The Best Women's
Horseback Riding Jeans

Any equestrian knows a great-fitting pair of jeans can make all the difference on the ground and on horseback. With years of riding experience under our own belts, we've tried and tested many pairs of denim jeans; we completely understand how your riding jeans make or break your overall comfort in the saddle! Our crew has listened to customer feedback for years to learn what riders are looking for in a riding jean. When we choose a pair of horseback riding jeans, these are some of our considerations:

• Fit - Jeans should rise to a point of your waist that provides coverage while flattering your figure. Jeans should compliment your curves without sagging or being overly tight.
• Stretch - Denim should stretch to allow freedom of movement as you ride and work. This stretchy support can also help jeans fit perfectly to your body type.
• Style - Jeans come in many different cuts and washes to suit your personal style. Finishes like distressing and contrast stitching can make you stand out from the crowd.
• Budget - Quality jeans don't have to break the bank! Riding jeans are offered at a variety of price points to suit individual budgets.

We've picked our favorite riding jeans jeans based on these considerations. The following winners are fashionable and functional enough to suit days on horseback, work on the ranch, or even out on the town. Horseback riding jeans should make you look and feel your best, no matter the activity!

Why We Love These Jeans:

We love the looks of the Western Wide Leg Trouser Jeans by CC Western because of the tasteful, light-distressing details on a high-rise cut style. These jeans are flexible with a cozy denim construction that is slightly stretch, so a variety of body types are flattered; the wide range of waist sizes and inseam lengths make these trousers perfect for different builds. We enjoy pairing this versatile trouser with many looks, such as a graphic tee or button-down western shirt. We believe these jeans are ideal as a feminine-looking yet durable option to make you feel like the most well-dressed one in the room!

Why We Love These Jeans:

The Rebecca Boot Cut Willow Riding Jeans by Wrangler are super comfortable for riding, as the elastic waistband (that is also slightly higher in the back) stays in its place to prevent any dreaded muffin top. No need to worry about continuously hiking these jeans up! The material is soft and flexible with stretch recovery; we find these jeans to last well over time, and they are durable enough for various equestrian activities thanks to their thicker yet smooth construction. The Rebecca is our favorite all-around option to give you the most bang for your buck. We literally say "ahhh..." whenever we put these Wranglers on!

Why We Love These Jeans:

We love how the Ella Dark Wash Slim Trouser Jeans by Ariat offer a mid to high-rise, no-gap waistband that flatters a variety of shapes. The stretchy material still provides structure that is soft against your legs, so they don't lose their shape throughout a busy day of working and riding—thank you no-sag seat! We enjoy the tasteful flare these jeans provide while being lightweight and flexible, plus the dark wash pairs well with many different outfits. They are professional-looking for a variety of events, and we appreciate how these trousers keep your "assets" looking great all day long!

Why We Love These Jeans:

The Olivia High Rise Wide Leg Jeans by Kimes Ranch quickly became a staff favorite for good reason, courtesy of a high-quality denim construction. Whether you do or do not have much going on in the asset department, we find these super comfortable jeans give everyone a flattering booty lift. These stretchy, soft jeans are fitted where it matters, and the wide leg with a raw hem finish provides a fashionable look at the rodeo or out on the town. We particularly love pairing these lightweight jeans with a fashionable pair of booties. We truly think the Olivia jeans are worth every penny, thanks to the confidence we feel in them!

Why We Love These Jeans:

Despite the lower price point, we love the Basic Blues Mid-Rise BootCut Jeans by Wrangler for their cozy soft denim! We enjoy the "mom jean" look provided by these budget-friendly jeans for a fashion-forward look, and you can also easily ride in comfort in this dark wash option. The 100% cotton construction offers breathability and structure, yet the feel of these pants is softer than you would think! The waist is fairly fitted while the relaxed fit from hip down ensures we have freedom of movement. These economical jeans are a must-have for every equestrian looking to save money without sacrificing quality!
