Flat Bums
Tips:
- Try a tapered leg or skinny jean to make your bum more noticeable.
- Even a small kitten heel will add curves to your profile, a tall heel will work wonders.
- Flap pockets will add dimension, try True Religion, Stitch's, or Hudson flap pocket styles.
Brands & Styles to Try:
Joe's Jeans: Rocker -low rise and fitted throughout the hip, waist and thigh
Stitch's: Chekore Style - Features a slouchy back pocket with flaps
Tag Jeans: All styles - a bright countering stitch and plenty of stretch add curves all over
Hudson Jeans: Supermodel Triangle Pocket - Hugs curves and adds a unique flap pocket for shape
Deener Denim: Flapper Slim Boot -back pockets are designed and placed in way that gives you a butt lift
Booty Beauty
Tips:
- Look for a stretch denim with a fitted waist.
- Stick to darker washes that have an all-over slimming effect.
- Many denim manufacturers make a specific style to flatter a shapely butt with a narrower waist. Find out which cut is right for you in the brand you desire.
Brands & Styles to Try:
Paper Denim and Cloth - contoured waist that balances out the low rise of the jean
Joe's Jeans - Honey Style- Made for curvy girls with a fitted waist and contoured butt
Freedom of Choice - All Styles- Touted as the denim brand made for real women with real curves
Deener Denim - Charmer Slim Bootcut - the 2% Lycra in the denim gives you enough room for your rear but hugs your waist just right to show off your curves
Petite & Chic
Tips:
- Skinny jeans are perfect, just stick to linear cuts like straight leg and cigarette leg. Stay away from pencil or peg legs which tapers at the bottom. Give the Joe's Provocateur Jean a try.
- If you are short and want to minimize curves, choose a straight, wide-leg trouser cut. Jeans that fit like a tailored pair of trousers will give you an over-all sleek and polished look. Finish with an amazing pair of heels.
- Need hemming? Ask your tailor for an "original hem" and your unique hem will stay intact.

Kasil Jeans: Luna Style - A flattering straight leg
JBrand: 16" Straight Leg Style - A lengthening silhouette combined with a no-fuss wash
Deener Denim: Charmer Skinny - the 14" leg opening creates a more streamlined look and less of a "denim leggings" look
