What to look for: Slim cut jeans that hug your curves, especially ones with cargo pockets to help add width to your hips and balance out your shoulders. “Look for jeans that have curved outer seams through the hip area — they will give you the appearance of having a curvier hipline,” says Prommer.

What to avoid: Flared jeans or bell bottoms. They will swallow up your frame and make it look like you’re swimming in your jeans.
