We all come in different shapes and sizes, so luckily there is an abundance of different styles of jeans to suit our individual needs! But choosing the best jeans for your body type is no easy task, and it’s easy to become overwhelmed by the vast number of styles on offer. Let’s have a look at the cuts and styles you should look out for when looking for a new pair of jeans depending on your body type.

Athletic
You don’t have to be athletic to have an athletic body type. If you have narrow hips, a flat bottom and an undefined waist, a more curved body shape can be achieved by tucking your top into a pair of high-rise jeans. Lighter colours can be utilised to show more definition around the knee area and give more shape to the thigh. Also, look out for large pockets at the rear as they can allow you to achieve a fuller appearance.

Hour Glass
This distinctive body shape is made up of proportional curves at the top and bottom of the body with a defined waistline. Jeans that work best with this body type should run straight from the hip to the knee, ideally with a flare at the bottom of the jean to compliment the hour glass shape. Skinny fits should be avoided as they will accentuate wider hips. Darker colours also work best at creating a flatter look.

Apple
Women with an apple shape typically carry more weight around the middle, and is a tricky body shape to find suitable jeans for. Wider waistbands are helpful for waist support and should sit below the bellybutton. Stretch denim is useful at giving the jeans a more uniform fit, and darker colours make the jeans more flattering. For women with slimmer legs, a straight pair of jeans will create a more balanced look.

Pear
Finding jeans for pear-shaped women is a little easier. Flared or boot-cut jeans work best at making the body look less bottom-heavy. Again, darker colours work to give a flatter appearance and stretch denim brings a tighter shape to the middle area. Deep pockets should be avoided as these can accentuate the large middle and will make legs appear shorter.

I hope these tips have given you a little more help in choosing the right jeans for you!
