Have you heard of CJ by Cookie Johnson? If not, you can thank us later. This brand is brought to you by Cookie Johnson herself and the creator of 7 For All Mankind, Citizens of Humanity and Rich & Skinny, Michael Glasser. These jeans are made from premium denim and come in amazing fits to help you embrace your curves no matter what your body type is (they’re available in size 24-38 waist and plus sizes!). For next season there’s a ton of colored denim in so many styles: from flare leg, to a capri cut, to a skinny leg, they’ve got you covered! The jeans that are at the top of our personal wish list though are the light blue snake skin print skinny jeans–they are such a great color to welcome the warm weather back in and you can’t beat the awesome subtle but fun print.

We get asked a lot about where to find jeans for curvy ladies, so we were delighted to discover MR Denim. Just launched for Spring 2011, MR Denim is a new denim line from Marina Rinaldi, a plus-size fashion label. MR Denim is a dedicated denim collection which boasts seven different fits, from leggings to boyfriend jeans in a variety of rinses and colors. “This collection is built on the specialization and long-standing experience [over 30 years] of Marina Rinaldi in the plus-size sector.” Latest model in demand Crystal Renn is the poster girl for the next two seasons in the MR Denim campaign. The Marina Rinaldi brand was among the first luxury plus-size fashion companies to create plus-size jeans in the ’80s.

You must read the top 10 list from this article. I was a bit surprised by a few denim labels that made it on the list!
After reading the comments from the plus-size clothing brands story, I realized that many women have a hard time finding a good pair of plus-size jeans.
I decided to find out which plus-size jeans are popular among our users. As you can see from the list below Seven7 Jeans, Dereon and Lauren Ralph Lauren make up the top three. Dereon jeans are actually designed by Beyonce. Other popular jeans are Silver, Venezia and Baby Phat.
