The Perfect Jean to Suit Your Body Shape

There is a pair of jeans out there for everyone! So whatever shape or size you are there is something that's just right for you...

Petite

Petites are best off in a slim fit that won't swamp a small frame. Rather than just choosing the shortest length you can find, look for ranges specifically designed for petites as the all-round fit will be better. Showing a bit more foot and wearing with heels will help elongate legs, so try an ankle-skimming style.

Curvy

Wide leg, tailored styles are great on curvier figures. They add length to legs, have a slimming effect and accentuate a small waist. Look for styles with a wide waistband that won't dig into your hips, and emphasise your hourglass shape with a V-necked blouse that tapers at the waist.

Pear shape

A classic bootcut in a dark wash is always a good choice if you're pear shaped. Choose jeans that are long enough to wear with heels - a sure-fire way to get longer, slimmer-looking legs. Emphasise your upper body with V-shaped tops that draw the eye to the waist, instead on focusing on your hips and thighs.

Straight up straight down

If you're slim and lacking in the curve department you're the ideal candidate for treggings! A higher-waisted shape is perfect if you're tall to avoid the dreaded whale-tail effect. Go for a faded wash as this gives the illusion of a more rounded shape and pair with a top with exaggerated shoulders - this will help create more of a waist.
