Help: Right Jeans for You

The Right Jeans for You!! Tips for Specific Body Styles

Hourglass
Don’t hide…Show your figure! Get a pair of lower-riding jeans that are slim fit and straight legs. This is a great way to present those curves while looking natural.

Full Curves
Easily handled…Slim fit, boot-cut legs. Get a darker wash to really bring out the pizzazz.

Big Backside
Avoid smooth styles with no back pockets; they can make your behind appear larger. Minimize your rear with a low-rise cut. Pockets with vertical seams make you look slimmer.

Boyish Figure
Steer clear of fitted clam-digger styles that highlight your straight silhouette. Round out your shape by going without pockets in the back and choosing lighter-colored denim…Use slanted front pockets to create curves.

Short Legs
Stay away from patchwork designs that break up your silhouette and make you appear shorter. No Capris here…Elongate your legs in full-length jeans with crosshatch fabric – Don’t go for the stretch denim.

Wide Hips
Pass on tapered, high-waisted styles that maximize width. Trim down in an exaggerated bootleg cut with diagonal seams. Hide your hips in generously cut, wide-leg jeans that balance your proportions

Short-Waisted
Low-slung, hip hugger styles will give you the illusion of having a longer torso. If your body style is more voluptuous stick to low waist styles that elongate your torso and emphasize your bottom. Baggy jeans will not flatter your curves but low rise, boot-cut and wide legs will balance your hips.

Long Torso
A pair with a definite waist, which will make your bottom half look longer and leaner. Avoid super low-rise, this will make your torso even longer.

Plus-Size, Wide Hips
Ones with a slight flare at the leg, which will help to balance your hips. A pair of relaxed, medium-waist jeans are great for your body. Shaping your body is great but don't pick a jean that hugs every curve.

Very Slim
A pair of jeans with simple styling and tapered legs for a more classic look; or straight legs, for a trendier effect. Stay away from jeans that are too tight, these will not flatter your legs and anything too loose will create weird proportions to your body. Hip-huggers and relaxed jeans are great for your body with boot-cut and slight flares. These styles will create the illusion of curves.

Petite
A pair of straight legs, worn on the long side, to help give you a
taller silhouette. Styles that are fitted and close to the body will elongate your appearance. Don't be afraid to accentuate your curves. Low waist jeans or hipsters are great as long as they don’t make your legs appear shorter. Stretch jeans are great for your figure.
