Jeans bring a youthful, dynamic, and even feminine touch to those who wear them. Perhaps they are so popular that most women own a pair. However, not everyone knows how to choose the right jeans for their body shape. Here are some tips for choosing jeans for different body types.
1. Choose high-waisted skinny jeans, elegant flared jeans for short-legged women
The best jeans for you would be skinny, wide-legged, or elegant flared jeans. Overall, skinny jeans will make your legs look slim, giving the illusion of longer legs. To “lengthen” your legs even more, choose high-waisted jeans that flare out and reach your ankles, and pair them with any pointed-toe shoes for maximum effect.
Additionally, the wash of your jeans can make a difference. Jeans with slightly darker vertical stripes down the middle of the legs can create the illusion of longer and slimmer legs.
Meanwhile, some types of mom jeans and boyfriend jeans, which are wider at the hips and taper towards the ankles, can make your legs look both wider and shorter.
2. Wide-leg and cuffed jeans for perfect proportions for tall women
For those with long legs, choosing jeans becomes much simpler and can be based on your personal preference. However, it is still important to wear high-waisted jeans to create the most flattering waistline for your body. Of course, both flared and fitted jeans will suit you, but for a stylish and on-trend look, opt for straight-legged jeans and cuff them slightly.
3. Classic jeans look better with slim legs and accentuate curves
If you have slim thighs, choosing between skinny, flared, or straight jeans is not an issue. However, if you desire a curvier and more enticing figure, classic high-waisted jeans would be the perfect choice for you. They make your thighs and behind look slightly more appealing.
If you prefer a more fitted jeans, go for straight-legged jeans or slim jeans with dyed patterns to make your legs look fuller. Horizontal folds or slightly darker shades across the upper thighs are also an ideal choice for you.
4. Skinny jeans are for shapely thighs
Don’t let anyone tell you that skinny jeans are not for those with curves, because they are wrong! If you have wider thighs, consider all high-waisted jeans as an option for you as long as they are made from a blend of cotton and elastane for comfort and showing off your beautiful figure rather than stiff materials.
Sometimes, you may want to make your legs look slimmer. Black or dark-colored jeans, or jeans with vertical stripes down the thighs, can be effective solutions. Additionally, high-waisted wide-leg jeans are a choice to make your figure more balanced.
5. Small and narrow hips look better with lighter-colored jeans in the center of the buttocks
High-waisted jeans are the perfect item to enhance your curves or fix any lack of curves. On the other hand, if you prefer a more modern look, choose jeans with slightly higher and widely spaced pockets. The larger the pockets, the better, and it’s even a bonus if they are embellished. Additionally, lighter shades in the center of the buttocks and front of the hips will make your figure look rounder and widen your hips.
6. Pay attention to pocket placement when choosing jeans for wider hips
For those with wider hips, high-waisted jeans will definitely look great on your curves. However, if the pockets are not placed correctly or sag inexplicably, they can make your buttocks look uneven and unattractive. Therefore, when trying on a pair of jeans, make sure the pockets sit just right on the “cheeks,” rather than too low or too high, and avoid patterned or flapped pockets.
Vintage and boyfriend jeans are not entirely off-limits for you, as they can be styled to look super fashionable, but remember that they may not be the best choice for showing off your “assets,” as they tend to make your buttocks look larger and longer.
