In addition, there are also doubts about how best to combine and which shoes can enhance the look and make the look more beautiful with jeans.

To help when choosing the ideal jeans, the image consultant responsible for { fit }​ image consulting, Camila Teixeira, cited a key tip to get right when choosing: when looking in the mirror and realizing that the jeans are standing out something you don’t want to be in prominence, this probably isn’t the right pants for you.

How to wear each type of jeans

The main models of jeans are: skinny, flare, boyfriend and straight, each one favors some parts of the body and looks better with certain pieces and shoes. The image consultant shared some tips to make it easier when choosing the ideal jeans and you can check them out below.

skinny jeans

Skinny pants are the model that is tight from the hip to the ankle, drawing the curve of the body and highlighting it. So, if you don’t want to show your hips and thighs, this model is not ideal for you. If you have bulkier body parts and want to hide them, Camila’s tip is to wear a longer, looser top.

“It’s a model that goes well with sneakers, sneakers, heels and boots”, says the consultant about the best shoe. You can wear skinny with various blouse models, but, as it is a sexy and tight model, avoid blouses that are too tight to the body. If the blouse is closer to the body, the tip is to choose a third piece, such as a kimono, a vest or a blazer.

flare jeans

While the skinny is all tight, the flare pants are tight from the hip to the knee, then opening in a bell shape. If your waist is medium, that is, neither high nor low, it is a good model for all body types, as it balances the silhouette, as explained by Camila. Pay attention to the mouth, because the wider it is, it leaves the impression of a bigger hip, so if you want to disguise your hips, give preference to flares with a smaller mouth.

Another important tip is that flare pants flatten the silhouette and can make women look shorter. “If the person is short, it is better to wear it with heels and that the shoe is not visible because that way it gains more height. If you are satisfied with your height, you can wear it with flat shoes”, details the consultant. The blouses can vary from the most loose, to the most glued, like the body of the look above. To disguise your hips, a longer blouse can be a great choice.

boyfriend jeans

Boyfriend jeans are the widest of all models and also not very feminine. As its name suggests, the pants would be borrowed from the boyfriend’s wardrobe and, therefore, be so big, wide and unfeminine. For Camila, who doesn’t need or doesn’t want to look more volume, should be careful with this model.

“A heeled shoe helps elongate and refine the silhouette, as well as bringing a little femininity”, suggests the consultant. Using other pieces that bring more femininity and sensuality to the look is a great option. Be careful only with blouses that are too baggy so that, when paired with the pants, they don’t create too much volume in the whole look. It is worth betting on earrings, necklaces and other accessories that give a touch of romanticism to the look.

straight jeans

Straight jeans are the most versatile model and look beautiful on any body type. “I consider it a neutral model, because it won’t make a lot of difference for those with very thin legs, nor for those with thick legs, nor highlighting the hips”, adds Camila. Therefore, this is a model that you can choose without mistake, in addition to bringing a classic touch to your look.

There are no complications when choosing the shoe, the only warning that the consultant makes is to avoid wearing it inside the boot as it will be soaked because it is a straight model. As for the blouse, you can opt for all models and choose the one that best matches your style. For being a jeans and a classic model, it is worth risking a little more on the blouse and choosing more daring models to have a more creative look.

Camila Teixeira also shared other tips that will help you choose your ideal jeans according to your body type. Whether you have thick or thin legs, with bulky or short hips, there is always a model that suits you best and that will look beautiful on you.

1. Small butt: if you have a small butt, the best models are skinny and flare, because, according to the consultant, they give curves to the body. Also choose pants that have larger back pockets and some details.
2. Big butt: the best models for those with a big butt are straight cut, with discreet back pockets and darker washes. “Avoid low waists and very tight models, as all attention goes to the region”, guides Camila.
3. Thin legs: if the intention of women with thin legs is to add volume, the most suitable models are the boyfriend, straight or even pantaloons. “The skinny can be used as long as it is known that this region will be highlighted”, points out the consultant.
4. Thick legs: To hide thick legs, darker, straight-cut jeans are best suited to this body type. “If you opt for skinny, it’s good to wear longer and looser tops and choose pieces in colors and tones that don’t contrast too much with the pants”, is the tip that Camila gives.
5. Shorts: A key tip for short or short-legged women is that the longer the hem of the pants, the longer the leg will appear. That’s why flare and straight models are great options for those who want to look like they have a few inches more.
6. Tall: for those who are very tall or have long legs, capri models or those that make it possible to bend the bar are what help to disguise the length of the legs. “As well as low-waisted and wide-mouthed ones, as they also flatten the silhouette”, Camila resumes.
7. Plus size: straight pants are the best model for plus size women. “As well as an average waist that will give more support to the tummy, waist and side fat”, completes the consultant.
8. Disguise the culotte: for those who want to disguise the culotte, the tip is to give preference to a model that has little detail in the region, thus avoiding low waist, washing in the region and tighter legs. “Prefer models with few pockets, waist in place (median) and darker tones. ​It would be good​ to prevent the fabric from “sticking” in the region”, advises Camila.
9. Skinny: all models look good on skinny women, but if the intention is to disguise thinness a little, don’t choose very tight pants. “Give preference to models that add volume, such as flare, boyfriend, straight or pantalona.”
10. Washing: the lighter the wash of the pants, the more the model will highlight the curves and volumes, the darker it is, the more it will disguise what you don’t want to highlight.
11. Trousers hem: the ideal trouser hem is one that does not drag, but that is as close to the floor as possible, as this elongates the silhouette giving the impression of being taller and thinner.
