Finally! We’ve got the secrets to scoring amazing denim, for every size and shape.
Jeans are a staple of every girl’s wardrobe but, sigh, shopping for the right pair can be tough. Not all jeans were created equal, so here’s a guide to the best jeans for your body type.
Remember: If the jeans don’t fit, it has nothing to do with Y-O-U—all denim is cut a li’l diff and sometime ya gotta try on a bunch of pairs to get the best fit.
Slim
You’ve got the perfect figure to rock skinny jeans. They will make your legs look longer and your naturally thin legs will look shapely. Choose a dark wash for a chic look or a lighter wash to go casual.
Hourglass
You’re proportional and balanced, so you can wear any type of denim you want to show off your cute curves. Trouser jeans are flattering—and elongate your bod!
Apple
You carry more of your weight in your upper body, so seek jeans with some flare at the bottom to help balance ya out. A boot cut with a slightly higher waist will look absolutely amazing on ya!
Pear
If you’re petite on top with a curvier butt and thighs, go for boot-cut jeans or straight legs. Stay away from super flared jeans as well as skin-tight skinnies. Dark washes will provide an overall slimmer appearance to your bottom half.
Some helpful tips when looking for jeans:
-Go for a darker wash—they’re stylish and make everyone look fab.
-Don’t be afraid to go up a size—the number doesn’t matter
-Try on lots of jeans, and try not to get discouraged
-Some stretchy fabric added to denim makes it extra comfy
-Make sure they aren’t too loose because they will stretch out after a few wears
