Jeans Body Type - slim, athletic, curvy, full figured body types. Choosing the right pair of  womens jeans.

Slim body types:  Look for jeans that run straight from the hips through the knee, with a slight flare at the leg opening. Low-rise jeans with a high back and lower front are another good choice. Or, if you’re looking for a snug fit, choose jeans that are tight around the waist and backside.

Athletic body types: If you have athletic legs and narrow hips, consider a low-rise jean with a contoured waistband. Legs that taper out to a graceful and generous boot cut are also flattering—but without giving you the retro bell-bottom look. Or, to give the appearance of wider hips and a fuller backside, choose a cigarette-style jean. 

Curvy body types: If you have great curves to accentuate, choose jeans that run straight from the hips through the knee with a slight or more generous flare at the leg opening. A wide boot-cut silhouette is also flattering.

Full-figured body types: Choose a traditional five-pocket-style jean that isn’t too snug and has a little give. Many jeans are woven with spandex, so that they stretch nicely to your frame. Citizens of Humanity jeans are also hugely popular due to a mix of 2 percent Lycra and 98 percent cotton denim, which results in a slimmer, taller appearance. Remember also that a slight flare at the leg opening, such as a boot cut, will help to balance a wider or fuller figure, as well as make your legs look longer. Always opt for jeans in darker shades, as they’ll have a naturally slimming effect.
