Complete Guide: Best Jeans for Every Body Type
The right jeans transform your silhouette. This complete guide matches jean styles to body types for universally flattering denim.
Understanding Jean Cuts
From skinny to wide-leg, high-rise to mid-rise—each cut creates different effects on different bodies.
Jeans by Body Type
Hourglass Figure
High-waisted styles that highlight your defined waist. Avoid low-rise. Try: high-waisted straight, bootcut.
Pear Shape
Bootcut and flare balance hip width. Dark washes minimize. Try: bootcut, wide-leg, dark straight.
Apple Shape
Mid-rise with stretch for comfort. Straight or bootcut elongates. Try: mid-rise straight, boyfriend.
Athletic/Rectangle
Create curves with pocket placement. Try: high-waisted, detailed back pockets.
Petite
High-waisted elongates. Avoid extra-wide cuts. Try: skinny, straight, cropped styles.
Tall
All cuts work! Shop tall-specific for proper length. Try: wide-leg, flare, anything.
