My Go-To Travel Jeans Are From the Brand Oprah Loves for “Perfectly” Fitting Denim

As the old adage goes, Oprah knows best (or something along those lines). It’s proven true with quite literally anything I’ve purchased per her recommendation, from buttery sweatpants to indulgent body creams, and a fantastic foundation. Perhaps most life-changing for me, however, is the ultra-flattering denim brand Queen O once said fit her “perfectly:” NYDJ.

Naturally, she was spot-on. I triple-texted my mom and sister about the brand, unable to contain my excitement after trying on two pairs of NYDJ jeans, including a fantastically flattering pair of white jeans—a color I’d previously avoided. I’d argue that comfort is almost, if not more, notable than the flattering fit. In my 31 years of donning denim, NYDJ’s have the most buttery feel I’ve tried (without crossing into jegging territory). In fact, they’re my go-to travel pants for road trips and long flights.

I own two pairs of NYDJ pants but plan to expand my collection indefinitely; now’s an excellent time to stock up since the brand is up to 61 percent off during Amazon Prime Day.

Teresa Trouser Wide Leg Jeans

These structured denim jeans are stylish and professional-looking, making them a true desk-to-dinner pant. Plus, the wide-leg cut is very much on-trend. One shopper noted they receive compliments every time they wear them.

Marilyn Straight Jeans, Biscayne 

This timeless denim style features a mid-rise waist and straight leg. It can pair with virtually anything, from the perfect white tee in the summer to a boxy blazer in the fall. Shoppers say the jeans have a “very expensive look, feel, and fit,” and I couldn’t agree more.

Marilyn Straight Jeans, Optic White

Yes, white jeans can be flattering; these slightly stretchy, derrière-boosting pair is proof. Shop them while they're on sale.

Barbara Bootcut Jeans, Cooper

The Barbara Jeans feature a classic bootcut style. One shopper called them “the best jeans” they’ve “ever owned,” citing the perfect fit and how they “lift the tush.” The slightly stretchy fabric makes them incredibly comfortable, and the front features a criss-cross design that provides smooth support without feeling constrictive.

Barbara Bootcut Jeans, Habana

With a sleek silhouette, deceptively comfortable fabric, and classic indigo hue, these jeans are a seasonless wardrobe staple.

Sheri Slim Jeans, Rinse

Just shy of skinny jeans, shoppers say these pants have a narrow fit through the leg without feeling too tight. The fabric, which contains 13 percent polyester, is ultra-soft and slightly stretchy, making these jeans as comfortable as they are becoming.

Briella Roll Cuff Long Denim Shorts

I’ve been on a denim shorts kick lately, and this pair is next on my to-buy list. Fans call them “super comfortable,” and I’m fond of the roll-cuff detail. 

Teresa Wide Leg Ankle Fray Hem Jeans

Another wide-leg option, this trouser features a subtle, edgy fray at the ankle. A shopper who called them their “favorite jeans” said they’re “comfortable” and “look really stylish” with an array of shoe styles.

For the most comfortable, flattering denim you’ll ever wear, shop the Oprah-approved NYDJ denim I can’t stop donning while prices start at $44 during Amazon Prime Day.
