Fresh denim trends are fun to try out, but at the end of the day, we know you want jeans that flatter your body 100 percent. What girl doesn't? While crazy designs like deconstructed and fluted flares take hold from time to time, there are four classic shapes below that look particularly nice on certain figures. Do a little street style browsing, and you'll probably agree that whether you're curvy, petite, athletic, or tall, we pinpointed the right silhouette for you. Read ahead to brush up on the logistics, then get to shopping.

1. Petite

Denim of Choice: Cropped mom jean

If you're on the shorter side, look for a cropped style, whether distressed or with a tailored, finished hem. Showing a bit of ankle not only allows you to show off your shoes but elongates your leg. Of course, opting for a high waist helps with this, too, giving the illusion that your legs go on for miles.

2. Curvy

Denim of Choice: Relaxed fit

Whether you're pear shaped with wider hips and a petite shoulder frame, bootylicious, baby, or curvy all over, a boyfriend or mom silhouette will fit your shape and flatter your assets but also give you extra room at the knees and calves, which is extremely comfortable and also flattering. It'll make your whole look seem more proportional, too, especially if you are more shapely up top. Boyfriend jeans are also great, because you can roll them or cuff them to reveal a heel or sneaker.

3. Tall

Denim of Choice: Skinnies

The most popular denim silhouette that looks good on gals with legs miles long? The classic skinny jean. Thank goodness these never go out of style. Whether you prefer a cropped skinny made for showing off your booties or ankle length, you won't have to worry about getting yours hemmed because you'll likely fill out the inches. If you're looking to flatter and play up your curves, opt for a supertight fit and a light wash, which will help you flaunt your assets.
