How to Pick the Best Jeans for Your Figure

If there’s one thing you’ll find in virtually every closet, it’s a favored pair of jeans!

Whether it’s a sleek black denim pair for a formal occasion or classic mid-wash blue jeans for casual days, jeans are a wardrobe essential. The choices are endless when it comes to denim styles. From bootcut and flared silhouettes to a cropped style or skinny jeans, there are so many options to choose from.

Sometimes, you're still not sure which pair to pick. Should you stick with your favorite silhouette or branch out? What style is the most flattering for your figure? If you’re not sure how to answer these questions, then we’re here to help.

Whether you’re looking to show off your long legs, flatter your curves, or just expand your denim collection, we’re showing you the best denim styles to suit your figure.  

This trending denim style puts a vintage spin on your jean collection. Straight leg jeans are the perfect mix between a curve-hugging skinny fit and a baggy wide leg style.

It’s flattering in every cut, whether you opt for a high rise or mid rise. These jeans are easy to adapt to and add to your everyday wardrobe. A straight leg cut gives you room to move in these jeans for a comfortable and casual finish to your look.

These jeans look great whether you have rounded hips or don’t. It can give your curves comfort, or add more volume to your figure in all the right places thanks to this low-maintenance style.

While flared silhouettes and wide leg jeans are having their moment in the spotlight, the skinny jean will never truly be out of style.

Classic skinny jeans are the epitome of curve-flattering style, delivering a fitted denim finish that’s easy to pair with relaxed tops, blouses, and shirts. If you opt for a high-rise corset top, you enjoy a pant style that cinches in your waist and shows off your figure.

If your hips are wider than your shoulders or if you have an hourglass shape, skinny jeans may be extra flattering on you.  

A retro style making a strong comeback! Bootcut jeans flare out at the ankles for an unmistakable style that looks especially good when you pair it with heels or platforms.

We love how a bootcut design can create the perfect silhouette and elevate your overall look. These can lengthen the look of your legs and even add a playful touch to your look, depending on how you style this design.

Apple, pear, and hourglass figures may gravitate more toward bootcut jeans. With a more tailored thigh fit and wider leg, it’s easy to see how this design creates a gorgeous shape.

This style hits just above the ankle, which is the perfect length for petite figures.

Cropped denim jeans are the perfect complement to statement shoes or midi boots. These jeans can be dressed up or down without missing a beat, which makes them great for day-to-night looks or days out. A lightweight t-shirt and slides give you a perfect look for sunny weather, while a printed blouse and pumps make for an elevated look.

If you have an apple body shape, with hips wider than your shoulders, then this cropped design will be your new favorite.

A more feminine spin on the boyfriend jean silhouette, girlfriend jeans feature a design that shows off more of your figure.

Girlfriend jeans are cut to sit higher on your hips and showcase a straight slim leg that skims over your curves and highlights them more than a classic boyfriend cut. That means this jean style is perfect for all figures, particularly if you find a boyfriend cut swamps your body type and drowns out your curves.

These jeans often look great on apple body shapes and petite figures.

Just like with any piece of clothing, there are no hard and fast rules to what you will look great in. Jeans also often marry different styles, like cropped flare jeans or a skinny fit with a slight bootcut finish, so you can have the best of your favorite styles in one pair of jeans.
