Loading ...Jeans to suit your shape.
There are many brands and styles of jeans to choose from. The cardinal rule is always buy a pair of jeans that fit you really well.(Remember that denim will stretch over time, and denim shrinks during the first wash.)
This guide will help you choose the style that fits your figure:
Petite Size
Look for a low-rise straight or skinny leg. Stay away from capris, flares and too much embellishment, which cut the length of the legs. Also avoid higher rises, because they make your body look short.
Pear Shaped
To balance your bigger hips and thighs with your slimmer upper body, go for a slight boot-cut or straight leg. Make sure the jeans are not too tight around your thigh. A medium to high-rise waist flattens the tummy. Larger or higher back pockets will make a large bum appear smaller.
Apple Shaped
If you have slim limbs and carry your weight around your middle, you should Wear a slim-leg stretch-denim boot cut in order to create the slimmest look. A high rise helps hide a few extra pounds in the middle. Higher back pockets will also help lift your bum.
Plus Size
Look for a middle to high-rise straight-leg in dark denim, preferably with stretch lycra. Avoid tapered legs and bulky front pockets. A good idea maybe to try some Men’s jeans as their style may suit and fit you better.

My sister recently told me that I was a “pear” shape. I almost cried. I hate being referred to as a fruit. I know that most people use these terms to describe our shape, but there must be a nicer way to call my shape. So I decided to do some research…
I found a website that actually uses much better terms to describe our bodies. They use jewel types……what a great idea and way to describe our bodies! I am no longer “pear shaped…..instead I am “sapphire” shaped. I like that sooo much better. The website is http://www.holobi.com.., kudos to them for thinking of this. My sister is a “diamond”…I hate her.
