From bootcut to boyfriend, check out these denim jeans for every body type.
There’s nothing more classic, and more American, than denim. Whether you’re doing intense labor or trying your best to look cute, denim is that girl. But you can’t just throw a swatch of the versatile, classic fabric across your body and think you’re done!
If you want to make the most impact, you’ll have to know and understand the shape of your body to determine which styles will look best. (And believe it or not, there’s actually a foolproof way to do that.)
21Ninety has searched far and wide for all types of jeans, and we’ve finally come up with what we think is the definitive list of the best jeans for every body type. Whether you’re pear-shaped, hourglass-shaped, or somewhere in between, there’s always a perfect fit for you.
For example…
High Waisted, Plus Size Stretch Distressed Skinny Jeans
If your hips are slightly wider than your waist and bust, these skinny jeans should flatter your shape perfectly. These jeans are also great for women who have thicker thighs. This stretchy material expands where you need it to and grips the smaller places. This style is also designed to hug your booty just right.
Levi’s Women’s 720 High Rise Super Skinny Jeans
Naturally skinny jeans look great on people who have a more rectangle, straight up and down shape. The fit helps to contour to the curves of your body in your legs. Because the curves elsewhere might be…minimal. But this shape is also great for people who have an hourglass figure.
Floerns Women’s Plus Size High Waist Ripped Jeans Straight Leg Denim Pants
If you’re small on top and wider on the bottom, these straight jeans will certainly work for your body type. The wide leg helps to even out the proportions of your bottom half, while drawing attention to your waist. The baggy jean look is all the rage these days. And I’m glad about it. This denim offers you comfort without sacrificing style. This pair will have you right on trend.
Women’s Flare Bell Bottom Jeans Destroyed Flare Denim Pants
Looking to add a little bit of 70s flair to your look, these pants are just what you need. They’ll give you the hips you’ve always wanted, whether you have them or not. They work very well for full thighs and smaller calves. You can pull off this look anywhere. Your only concern will be making sure the ends don’t fray as they scrape the ground.
Butt Lifting Colombian Jeans
The pressures to have a round behind are very real for Black women. But quiet as it’s kept, not all of us are naturally born with that shape. If you want to opt out of the BBL, spend your money on these butt lifting jeans. They hug and prop you up in the perfect places.
Silver Jeans Co. Women’s Tuesday Low Rise Slim Bootcut Jeans
If you have a short torso, you might want to skip the high rise trend that currently has all of the girlies in a chokehold. Low rise jeans will balance out your top and bottom half. This style will also emphasize your hip area. So if you have more of an athletic build, these are for you.
