Forbidden Pants Plus Size Collection
Our best-selling high-rise skinny jeans now available in sizes 10 through 20. We engineered these with premium stretch denim that holds its shape wear after wear, featuring a 10-inch rise that smooths and flatters every curve.
The hidden core-shaping panel provides gentle support without restrictive waistbands, while strategically placed back pockets create a lifted silhouette. Available in classic indigo, black, and distressed vintage wash.
Premium construction for sizes 10+
Inclusive Sizing Philosophy for Size 10 and Beyond
We design every Forbidden Pants style from size 10 upward using proportional grading techniques that maintain the intended fit across our entire size range. Unlike brands that simply scale up smaller sizes, we pattern our size 10 through 24 pieces on diverse fit models to ensure consistent proportions, rise depths, and leg shapes.
Our detailed size guide includes hip, waist, and thigh measurements for every size, plus inseam options that accommodate different heights. We know that size 10 varies widely between brands—our size 10 is designed to fit a 32-33 inch waist and 42-43 inch hip with room for movement and comfort.
Premium Stretch Fabrics That Hold Their Shape
Denim Construction
Our size 10+ denim collection features premium 4-way stretch fabrics engineered to provide flexibility without losing structure. We blend high-quality cotton with technical stretch fibers that recover after each wear, preventing the sagging and bagging common in stretch denim.
The fabric weight varies by style—our skinny jeans use 10 oz denim for smooth shaping, while bootcut styles feature slightly heavier 11 oz fabric for structure through the leg. All denim pieces include reinforced belt loops rated to support our extended size range without tearing.
Fit Features Designed for Curves
We engineer specific fit features into every size 10+ style to address common frustrations with plus size pants. Our contoured waistbands follow the natural curve of your body, eliminating the gapping that occurs with straight waistbands on curvier figures.
Hidden core-shaping panels in our skinny and straight-leg styles provide gentle smoothing without uncomfortable compression or rigid shapewear. These panels are constructed from breathable power mesh that moves with you and stays invisible under clothing.

Your Questions About Plus Size Fit & Sizing
Our size 10 fits a 32-33 inch waist and 42-43 inch hip, which tends to run true to department store sizing. We use proportional grading throughout our size 10-24 range, meaning each size increases consistently in all dimensions.
If you typically wear a size 10 in brands like Levi’s or Madewell, our size 10 should fit similarly. We recommend checking our detailed size chart, which includes waist, hip, thigh, and inseam measurements for every size. Many customers find our sizing more consistent across styles than typical brands.
Most of our size 10+ styles come in three inseam options: 28-inch (for heights 5’0″-5’4″), 30-inch (for heights 5’5″-5’8″), and 32-inch (for heights 5’9″-6’1″). Our wide-leg trousers and dress pants are available in 30-inch and 32-inch inseams.
We indicate available inseam lengths on each product page. If you need a custom inseam, we provide free hemming guides with every purchase, or you can use our recommended local alteration service partners.
Our premium stretch fabrics are engineered with high recovery fibers that bounce back to their original shape after each wear. You may notice slight relaxation in the waist and seat area after 3-4 hours of wear, but this is minimal and the fabric fully recovers when washed.
Washing in cold water and tumble drying on low heat (or hang drying) maintains the fabric’s elasticity best. We’ve tested our size 10+ denim and ponte fabrics through 50+ wash cycles with less than 3% change in stretch retention. Avoid fabric softeners, which can coat stretch fibers and reduce recovery over time.
Our high-rise styles feature a 10-inch rise measured from crotch seam to top of waistband, designed to sit at or just above your natural waist. This rise provides excellent coverage, helps prevent gapping, and creates a smoothing effect through the midsection.
Mid-rise styles have a 9.5-inch rise that sits just below the natural waist, offering a more relaxed feel while still providing good coverage. Both rise options are contoured to follow your body’s natural curves in sizes 10 and up. Your choice depends on personal preference—high-rise for maximum coverage and shaping, mid-rise for everyday comfort.
Yes, all our size 10+ pants include fully functional pockets sized appropriately for extended sizes. Front pockets are deep enough to hold a phone and keys while engineered to lie flat against the body without adding bulk.
Back pockets on jeans are strategically positioned higher and angled to create a lifted, flattering silhouette. Cargo and trouser styles include side seam pockets with reinforced openings. We never sacrifice pocket functionality for aesthetics—our customers told us functional pockets were non-negotiable, and we agree.
Absolutely. We offer a 60-day return and exchange policy on all unworn, unwashed items with original tags attached. Every order includes a prepaid return label, and exchanges are processed within 2-3 business days of receiving your return.
If you’re unsure about sizing, we recommend ordering two sizes to try at home. Many size 10+ customers order their usual size plus one size up to compare fit, keeping whichever feels best. Returns are completely free, and we never charge restocking fees.
Machine wash all styles inside-out in cold water on a gentle or permanent press cycle. This protects the color, hardware, and stretch fibers. Tumble dry on low heat or hang to dry for best results—high heat can degrade elastic fibers over time.
Avoid fabric softeners and bleach on all our stretch fabrics. For denim, you can extend time between washes by spot-cleaning and airing out between wears. We include a detailed care card with every purchase that provides fabric-specific instructions. With proper care, our size 10+ pants maintain their fit and appearance through 100+ wears.
