There is no other feeling in the world like finding the perfect pair of jeans. Jeans are the ultimate stable piece of any woman’s closet and can be worn with just about anything. With the hundreds of brands, cuts and colors it can seem a little overwhelming at first when trying to shop for a new pair. Here are a few tips to remember during your next shopping trip when trying to find the most flattering pair of jeans for your body type.
Tall
If you’re tall you want to look for brands that carry long inseams to accommodate your height and avoid that high-water look. With your height you can easily rock a pair of skinnies that can make your legs look even longer and lean. These types of jeans allow you to wear your favorite pair of flats or even high heels. If you want to switch it up you can even go for a retro look with jeans that flare at the bottom for a trendy and flattering look. Look for little details on the jeans such as whiskers to give a little width to a skinny figure.
Petite
The key to finding the perfect pair of jeans for those lovely ladies 5’4” and under is length. If your jeans are too long you can begin to look a little frumpy and if they’re too short then you’ll also be suffering from high water jean syndrome. Sometimes you can find shorter inseam options online from your favorite brand of jeans if they’re not currently available in stores. Look for jeans with a higher waist in order to give the illusion of longer legs. You can try on a pair of cute boot-cut jeans to give a little flare at the bottom, which will give balance and even proportions. Black jeans are also your best friends since they don’t have lines and can make your legs look longer.
Curvy
As a curvy girl, you want to look for jeans that have some stretch to them so they can hug your curves instead of constricting them. Straight-legged jeans are the way to go since the cut just skims the legs and will help to slim down the thighs and calves. Another option for you is the trouser jean. High-waited trouser jeans can shows off the smallest part of your body while helping to fake mile-long legs and give an over all polished look. Choose dark washes opposed to lighter ones, which will instantly slim your legs.
Athletic
Look for a mid-rise jean with a slight flare at the bottom to help create a curvier silhouette. You can also fake a shapely figure with a pair of boyfriend jeans. They add volume while also creating softer curves to your bottom half. High waists will nip you at the smallest part of your body to also give the illusion of an hourglass shape, though you can just as equally pull off the low-rise style. Another tip to consider is having some type of detailing on the back pockets of your jeans as another way to bring some curves to your athletic shape.
