| LOOK FOR… A dark, even wash with a slight flare and stretch. AVOID… Super-skinny jeans, high-waist styles and really wide legs. DON'T FORGET… • Try a slightly lower rise; it will allow room for the derrière. • A boot-cut style will balance out the body. • Avoid small back pockets, which will make the behind look bigger.

| LOOK FOR… Styles that hit near your natural waist with straight or slightly flared legs. AVOID… Hip-huggers, cropped cuts and anything overly baggy. DON'T FORGET… • Trouser jeans with a tucked-in blouse can whittle the waist. • Flared styles should be subtle in shape. • Wear jeans with a cropped jacket to shorten the torso.

| LOOK FOR… A lower rise and a longer hem length. AVOID… High-waist styles and details around the top. DON'T FORGET… • Belts should blend in by being slim and neutral. • Skinny jeans with longer, untucked tops camouflage your waist. • Boyfriend styles that sit on the hips are great weekend alternatives.

| LOOK FOR… Styles with at least a bit of stretch and straight or flared legs. You might have to fit your hips and behind, then have a tailor take in the waist. AVOID… Super-low-cut styles that will sit mid-hip and skinny jeans that are too tight on the bottom half of your legs. DON'T FORGET… • For tighter styles, try going a size up and tailoring them. • Dark washes are most slimming. • Opt for minimal hip details, avoid pocket embroidery.

| LOOK FOR… A classic style that doesn’t overwhelm your small frame and one with a natural waist. AVOID… Wide-leg jeans and low rises. DON'T FORGET… • Wear legs slightly long, and pair your jeans with heels. • Darker rinses can have an elongating look. • Skinny styles should also be long, not cropped.

| LOOK FOR… Low-rise, straight-leg styles with a fitted behind. AVOID… Flares cut for curvier shapes.
