The Ultimate Guide: Flattering Jeans for Every Body Shape

Author: Stylist at TellarDate: 2025

Every body is unique, and jeans shouldn’t make you guess your size. Here’s how to choose the most flattering style based on your shape — coupled with real evidence and Tellar’s sizing insights.

 Body Shape + Jean Style (per Tellar)

From Tellar’s “Ultimate Guide to Jean Styles”:

  • Skinny: Tight waist-to-ankle; ideal for hourglass, apple, willowy—high-rise helps define curves

    .

  • Straight-leg: Uniform from hip to hem; great for rectangle and apple — adds structure

    tellar.co.uk

    .

  • Bootcut & Flared: Mid/high-rise bootcut for pear/hourglass; flared also balances proportions

    tellar.co.uk

    .

  • Wide-leg, Tapered, Boyfriend: Tailored fits for rectangular, inverted triangle, and apple frames — give hips room and define waist

    .

  • High-waist works with all shapes — it cinches waist and elongates legs

 Why Fit Matters — The Problem with Sizing

Inconsistent sizing across brands (e.g., Zara vs. Mango vs. Levi’s) leads to wasted time, frequent returns, and frustration. Generic charts overlook cut, stretch, body shape — especially for denim.
