Pear Shaped
Your hips are slightly wider than your shoulders with a slim upper area and bust with widening at the hips.
The waistband is always tricky when you are pear shaped. So be wary of choosing a size larger to accommodate your hips and leaving a gape at the back of the waist.
Choose a pair of jeans with the waistband sitting on your hips with a higher back rise. Double fastening at the front also flatters the hip area. Alternatively try a high waist style with a wide leg.
You need to give balance to your curves so choosing a boot cut or flare legged pair of jeans is best.
Front seams and a dark wash slim down the figure.

Apple
Most of your weight is carried on the upper part of your body, tummy area and bust. You normally have a flat bottom and thin legs.
Its best to stick with a wider waistband as thinner waistbands tend to give you the dreaded muffin top look. Look for a curved waistband which is higher at the back.
Choose from a straight leg, shoe cut, bootleg or medium flare.
Pockets and a curved yoke at the back of the jeans give the impression of a curvier behind

Boyish/Athletic
If you lack curves and tend to think of yourself as ‘straight up straight down’ then you are most likely of the athletic figure.
Low rise and hip hugging waistbands are ideal for your shape as you want to break the vertical line of your body and create the impression of curves.
Flared and boot cut jeans and great for creating curves on a boyish figure, however you can also pull off the skinny fit jeans! Avoid loose and baggy styles.

Tall
Your upper body and lower body are in proportion with a small bust. Normally needing a 36” leg or longer.
You can go as high or as low as you dare on the waistband, and choose skinny jeans of they are age appropriate. Wide leg or poker straight fit is great for you taller gals!
Suggested Jeans: Crew, Mila, Supercat, Palos, Speed, Liberty, Mabel, Lula
Petite
You are 5ft3 or smaller with a petite or curvy frame.
Petite come is all shapes and sizes so pay attention to your body shape also. Mid or low rise waistband always works well.
Keep the leg style narrow and choose a longer length to wear with heels to elongate your frame.
A front seam blasted look also gives the illusion of a longer leg.
Keeps the pockets to a minimum to keep your proportions.
