DailyOutfit Body Types:  Jean by Body Type

Are you wearing the correct cut of jeans for your body?

A boot-cut jean balances hips or a full midsection. Skinny jeans emphasize length, but if you have more volume on top, they will throw the balance of your overall look off. Jeggings emphasize your curves, which may or may not work for you. Trouser jeans are universally flattering. Use this chart to find the best fashion to figure match:
