Want to create the look of a shorter torso? Keep your eyes on high-rise jeans.
Low-waisted jeans can exacerbate the appearance of a long torso and throw your proportions out of balance. Instead, opt for high waisted jeans that rest above your hips and reach almost to your navel. Unique details, like ripped knees or ankle cuffs, draw the eye away from your middle as well.
Pear-shaped figure? Try curvy-fit jeans or anything with a boot cut.
Bootcut jeans are gorgeous on pear-shaped women, especially those who have a petite upper body, large hips and a full bum. Bootcut jeans even out a rounder figure. Dark washes are also flattering, so try something in deep blue, black or even purple. Whiskers stretching across the hips have a broadening effect, so keep that in mind when crafting your desired look. Curvy-fit jeans are made with a little extra stretch, which is essential in nailing the fit. A great fitting pair of curvy fit jeans allows you to rock any leg shape you want – curvy fit skinny, curvy fit bootcut, curvy fit straight leg – the sky is the limit.
Small seat? High rise skinny jeans are a treat.
If you're interested in creating a bit more of a full figured look, we got you covered. No matter if your lacking in the curves department or simply want to accentuate what you've already got, jeans can make it happen. High-rise skinny jeans create the illusion of curves, and anything with embellished back pockets also gives you a welcome boost. Fading and sanding along the rear creates the illusion of volume, too.
Short and sweet? Give wide leg or flared styles a try.
Cropped styles can make shorter legs appear even smaller. Jeans that reach to the ankle, or a little lower, make you look longer, especially if they're a dark color. You can also carry off wide-leg jeans, but have them hemmed so that they barely brush the floor when you're wearing shoes.
Lots of leg? Let's get straight to the chase.
Tall women can carry off many different looks, though you'll need jeans with extended inseams if you want total coverage. Don't be afraid of cropped straight leg jeans, though. While they can make petite gals appear stubby, they'll compliment your long, beautiful gams.
Want to create the look of a longer torso? Low rise or mid-rise jeans are your go-to.
Jeans that rest lower on the waist are ideal for short torsos, whether they're flared, skinny or wide-legged. High-rise cuts can overwhelm your midsection, so choose hip-hugging jeans that have an elongating effect, like a pair of mid-rise jeans. If you want tummy control and extra warmth though, something with a high-rise will still look great if worn with a longer, untucked shirt.
Super stretchy jeans make any style your style.
Remember that women's jeans with a little spandex are gorgeous on almost any body type. They'll easily accommodate ample thighs and hips, and are also nice if you have a soft stomach or rounder derriere. Stretchy jeans are better at keeping their shape between washes too, so they won't go baggy in the knees after a single wear.
