You can find the perfect fitting pair of jeans by focusing on your body type and the type of jeans that you choose. These tips will show you how.

Difficulty: Moderate
Instructions
  1. Step 1

    Look for jeans with a flared leg and relaxed cut if you are hippy or have a wider butt. The wider leg bottoms balances with the width of your body and the relaxed cut will give you room for those extra curves.

  2. Step 2

    Choosing jeans with stretch gives you a better fit on any body type because the jeans mold to your body shape.

  3. Step 3

    Avoid taper-legged jeans unless you are very skinny. These don't look good on anyone who is bigger than model size.

  4. Step 4

    Look for jeans with tapered waist bands if you have a small waist and bigger hips. Many popular brands have this choice now.

  5. Step 5

    Look for sizes that have a "T" beside it if you are tall. The "T" stands for tall.

  6. Step 6

    Look for a "P" if you are short. The "P" stands for petite.

  7. Step 7

    If you are of average height, around 5'4", look for labels with an "A". The "A" stands for average.

Tips & Warnings
  • Be honest about your size. If you need to go up a jean size to get the perfect fit, do it!
