Find the Right Jeans for Your Body at the Right Price!

Denim can be a girl's best friend and sometimes it can be the worst enemy (I'm looking at you muffin top).  Getting the right fit is imperative for looking your best this fall. I came across this great article about what denim is best for each body type. The article also showed where you could purchase each style of denim, but to myself and to many people I know, those prices are a tad unreasonable. Below I have found two pairs of jeans for each body type (with lengths for petite and average/tall). I hope this helps you as you shop this fall!


If you are Pear-Shaped (bigger on the bottom)...

You should stick to either straight leg or slightly bootcut/flared jeans. Higher waistlines and darker washes work best at slimming your hips, thighs and booty.

If you are Apple-Shaped (have a little extra in the tummy) ...

You should stick to mid rise or high rise jeans in medium to dark colors. Jeans with a straight leg or slightly flared will work best for you.

If you have a Curvy shape...
Avoid lower rise jeans and go for trouser jeans to balance out your shape. If you want a slimmer fit, you can go for a straight leg jean.

If you are Boy-Shaped...
You should avoid baggy styles and go for form fitting styles like skinny jeans, straight leg jeans and trouser jeans. Wide leg and flared styles are something you should avoid.
