Bootcuts and flares are great if you have hips as they balance them out to give you a great silhouette. If you're narrower and don't have curvy hips then be aware they can sometimes swamp your body, making you look a bit out of proportion. Remember that you may want these jeans to wear with heels and be close to the ground, so it might be worth considering a pair which are slightly longer then your usual leg length.
Baby Bootcut
Straight Leg
Straight legged jeans are a lot more versatile than bootcuts and are a more flattering option if you don't have hips. Those with hips can still pull off the straight leg, as it's a very flattering cut. They can be a nice alternative to a skinny jean if you're not comfortable in this cut. When worn with heels they can make your legs look super long.
Skinny
Skinnys can be very flattering and could work for any body shape as long as they are worn right. If you're slim then you won't have a problem looking great in skinny jeans. If you're a bit curvier, you might feel more comfortable with a longer top worn over your skinny jeans, and looks great with a nice pair of heels. It's a great cut to tuck into boots too, so are very versatile. Do remember though that you might probably won't want these to be the same length as a pair of bootcut or flares you might buy, as you'll want them to stop at your ankle.
Super high rise
This cut is great for those who are tall and slim and can be pulled off really well for those with a flat stomach. They do have a tendency to make shorter, curvier people appear shorter, so in this instance a slim fit or bootcut could be ideal.
Low rise
Low rise jeans are very flattering on a smaller frame, they can give you a great silhouette and can go with any top. They do have the potential to show a 'muffin top' so try not to buy a size which might be a bit too tight.
Boyfriend
These jeans can be worn by anyone of any size and frame, and they're very comfortable. They don't always have to super baggy and often do look better slightly more fitted. Worn with the right top and shoes, they can look great on anyone.
Jeans to flatter your figure
Smaller bums
Those with smaller bums want to wear jeans with small pockets as these can make your behind look more pert, but try and stay away from big pockets as they tend not to be flattering on you. Flap pockets are also good and give the appearance of a rounded bottom.
Bigger bums
If you have a bigger bum, then you can wear jeans with pretty much any pocket size or shape, although it's best to stay away from small pockets as this can make your bottom look bigger than it is.
Tall
If you are tall it can be hard to find jeans that are long enough, especially if you want to wear then with heels, so it might be worth looking at skinny jeans as you don't want these to be any longer than down to your ankle.
Petite
It can be hard to find shorter length jeans, so it might better to consider boot cut jeans as these can be easily worn with heels and can still look great nearly touching the ground.
Jean buying tips to remember
When wearing heels with your bootcuts or straight leg jeans make sure the hem is about
1cm off of the floor, if the hem of your jeans covers the heel it will give the illusion of longer legs.
You don't want tight skinny jeans to be too long, they need to fit just below the ankle as they're too tight to fit over a shoe or boot.
Wearing jeans with pockets that are positioned where your bottom meets the thigh is perfect, it
makes you have a rounded and shapely bum.
If your jeans are a little too tight and are giving you a muffin top, wear a looser longer top to cover it.
