Tall

While many women dream of Victoria's Secret Angels legs, it can be challenging for these tall ladies to find a pants that doesn't leave them with an awkward foot-to-ankle gap. Look for jeans that come in extra long styles as well as cropped styles that are shorter on purpose. Pants with folded pipes are also suitable for a figure with long legs, since the horizontal lines break the legs on the right point. Jeans with wide pipes would flatter a tall woman's figure too.

Petite

The biggest issue of short legs is probably length. Go for a pants with a high waist to create the illusion of longer legs. The high waisted jeans cuts a couple of centimetres from your upper body part, which makes it look like your legs start earlier. Leave the lighter pants and look for dark washes instead to elongate your legs with the best result. 

Small hips

For a body with small hips, skinny jeans are very suitable, as it makes the hips look rounder. This is because the pants are tight around the legs. Besides that, mid rise pants are perfect. Meanwhile, a high-waisted pants is a no-go. It gives a straight and manly figure.

Big hips

As much as we envy your Shakira-like hips, finding jeans that fit is no easy task. Make sure to stay away from low-rise skinny styles that accentuate the hip, and instead turn to jeans with a straight shape. This makes your lower body part look more straight and your hips less striking. Do you have long legs besides that? In that case, jeans with wide pipes would also look great on you. Leave the jeans with too much details and pockets that will make the focus around your hips only worse.

Plus-size

For the best fit, look for jeans with a mid-to-high rise, dark washes and plenty of stretch to elongate your legs and streamline your whole look. The darker the wash, the better. Jeans in a dark color are not only chic, but they make you look taller and slimmer instantly. Skip the baggy jeans, though. They'll only make you appear bigger.

Jeans are a fashion staple in every woman's closet, but the style of the jeans you wear can make or break your look. If you pick your jeans based on your body type, you'll be able to pull them off with confidence. But remember: the most important thing with choosing a jeans is, of course, that you will feel good and comfortable in it.
