Every girl needs the ultimate pair of jeans, but how do you choose the right cut for you? There’s no mystery — just a few golden rules…Go for mid or high rise jeans to conceal any muffin tops — low rise is only for skinny girls. Boot cut jeans are fine for most people and will make you look thinner — but if you’re short then avoid them and go for a straight cut. If you have a really long torso and small legs then high waisted skinny jeans might be for you — they’ll lengthen you out in seconds, but they’re only for the uber skinny. If you’re are pear shape then try a 70s flare — they’ll hug your leg and come straight down. Just remember that you need to balance out your proportions so try a fitted jacket up top. If you’re carrying any additional weight on your legs then make sure you don’t wear jeans with embroidery or embellishments that will draw people's attention to those problem areas. You can get a skinny look and feel using a straight cut pair of jeans instead. Just make sure that it is supporting you in all the right areas — chiefly your delectable derrieres. If you’ve got a more pronounced bum then the high rise has to be for you. It will accommodate even the most bootylicious babes.
