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
tellar.co.uktellar.co.uk.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
tellar.co.uk.High-waist works with all shapes — it cinches waist and elongates legs
