How to Find a Pair of Jeans for You

Bootcut/flare - I find you need to have hips to make these work best, bootcuts are great for balancing out larger hips and giving you a great silhouette. If you are narrow and are not that gifted in the hip department I wouldn't suggest a bootcut/flare jean, they can swamp your body and make you look bottom heavy and a bit out of proportion. Bootcuts are made by almost every single brand out there and I couldn't narrow it down to justa few brands to suggest, you have a whole selection so go wild and pick!

Straight Leg - The straight leg jean is a lot more versatile than the the bootcut jean. It's a more flattering option if you are not blessed with hips as the leg opening is wide enough to go over your shoes but not wide enough to make your body look out of proportion. Even if you have hips you can still rock the straight leg, it's a very flattering cut. Since skinny jeans are so hot right now, if you don't feel comfortable wearing them then opt for a straight leg jean, it's half way between. When worn with heels they will still give the illusion of super long legs as well.

Skinny - Skinnys are very versatile and could work for any body shape as long as they are worn right. If you are slim then you have no problem rocking a great pair of skinnys, they work if you are tall or petite, with heels or with flats and are perfect for tucking into boots. Even if you are on the curvy side you can still wear them! You probably want to wear a longish floaty tunic over your skinnys and a good pair of boots as well, this would look great on the curvier lady. The perfect skinny jean, you have so much choice! Paige Premium have a good choice, you can choose your leg opening and your rise. So many brands out there do skinnys and they are all gorgeous!

Super high rise - This style jean I don't think is all that flattering, it works if you are blessed with being very tall and slim, otherwise super high rise on a petite or curvy frame can make your figure appear short and dumpy and isn't very flattering. MiH jeans are great for a super high rise if you can rock this cut!

Low rise - Low rise jeans are a personal favourite of mine, they are very flattering on a smaller frame, they give you a great silhouette. Curvier ladies may want to stay away from low rise jeans, they can give the dreaded muffin top which isn't showing off your body to it's best. A medium/higher rise is best for your curves. Jeans that have great low rise are Diesel Matic and Lowky and Frankie B. low rise.

Boyfriend - These jeans can be worn by anyone, all shapes and all sizes, they are great, super comfy and versatile. They may not be the most flattering jeans out there but worn right (a little tighter rather than super baggy) they can look great. A few favourites of mine are the Paige Jimmy Jimmy, AG Adriano Goldschmied ex-boyfriend and the Current/Elliott boyfriend jean.
