AE Stretch Curvy Mom Jeans at a Glance
The mid-sized and plus-sized women we found who tried on the American Eagle Stretch Curvy Mom Jeans had mixed reviews.
Most people bought their typical size. In their typical size, the pants fit well around the waist. The problem was that the legs weren’t baggy like you’d expect from a pair of mom jeans. The jeans fit skinny through the thigh. They were only loose below the knee.
Some influencers sized up two sizes. The legs looked like mom jeans should when they sized up. However, the jeans worn in a bigger size were too baggy around the waist.
Overall, if you don’t mind the skinny fit in the thighs, the jeans are a great option for curvy women. That’s because they have a higher rise than a typical American Eagle jean.
Shoppers had mixed reactions to the style. Some styles had fabric sewn behind the distressed material. Some shoppers loved it because it kept the jeans from ripping. Others didn’t like that the jeans didn’t have real holes.
Two other pieces of advice from women that stuck out to us:
Always buy on sale. American Eagle runs lots of sales. You’ll get a much better deal if you wait until the price drops.
Don’t buy without stretch material. Almost everybody who tried the non-stretchy curvy jeans hated them. It cut into some shoppers’ stomachs, making them uncomfortable. The women who did like them had to size up two sizes past their typical size.

CanadianFascination reviews American Eagle curvy mom jeans. She loves American Eagle jeans and feels they “fit her like a glove”.
Kayla’s Thoughts:
“I’m at a point in my life where the only jeans I want to wear are American Eagle jeans because I love them so much.”
“If you're any taller than me you should probably get the longs. Be warned that these are slightly shorter than a regular jean at American Eagle.”
“I do love the wash of these. I love the holes. I love the distressing.”
“These fit really well. If you're curvy like me definitely try out the curvy mom jeans. The regular mom jeans are a stiff denim whereas these are a nice comfortable denim which you’ll like way more.”
Kayla’s Stats:
Height: 5’3”
Waist: 32”
Hips: 45”

Kelly Elizabeth shares her thoughts on the Stretch Curvy Mom Jeans. She wears a 14 or 16 depending on the line. Kelly sizes down to the 14 in the curvy line because there is additional stretch in the curvy jeans. In this video, she tries on the curvy mom jean in a number of different washes.
Kelly’s Thoughts:
“I find all of these [stretch curvy mom] jeans actually fit exactly the same which is something that I found to be really really exciting. I cannot stand when I love a pair of jeans and want to buy them in a different wash and the different wash fits like horribly or is too big or too small.”
“They fit high-waisted. They have traditional front and back pockets as well as the traditional button and zipper closure.”
Kelly’s stats:
Waist: 34”
Hips: 48”
Height: 5’10”

Drea CN reviews American Eagle Curvy jeans in this video. She worked at American Eagle for awhile, and has been a fan of the jeans ever since. This is her first time trying on the curvy jean line at American Eagle, and she was happy with the fit.
Drea’s Thoughts:
“I can believe I got these on because I’ve never been able to wear a pair of mom jeans before.”
“Even though they fit it's not really a mom Jean look because there's no looseness on the legs on me except for just around the ankle.”
“Typically they would be considered a probably a super high rise not highest rise.”
“I think the curviness of the butt is the best thing about the curvy jeans. I think the butt looks pretty good.”
Drea’s stats:
Body shape: Plus size, hourglass, thighs and butt larger than waist. Typically size 16 in American Eagle regular jeans and 14/16 in most plus-sized brands.

Sophia Euphia reviews stretch curvy mom jeans along with the curvy mom jeans and the good ol’ mom jean. She has always had challenges finding jeans that accommodate her butt, but don’t give her waistband gap. Sophia likes the curvy stretch mom jean fit around her waist in a size 18, but ends up sizing up to a 22 to get the relaxed leg look. She also gets the regular mom jean in a size 22, which she loves. Sophia’s video really highlights the importance of picking a size based on the look you want, and not based on the number on the tag.
Sophia’s Thoughts:
“These are so high waisted, holy crap.”
“I love the wash of these, I love the rise of these, I love the length, I just don't feel incredible in them.”
“This is the longest zipper I've probably ever seen in my life but I do like them. They make my butt look good”
“My favorite by far or the classic mom Jean if you get these size up a size or two. For me it was two sizes up and they fit me perfectly.”
Sophia’s stats:
Weight: 235lbs
Height: 5’7”
Typical Jean Size: 18
AE Stretch Curvy Mom Jeans Size 22
Taren Denise shares her thoughts on curvy mom jeans. In this video, she tries on every pair of curvy jeans that American Eagle makes. She tries on both size 22 and 24, depending on the style of the jeans.
Taren’s Thoughts:
“I kind of love them but I kind of hate them.”
“They're high-waisted and fitted around the waist and the hips.”
“They're a little bit baggy in the legs, ok not baggy, but they aren’t skin tight.”
“They're not skinny on the legs or on the ankles. They’re very different for me but I kind of love them.”
“I also love the distressing on them. These aren't actual holes. There is fabric behind them so you're not showing any skin.”
Taren’s stats:
Waist: 42”
Hips: 56”
Height: 5’8”
AE Stretch Curvy Mom Jeans Size 24
Gabriella Fortunato tries on the Stretch Curvy Mom Jean in both a size 22 and 24. She starts with the 24, which is where the video starts. Gabriella found that the size 24 stretched out as she wore them, so traded them in for a size 22 which have become her favorite mom jeans.
Gabriella’s Thoughts:
“It's in between a straight and a skinny jean opening here it's not too skinny but it's also not totally straight.”
“Mom jeans are kind of hard because they're supposed to be loose and baggy but they're also supposed to be tight in the right areas. If you have an Apple body shape it can be difficult to find that balance.”
“The quality's amazing. They're nice thick jeans. Your thighs aren't gonna rub them together too quickly.”
“I did order that same pair in a size 22 and these I would say are my absolute favorite mom jeans so far.”
Gabriella’s stats:
Typical Size: 22/24
Body Shape: apple shape, carry most of weight in stomach
Which Size AE Curvy Mom Jeans Should You Buy?
The size you buy depends on your body measurements and personal tastes.
I was surprised to find that some Youtubers had the same body measurements but bought different sizes. That’s because some wanted very fitted jeans that stretch over time, but other wanted a looser fit. The reviews above should give you an idea about which size is best for you.
