Choosing the perfect pair of jeans for your shape can be such a mission at times. There are a few basic rules to consider:

--IF YOU HAVE SHORT LEGS--
- Opt for a high waisted pair, when you wear these with a simple t-shirt tucked in it creates an effect that elongates your figure. A pair of skinny jeans with a high waist are extremely flattering, but you may have to get them tailored so they are the right length for you.
- Some brands have skinny jeans with zips at the ends, these are good when worn over shoes. A good brand to try for these is Ksubi.


--IF YOU HAVE LARGE THIGHS--
- A dark wash is the most flattering, dark blue or black are very versatile and can be worn to work as well
- A wide leg pair is a good idea as they balance out the entire leg, not to mention they are very fashionable at the moment
- Boot cut is also flattering to this shape

--IF YOU HAVE A BIG BUM--
- Go for a slightly flared pair in a darker wash
- The closer together pockets are, the bigger your bum will appear
- High waisted jeans aren't your best bet here, choose low-rise styles for a much more flattering look
- Wear a bright, eyecatching top to draw the eyes up and away from your bottom

--IF YOU HAVE LONG, THIN LEGS--
- You can pull of pretty much any style
- Avoid high-waisted jeans however, as these may make your legs seem too long
- Low rise, skinny jeans are are a great option for you
- You are one of the few body shapes that can pull off light wash denim
- If you are self conscious about your skinny legs, wear a structured wide leg pair made out of stiff denim

--IF YOU HAVE A BIG TUMMY--
- Don't wear low-rise, this will result in muffin tops (not very attractive!)
- Choose a mid-rise/high-rise pair in a stretch denim so you don't get those muffin tops

--------------

And remember, always buy your jeans a size smaller - they WILL stretch and you don't want a saggy pair!
