Jaw-Dropping Jeans for Every Figure

Original Content | January 01, 2006

Who doesn't own a pair of jeans? But do you own a pair that makes your bum look fabulous, your legs long and your stomach flat? With a few simple fashion pointers, pros Trinny Woodall and Susannah Constantine set out to get women of all shapes and sizes out of frumpy "mom jeans" and into jaw-dropping denim!

There's no more classic look than a great white top with a fabulous-fitting pair of jeans—unless they're these jeans! Trinny and Susannah model what jeans not to wear. Here are their rules for avoiding these unflattering denim looks.

Tapered or high-waisted jeans make your legs look shorter, your stomach bigger and your rear longer. And if you're pear-shaped like Trinny (pictured left), tapered jeans exaggerate the width of your hips.
If you have a flabby belly, don't wear low hipster jeans.
Unless you want to look heavier than you are, never wear light colored jeans.
Don't wear a pair of jeans with a high heel unless the jean comes down to the floor and covers the heel.
