Buying jeans can be so tricky! With all the brands, washes, styles, cuts, and sizes...it can become mind boggling when trying to decide what is best for your body type. That is why I have put together a simple, yet informative guide to buying the right pair of jeans for YOU!
Flat Bums
Tips:
- Try a tapered leg or skinny jean to make your bum more noticeable. Siwy is a hot denim line too
- Even a small kitten heel will add curves to your profile, a tall heel will work wonders.
- Flap pockets will add dimension, try True Religion, Stitches or Frankie B's flap pocket styles.
Booty Beauty
Tips:
- Look for a stretch denim with a fitted waist.
- Stick to darker washes that have an all-over slimming effect.
- Many denim manufacturers make a specific style to flatter a shapely butt with a narrower waist. Find out which cut is right for you in the brand you desire.
- Consider brands such as Joe's, Rich and Skinny, or Genetic Denim
Petite & Chic
Tips:
- Skinny jeans are perfect, just stick to linear cuts like straight leg and cigarette leg. Stay away from pencil or peg legs which tapers at the bottom. Give the Joe's Provocateur Jean a try.
- If you are short and want to minimize curves, choose a straight, wide-leg trouser cut. Jeans that fit like a tailored pair of trousers will give you an over-all sleek and polished look. Finish with an amazing pair of heels.
- Need hemming? Ask your tailor for an "original hem" and your unique hem will stay intact.
- Other brands for the petite frame include Seven for All Mankind, Hudson, or Paige Premium Denim
Short Waists
Tips:
- Choose a jean with a low waist to lengthen the torso (7.5" rise or less).
- Jeans with long pockets or pockets placed lower (example Taverniti So) balance proportions
- Avoid high waisted jeans that will make the torso look shorter.
- AG Jeans or Taverniti So could work for you
Pretty Pear
Tips:
- Look for a dark, clean wash. Too much fading and distressing will widen your shape.
- A straight leg or slight bootcut will keep legs looking lean. Stay away from a tapered or pencil leg. A sleek trouser cut jean will work wonders!
- Skinny jeans can work, just choose cigarette and straight-leg cuts.
- Wear a heel to add height and lengthen legs. Also balance out the thigh with a substantial shoe like a fierce boot.

Raw denim makes it from the factory to the sales floor without being washed or rinsed. That makes for a stiffer pair of jeans at first, but it also means that the denim will conform to the shape and motion of its owner.
