CHEAP & CHIC: Best Jeans for Your Bod
GL scoured the stores and found best denim to flatter your body. Bonus: They’ll fit right into your back-to-school budget, too. Let’s face it, there’s nothing better than slipping into the perfect pair of jeans!
If you are curvy with wider hips and a full bust, you’re sportin’ an hourglass figure. It’s all about finding jeans to your shape – not hide it!
Look for: Flared or trouser jeans in dark washes. Lower-rise waists fit great—just make sure the waistband doesn’t cut in. Stretch denim will hug your cute curves!
Pass by: Loose-fitting jeans that have no structure or definition. Also, skip whisker detailing and stick to one-color denim.

Got a booty? Good news, designers are sewing up jeans just for Y-O-U!
Look for: Simple pockets that are big or angled that’ll totally work with your backside. Dark washes in stretch denim create a clean, sleek look. Find a pair that fit slim in the thigh, but not too tight in the calf in order to create the perfect balance.
Pass by: Embellishments and any kind of crazy fading on the backsides.

You super-short sistas out there should look for pants that create looong lines. They’ll give ya length!
Look for: High waists (no higher than the belly-button, please!) are perfect to create the illusion of height. Straight legs, teeny flares and skinny jeans all give your gams length.
Pass by: Bellbottoms and baggy jeans may make ya look shorter

Already long and lean? You wanna to create curves where there aren’t any.
Look for: Skinny jeans, because of their tightness, accentuate the hips, and when bunched up at the bottom they trick the eye into seeing a wider calf. Extra-wide legs work well with your height and create a rounder body shape.
Pass by: Any jeans that aren’t actually long enough for ya. Lotsa online versions of your mall faves have loonger pants. So long on and snap them up.
