If you are: petite

What to look for: "A pair of dark indigo or black jeans without any whiskering, rips or fading," says Prommer. These will visually elongate your legs. Also, skinny or straight leg jeans are the easiest to hem.

What to avoid: Anything cropped or cuffed. Boyfriend jeans will do absolutely nothing for your legs. In fact, they'll make you look even shorter.
