If You're Plus-size
Bernadett, a size 14, wanted everyday jeans she could run around town in and wear out for date night. The answer? Sleek but not painted-on jeggings. "I feel like I could wow anyone in these jeans," says the 31-year-old.

To make jeans this dark feel summery, go a little bare on top.

Look for generous pockets—don't go too small.

"The Best Jeans for Your Shape" // Woman with pear-shaped figure in Paige Denim jeans and orange top

If You're Pear-Shaped
Nadianna, 22, asked for a pair that would make her look taller while also doing only good things for her curves. Our high-rise pick did just that, showing off her tiny waist and faking mile-long legs.

Flaunt a sexy tush.
Just keep stitching minimal; that's better for your curves.

"The Best Jeans for Your Shape" // Petite woman in Banana Republic jeans and printed blouse

If You're Petite
"I'm petite and curvy, but this pair creates the illusion of a longer leg and a more toned look in the hips and waist," says size 14 Marla, 27. Your takeaway: A dark straight-leg always flatters and lengthens.

Enhance your curves.
That vertical seam above the pockets is forgiving!
