Universal Standard Taylor ComfortDenim review

Universal Standard Taylor ComfortDenim is the pick for a big belly because the brand designs for larger bodies first. Universal Standard says its sample size is an 18 and it engineers each of its 22 sizes, 00 to 40, from there, which is the widest range on this list. The Taylor is a high-rise, wide trouser-leg jean in ComfortDenim, a blend of 74% cotton, 21% polyester, 3% viscose and 2% elastane that the brand describes as made for drape, softness and ease. Each page labels the waist-to-hip fit; the Taylor is Classic, for a difference under 10 inches. The Fit Liberty program swaps your size for free if it changes within one year, which helps if your tummy changes. The price is $158 on Universal Standard's US store. There is no shaping panel, so the comfort comes from the high rise and soft fabric rather than compression. We compared documented features and published prices and did not try the jeans on.
