EC: Can you provide us with suggestions of jeans that will work best for the following body types:
EY:
High-waisted
Seven Dojo Bootcut , Seven Jagger Boot, Paige Hollywood Hills Boot, J Brand Skinny
Low-waisted
Seven "A" Pocket Flare, Paige Laurel Canyon Boot, any Rock & Republic jean, Antik Denim, Hudson Jeans, True Religion.
Pear shape
Flare jeans are the best. Try Seven, Rock, Citizens, Fidelity and Taverniti. For skinny, try straight leg jeans. It will balance out the hips much better than a super-skinny jean.
Boy shape
J Brand would probably be the best brand for this body type. She can also wear a super-skinny jean. We have a new brand from the UK called Superfine that will work beautifully.
Athletic shape
This body type means a narrow waist and wide shoulders. She can wear any style of jean. To elongate the body, wear tunic style tops that will minimize the width of the shoulders. She can also pull off the super-skinny if she also has narrow hips.
Hourglass figure
This is probably the most problematic as most jeans will have to be taken in at the waist. Similar to a pear shape, the flare jean will work the best. For skinny, try the straight leg. Seven, Citizens, Fidelity.
Full-figured/plus-sized
Flare, boot or straight leg jeans. Try Seven, Citizens, Taverniti, Fidelity.
Petite
Low-waisted jeans are best, while flare jeans may be too overpowering if your legs are short. Boot or skinny jeans will work best with this body type. Try ones from Seven, Citizens, J Brand, Earnest Sewn, Gold Sign. Remember to wear heels unless you are perfectly proportioned in which case you can wear flats.
