Finding the perfect fit for jeans has become a (sometimes frustrating) mission for many women. It’s been compared to finding the perfect and most comfortable bra – it has to fit perfectly, hide one’s flaws, and accentuate out the positives. It sounds like such a high call right? It really isn’t, as long as you know your body type and have the confidence to pull it off. Confidence is the main key.
Here are some types of denim jeans and what body type it is best for:
- 1. Skinny Jeans.
Skinny jeans are square through the hips, fitted all throughout the leg, ending with a skinny, ankle-hugging opening.
BEST FOR: These are the best denim jeans for ALL body shapes – whether you have curves or straight. Remember when this style came out and most curvy women complained how unfair it is for women like them? Well, thanks to fashion experts, we have learned that if you have curves and want to slim down, pairing it with long tunics or sweaters will highlight the skinniest part of one’s legs, making you look sexier and slim. Skinnies are the best for tucking into boots.

High-waisted jeans sit high, at the smallest point of the waist. The are a slim fit through the hips and can end up skinny or flared at the opening at the bottom. With these jeans, you emit a retro vibe.

It sits just below the waist, slim-fitting through the hips, ending with an exaggerated flare below the knee.
