When you look great, you feel great—and the key is dressing for your unique body frame. This guide will show you the best ways to highlight your body type by choosing the right jeans. But first things first…What’s your body type?
Rectangle body shape
Ladies with rectangle body shapes usually have small waists, the hips tend to have a similar width as the shoulders, the bust tends to be small or average and the bottom tends to be flat. This is one of the easier body types to dress. Jeans that fit you:
Skinny Jeans
Rectangles are the best body type to pull off skinny jeans. The skinny jeans beautifully highlights your slim legs.
Boyfriend Jeans
Boyfriend jeans are also a match made in heaven for your body type. They fall loose on the hips, creating more waist. Wear the boyfriend jeans with the bottoms rolled up to put even more emphasis on your waist.
Triangle Shape Body
Triangle-shaped ladies carry their weight in their bottom half and have slender upper bodies. Jeans that fit you:
Trouser jeans
If you have a triangle shape figure you will look great in jeans that lengthen your legs and slim down your lower body. If you have full hips, buttocks, and thighs, choose trouser jeans to create a long, continuous line from hips to ankles. Also opt for dark jeans with large back pockets.
Bootcut Jeans
Bootcut jeans are great for a triangle shape as they’re typically tight around the upper thigh area and flared under the knee. The tightness of the upper thigh allows for some tuck control in the upper thigh area while allowing for a more balanced silhouette. The flared bottom half will balance out a wider hip.
Straight Jeans
Straight jeans are great for triangle shaped ladies because they glide over the hips and fall to the feet in a straight line. It helps to streamline and slim the body visually, which is very flattering.
Hourglass Shape Body
Hourglass ladies have curves. They have tiny waists and a larger bust and hips, which are of similar size. Jeans that fit you:
Bootcut Jeans
The bootcut jean is an hourglass lady’s best friend. The slight flare at the bottom balances out your body proportions as it mimics the curve of your hip. Opt for denim with a little bit of stretch to accommodate wider hips.
High-Waisted Flared Jeans
Another option is high-waisted denim with a flared leg. This is great for hourglass ladies as it emphasizes their tiny waists. This silhouette balances out your generous hips, while the high-waist accentuates your best asset, your waist.
Inverted triangle Body Shape
Women with inverted triangle body shapes usually have a narrow waist, relatively narrow hips and rather broad shoulders. They have lean and athletic legs and a richly filled bosom. Their shoulders are the broadest part of their body. Jeans that fit you:
Bootcut jeans and flared jeans
Bootcut jeans will balance the lower half of your body with your shoulders because they are wider at the bottom. Look for back pockets that have a twist so that you create some kind of shape, or even go for pockets with a flap. That way you widen your hips and your rear.
Boy- or girlfriend jeans
Boyfriend or girlfriend jeans give the same effect and therefore work incredibly well on your body shape. They are looser around the bottom half of your body. However, if you really want to go for skinny jeans, you can, but combine them with knee-high boots. The boots will widen your figure and thus balance the top and the bottom half of your body.
Round (Apple) Body Shape
An apple figure carries most of her weight in the breasts, abdomen and buttocks and has slim legs and narrow shoulders. Jeans that fit you:
High-Waisted Flared Jeans
High-waisted jeans are perfect for an apple body shape because the high waistband allows for opportunity to better define the waist, especially with a tucked in top.
Dark, Skinny Denim
Apple body types have great legs, and should seize the opportunity to show them off in dark, skinny denim.

Finding the perfect fit is not easy. Trying on a bunch of them until you find the right one is the key message. Our sales advisors at LolaLiza will be more than happy to help you with that. However, what really matters is that you feel good in your jeans.
