Opt for a straight leg skinny jean if you have a medium-sized body type. Buy a higher wasted jean that stops at the top of the hip bone, not a waist that dips below the hip. Use this style if you have a less than flat stomach. Buy a stretchy jean so you can move in them easily. Be sure they fit snugly, they will hold all the "wiggle" in and make you appear toned.

Purchase a dark wash jean if you have a larger body type. Stay away from the skinny straight leg jean and go for a boot cut style. Avoid a large flare leg style because this style will make you appear larger than you are. Wear a boot cut that fits snugly and comfortably in the buttocks area so you will have room to move in them.

Wear low rise jeans if you have a super thin body type. This will accentuate a flat stomach and enhance curves. Wearing the skinny straight leg style will possibly make you look like you are wearing a pair of leggings or tights, so go with a jean that has a little more volume at the bottom. Wear a ripped-up jean or a trendier style.

Dress an hourglass body shape with a slimming straight leg jean in any shade. Stay away from low rise jeans so you do not show off your voluptuous backside involuntarily. Wear your mid-rise jean with a nice belt to show off your hourglass shape.

Apply this same ideas from Step 5 if you are pear shaped, but with a few exceptions Buy a flair leg jean that does not go out farther than your hips so you can create an illusion of balance. Go with a dark wash or black jean If you are especially prone to wide hips, if not, any shade will be fine. Use the color to create a slimming effect. Never opt for any leg that gets smaller at the ankle; pear shapes should avoid the skinny straight leg style because you will look much shorter than you are.
