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.

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.

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.
