The ideal cut for this shape is Boot cut because it balances the proportion of the curves of the body. Also try to find something with a dark wash.  Other options that could work for this body type are the Flare cut, Wide leg, and the boyfriend cut.

Boot cut or straight cut are the best. Other good options are the slim fit and the boyfriend cut. Try to get jean that are made more of a stretch materials.

Tips

  • When you find jeans that fit you perfectly, after washing them skip the dryer. Heat destroys stretch fibers.
  • On wide leg denim always wear high heels or at least a wedge.
  • When wearing skinny try to balance the look with a loose top.
  • If you can wear denim to the office try a darker wash. Add a blazer for a more dress up look.
  • Accessories are very important when going casual. They can make your outfit in whatever style you want
  • Be adventures and try new colors
  • Most importantly, trends come and go but always stay with the cut that fits you the best!

Hot Denim Trends to Try this Fall

Slim Bell- Bottoms

My friend Alexis ( AKA the guru of all things Jeans) introduce me to this cut while shopping for new jeans. They are very similar to bell- bottoms; slimmer through the thigh and leg but with a slimmer flair than regular bell-bottoms.
