WHICH JEANS FOR WHICH BODY SHAPE?
Our goal: to make you look your best. No value judgments in this article, quite the opposite. Tips and tricks for finding the pants that make you shine—that's all you'll find!
And to start, we're going to take a quick look at all the different body shapes and cuts of jeans that exist.
Because to find pants that fit your leg, you first need to know your body type. If we had to categorize them, here are the 6 body types that we can identify:
Morpho A – Morpho 8 – Morpho X – Morpho V – Morpho H – Morpho O
And to complement your legs, you have the choice between different cuts of jeans :
Skinny – Slim – Boyfriend – Girlfriend – Bootcut – Flare – Straight – Mom – Large
That's the problem: there are sometimes too many choices. So which cut should you choose based on your body type?
Before proceeding by morphology, we look at the size of your legs.
THE LITTLE ONES
For the smaller among you, we recommend avoiding flared and bootcut cuts, which tend to flatten your figure. Instead, to make you look taller and show off your legs, opt for slim or straight cuts. Generally, opt for fairly tubular shapes!
THE BIG ONES
For longer legs, you have two options: highlight them or break up the length. In either case, the advice remains the same: a slim fit to elongate the silhouette, and wide, flared, or bootcut cuts to stop the long-legged effect. Be careful, however, with flared jeans, which can sometimes be too short, even if the style is appreciated.
MORPHOLOGY A
If you have generous hips, opt for straight-leg jeans with high waists. This cut isn't tight-fitting, allowing you to harmoniously highlight your curves. To balance your figure, you can also opt for bootcut jeans with flared legs.
MORPHOLOGY H
The goal for you is to highlight your curves. In this case, go for slim or straight jeans; they shape your figure and your legs. Carrot pants, literally wider at the top and more fitted at the bottom of the legs, are also made for you.
MORPHOLOGY O
For you, there's no doubt that high-waisted jeans are your best friend. We recommend mom, carrot, or straight jeans, which, with their high waist, accentuate your waist while elongating your legs. To accentuate your waist, you can also enhance your look with a beautiful belt! Finally, you can go for dark colors!
MORPHOLOGY V
Your turn! For V-shaped bodies, we're more focused on balance and creating a harmonious silhouette. We're therefore more likely to opt for girlfriend, bootcut, or flare jeans to add volume below the waist. As you've probably guessed, slim or straight jeans aren't the most suitable.
MORPHOLOGY 8
If you have curves and a defined waist, you're lucky because when it comes to jeans, you can get away with a lot. In any case, jeans will fit your curves and highlight them, especially slim jeans. On the other hand, if you want a straighter silhouette, girlfriend and straight jeans, for example, should delight you.
MORPHOLOGY X
You have an hourglass body shape. And just like the O-shaped body shape, you can wear a lot of things. Flared, bootcut, mom, or slim: the choice is yours. Jeans with high waists and different volume placements to highlight your natural curves and structure your waist are our only advice.
You now have all the information you need to choose the jeans of your dreams. Our advice is just that; it's up to you to decide what suits you best!
