butt will of course depend on your own unique shape of your butt. Two style details to consider when finding the butt lift jeans of your dreams: the location of the back pockets and the design of the yoke (that’s the V-shaped part that connects the waist with the legs in the back). Elongated pockets tend to flatten the booty, while smaller, higher-placed pockets (especially the inward-angled ones) tend to offer a bolder effect. As for the design, the deeper the V, the more shapely your butt will look.
