Say goodbye to muffin tops, saggy crotches and too-short legs. The Simply Her team tested several pairs of jeans to bring you the best ones for your body type.
LONG & LEGGY
“Being tall and lanky does have its disadvantages. Jeans usually make my body look like a plank, and the legs are never long enough. I’m looking for a pair that will me give the illusion of curves – and a butt!” – features editor Yuen Ching
VERDICT “The mid-rise jeans make my hips look fuller and the legs are an ideal length, ending just at the ankle bone. The upper thigh area is snug, not tight. The slim cut enhances my long legs, while the quilted pockets make my bottom look lifted and slightly rounded. This pair is certainly flattering on long, leggy women.”
CURVY
“It’s not easy finding jeans that can accommodate my curves. If a pair fits me, the legs are way too long. And then there’s that annoying muffin top! I’d like a pair that feels comfortable around my hips and thighs, moulds my butt nicely and makes me look slim.” – fashion writer Melissa
VERDICT
“This is a super-dark wash in stretch denim with contrasting trim. The linear, midrise style makes my hips and thighs look slim. I love that this pair has stretch, because it skims my curves nicely, so I actually feel thinner! There are no unsightly bulges either, thanks to the fitted, contoured waistband.”
