Best jeans for tall and curvy women
Best jeans for tall women
If you're tall and slender, you can wear skinny jeans to accentuate your curves. Skinny jeans pair well with flat shoes so you can avoid wearing heels.
If you're tall and "hippy" you can balance out your shape by looking for jeans with a boot cut or slightly flared leg. Trouser jeans also work well because they maintain proportion and create the look of a nice straight leg. Dark-coloured denims help to elongate and slim your body.
Best jeans for curvy and hourglass-shaped women
If you've got wide hips and ample buttocks, jean styles labeled "relaxed fit" usually have the slack you need in the hips and bum area. But mind your butt! Too much extra space in the back of your jeans can make you appear to have a saggy rear.
If you're wide at the hips, but have a very narrow waist (as in the hourglass shape), you may need a tailor to take in your jeans at the waist. Find the proper fit for your hips and behind, and then alter the waist accordingly.
Darker colours make you look slimmer. Similarly, higher waistbands can help conceal the dreaded muffin top.
Small pockets can emphasize a larger tush, so look for pockets in proportion to your body.
