Going shopping for jeans can be a fun and exciting experience but it can also come with a lot of hassle when you don’t know what you are looking for. Shopping for the right jeans for your body type can often seem overwhelming. There are so many styles and cuts to choose from that it can be hard to know what the right choice is. 

Shopping for jeans doesn’t have to be an overwhelming process. Knowing how to shop for your body type is the first key to making jeans shopping easier. Overall the key to choosing the right pair of jeans is finding a pair that fits the waist comfortably but also securely. It is also important to make sure the legs offer a good fit and if necessary take jeans to a tailor for resizing. Below is just a simple breakdown of the best types of jeans for each body type:

1. High waisted jeans

High-waisted jeans are great for a variety of different body types. They may be good for those who have a more short and petite build as the high-waist can give the illusion of a longer body. High-waisted jeans are also great for those who may not have the most flattering midsection and want to cover it up. High-waisted jeans go great with crop tops and a variety of other fun shirts. 

2. Mom jeans

Mom jeans look great on everybody not just moms. They are great for covering up flabby or unflattering mid sections especially after having a child. They are also a great way to find a nice pair of comfortable jeans that fit just right. Although mom jean pants tend to be slightly baggier they can also help flatter any figure. They usually are wider in the legs and taper on the bottom which is also perfect for those who may be looking for more leg room with their jeans.

3. Skinny jeans

Skinny jeans look great on pretty much any body type as they help to give the body a more contoured and flattering look. Skinny jean pants come in a variety of different colors and patterns for any taste or style. For curvier girls choosing a skinny jean that is dark in color can help contour the body even more. For those who are slimmer using brighter and lighter colors can help bring more depth and style to a smaller body frame. 

4. Flared jeans

Flare jeans are still very popular although they hit their height of popularity many decades ago. Flared jeans are perfect for shorter body frames as they can add some height and dimension to the body. Flared jeans are also great for anyone looking for a contoured look without the tightness at the ankle.
