Skinny
Low rise
High-waisted
Capri
Flare
Do's
-
All leg lines that are wider in their hemline e.g. boot-cut, flared and wide leg (unless you are short in height). They will give a long and lean look and make you look balanced.
-
Pockets, embellishment, colour and print will all work for you - look for styles that enhance your backside.
-
Slim frames can benefit from side pockets, which create a fuller thigh.
-
Look for jeans with a yoke in the back, which can make your backside look fuller.
-
Consider low rise (medium rise is ok) jeans with a contoured waistline.
-
Strategically placed washes or embellishments in the front and back pocket areas will attract attention to your hips.
-
Also lighter washes or fades along the legs and knees add shape to thighs.
-
Boyfriend and baggy jeans will look great on you since they will also balance out your silhouette.
-
The choice is yours when it comes to details on bottom and thigh area. As well extra fabric in these areas will be a good look for you.
-
Turn ups are a great style line for you.
Don'ts
-
Never use tapered jeans or any that are tight in the knees – it will emphasise your broader shoulders and leaner hips and bum.
-
Avoid standard straight legged jeans.
-
Avoid jeans with very small waistbands.
-
Avoid pocket-less jeans.
-
Jeans in darker colours will make your hips appear smaller.
-
Avoid styles and shapes that will have a slimming and narrowing effect from your waist down.
