At Indie Denim, you customize every detail of your jeans from the fit, fly, and flare, to the brass tacks and embellished (or not) pockets.

Not Your Daughter’s Jeans Tummy Tuck Slim Stretch Leg Jeans, flatten your tummy, lift your butt, and make you look a size smaller. The newer styles with wider, longer legs tend to have higher waists and give the illusion of height and slimmer hips. At around $100.
