You don’t need me to tell you that jeans can be a nightmare for our plus size bodies, with concerns about how they’ll handle chub rub as well as non-standardized sizings. Thankfully, with Western jeans you not only get to show off the booty, but you pay for lasting quality, and I’ve based my reviews on a combination of personal experience and actual buyer reviews to give you the top eight picks!
All jeans here are at least a size 20, and most jeans here have a price point of around $90, which shows the quality associated with bootcut/Western jeans, and particularly those made by plus size brands should be built to last through the chub rub.

ariat mid rise raquel bootcut

Probably not a surprise to see Ariat leading the charge when it comes to highly rated bootcut jeans. These are rated 4.9 stars overall, and with a lighter wash, nice flare through the calves and detailed butt pockets these jeans can certainly be called “authentic.”
As a tall girl, I love the long inseam option here too. The regular inseam is 33, but the long is an awesome 35 inches.
seven7 boot jean at lane bryant
Sizes up to: 40

These jeans are built to withstand thigh rub and move with your curves. Lane Bryant/Seven7 craft stylish jeans with plenty of room in the waist and these plus size Western jeans are no exception.
I love the attention to detail with the stitching on the butt pockets, and the bootcut “flare” isn’t really that pronounced at all, which makes these suitable for styling with sneakers/sandals/wedges as well as traditional boots.
If you’re looking for more of a high rise option, the Seven7 high rise Bella wide leg jean is available in their own store, though with no reviews it’s tough to evaluate the quality/fit!

Awesome combination of inclusive sizes and a long inseam with these bootcuts for Silver Jeans Co. They come with an eased waistband for added comfort round the waist and the tall girl squad love these, saying they just work for long legs and are made with very good quality denim.
You may want to size down in these, according to several reviewers.
Love these jeans. Fit well, comfortable & perfect length. It’s very hard to find women’s jeans that are long enough if you’re tall, these are great! 👍🏼

alloy kellie mid rise bootcut
Sizes up to: 20
Inseam: 35” or 37”
Shop it: Here
These are my pick for those with super long inseams. Alloy get denim for long legs, and with sizes up to 20 I’ve featured them before on my roundup of the best plus size tall jeans.
With some of their other bootcut jeans, reviewers stated there wasn’t much room for a big butt, but there are no such concerns with these, which have 5 star reviews across the board.

Price: $69.90

Torrid jeans just have an awesome stretch I’ve come to know and love as a buyer for several years now! These jeans have earned an impressive 4.3 stars out of hundreds of reviews, with Torrid faithful citing the comfort and butt accentuation (yas) as key selling points. As always, Torrid jeans are designed with extra room round the waist.
wrangler q-baby mid rise bootcut jean
Sizes up to: 26
Inseam up to: 34”
Price: $39.99-$54.95

I like the lower price point of these, which makes them stand out as a high value buy, but I just need to say: these run small, so size up one or two sizes.
Due to this, and the mid rise nature of these jeans, and the fact Wrangler aren’t a specific “plus size” brand, they may not be the best for bodies with bigger bellies but would be suited to bodies with bigger hips.

These don’t come with any reviews, but I like to shine a spotlight on smaller brands and Western Soul should know a thing or two about creating plus size Western jeans! Even if they are only made for butts up to a size 20, the dark wash looks fab.
the one i want to like: maurice’s americana high rise bootcut
Sizes up to: 22
Inseam: 32”
Price: $98.90

It’s no secret I like Maurice’s. They usually make good quality plus size and/or long jeans, and I absolutely LOVE the stars and stripes “V” pattern on the butt pockets for these. Seriously, these are probably the coolest pair of jeans I’ve included on this list (that’s why they made the main image!)
So, why do I say I want to like them? They only have one review and it’s one star! I’ll keep my eye on these to see if they change, as visually, they look amazing.
