Dressing as per your body type
is probably the best way to flatter it.
But have you considered that the same applies
to your wardrobe staple: Jeans, as well?
So if you’ve been struggling
to find the right jeans for you,
or wondering why your jeans
are always loose from your waist
and tight from the hips,
we’re here with all the answers you’ll need!
If your shoulders are equally proportionate to your hips,
you fall in the hourglass category.
Waist gapping is one of the most common denim dilemmas
for an hourglass body type.
This is when everything about the pant fits your body
except the waistband,
resulting in a gap at your waist.
A high rise jeans skinny jean
will help you flaunt your curves in the right places.
Pick one with a contoured waistband,
as it will mimic the natural shape of the waist,
ensuring it fits right at the waist
without forming a gap.
Bootcut jeans are also a great way to accentuate an hourglass figure's curves.
While the jeans skimming at the thighs will
hug your thighs right,
the wider bottom balances
out larger hips, for an overall flattering effect.
To look taller in jeans,
opt for straighter or skinny fits that don’t have excess fabric
to drown your length.
Tailor or fold your hem if it’s too long.
The slight show of the ankle will give the illusion of longer legs.
A high waist is another fail-proof way to look taller.
The narrow shoulders & waist with the broader hips of a
pear-shaped figure are bound to
give this body type some waist gaping problems too.
While a pair of jeans with a contoured waistband can solve
just that, going for a mid or high rise waist
will keep your hips and thigh area compact
while seamlessly blending into your natural waistline.
Opting for flared styles or relaxed fits can make all the difference.
The flare will help balance out the volume of your hips
and thighs to give you an overall
proportioned silhouette.
The combination of non-stretch denim and a
tapered leg of a relaxed mom fit
will help skim a pear shape figure proportionately.
If you’re on the taller side, the good news
is, almost every type of jeans can flatter you well.
While a low rise pair of jeans will help balance out a taller torso,
you can also rock a wide
flared hem to give you more proportion.
That said, if you’d love to flaunt your height,
a high waist skinny jeans will never
fail to give you legs for days!
Make sure to choose a pair with a big enough inseam to
make sure your jeans don't end
at an awkward length.
The broader shoulders and narrow hips
of an inverted triangle figure can be balanced by
wide-leg jeans.
This is because, all leg lines that are wider in their hemline
will help give a long and
lean look.
Jeans with a relaxed fit,
like a Boyfriend or Mom jeans will also help create
a proportioned silhouette.
Your slim lower body can benefit from side pockets,
which help create a fuller thigh.
Lighter washes or fades along the legs and knees add shape to thighs.
These tips will make sure you never struggle to find the right jeans!
