The perfect pair of denim jeans is a staple for any wardrobe. But the trick is to find the pair that’s going to be comfortable and look good on your body. Depending on your body type, jeans can add volume, slim down, and even become the focal point of your outfit. Read on to discover what jeans are best for a triangle body type, rectangle body type, hourglass body type, and apple body type!

1. Triangle
Triangle body types are blessed with curvy hips and thighs. Wear dark denim to make them look slender and bring attention to your top half. Avoid super tight skinny jeans, as these will emphasize your body proportions. Stick to straight leg, bootcut, and high waisted jeans. Straight legs will deemphasize your thighs, and bootcut jeans have a little flare on the bottom which will balance out your proportions. High waisted jeans are especially flattering on you because they will make your legs look longer and thinner. Avoid distressing that will break up the lines and draw more attention to your legs.

2. Rectangle
Rectangle body types, or sometimes athletic body types, have straighter waists with similar hips, shoulder, and bust measurements. This body shape can get away with wearing many different types of jeans, as long as they correlate well with the top! Skinny jeans, straight let, flare, and wide-leg pants all look good on this body type. Skinny and straight-leg pants should have looser-fitting tops while flare and wide-leg pants need tighter tops to highlight one area of the body. Feel free to play with embellishments, different colors, and distressing.

3. Hourglass
Most jeans look good on you, as your small waist and larger bust are already proportional to your larger hips. Flared, bootcut, and skinny jeans all highlight your curves. Skinny jeans will put extra emphasis on your hips and thighs, while bootcut and flared pants mimic the proportions from your bust and hips. High-waisted pants also look especially good on you because they highlight your slim waistline.

4. Apple
Apple body shapes should use straight leg jeans to highlight their legs, as they tend to have slender hips and thighs. The trick is to not wear jeans that are too tight, which will put extra emphasis on your larger bust and waist in comparison. Look for slim straight jeans to balance, or play with wide-leg or flared jeans to match your upper body proportions. Feel free to wear distressed jeans, light wash, and colored jeans, which will add volume and bring attention down.
