There is no ideal body type, do not try to imitate someone’s look when buying jeans

The fashion world is a rather rapidly changing landscape, where trends come and go all the time, and people make the mistake of thinking the newest fad will make them look better. Now, most companies want to target your insecurities, so you keep buying more and more clothes, until your closet is filled with things you don’t need. That’s the opposite of what you should be doing. You can have a variety of clothes to suit different occasions, but you need to make sure the clothes you pick out work best for you.

Finding the Perfect Fit

Straight Leg

Jeans are puzzle pieces, and some fits are just waiting to help you complete the picture. Straight-fit jeans are, simply put, the most relaxed look. If you want to appear and feel laidback, and don’t want to hop around for twenty minutes to get your pants on, this is the go-to. They look best on rectangular body types but work just as well with pear or hourglass figures.

Boyfriend Jeans

For people that have the inverted triangle body shape, there’s no better option than boyfriend jeans. The distressed, grungy look is a perfect pair for those of us with broader shoulders, and the looser fit can help your hips look fuller. It’s not just the hoodies you need to steal from the guys’ sections, it’s the jeans too.

Bootcut Jeans

The past few years have seen wider hips become the de facto beauty standard, and if you want to show those off, then bootcut jeans are the right fit for you. They’re snug at the hips and thighs, while flaring out around the ankles. They work great with low-heeled boots—which are also going to make your curves pop—and a lot of brands have started making boot cuts with a stretchy waistline. It’s a win-win for everyone.

Skinny Jeans

Despite the name, these aren’t meant for solely model-like figures. Generally, people who feel too skinny lean towards these jeans to hide how slim they are. The same way being a bit on the heavy side can lead to self-image issues, being underweight can have the same effect, so it’s a good way to turn one’s supposed ‘weakness’ into a strength. Pairing these jeans with loose-fitted tops can create a trendy look. If you’re tall and athletic, form-fitting jeans and clothes can be a great way to complement your height. Zendaya certainly sports that look often enough, and she’s the youngest Emmy winner ever. There’s definitely some secret sauce there.
