Arguably, there are no hard and fast rules when it comes to picking jeans (just pick whatever makes you look and feel great!), but there are a few tried-and-tested cuts that seem to work for certain body shapes more.

Petite: cropped straight leg jeans

For petite frames, a pair of jeans that are slightly cropped will definitely keep you from appearing as if you’re drowning in fabric.

Hourglass: High rise slim fit jeans

For hourglass body types, the best jeans for you would be the high rise types that taper at the ankle. That way, it draws attention to your tiny waist and elongates the leg!

Curvy: Jeans with a slight flare
