The Perfect Jeans for Your Body
Our annual try-on is back, delivering denim perfection to real women everywhere—for every shape and budget!
If You're Petite
Eileen Sayo, 26, was rolling up her too-long jeans (been there!), but that actually left her legs seeming even shorter. Glamour's makeover expert Suze Yalof Schwartz swapped in a slim-fitting boot-cut pair, and had a tailor trim them to graze the tops of Sayo's shoes.

"I'm sick of wearing high-waters," says Lauren Hurst, 25. To fix the problem, Yalof Schwartz found brands that offer longer inseams, and gave Hurst this right-length tip: Jeans should graze the mid part of your foot.

If You're Pear-Shaped
Yalof Schwartz put Kalyea Moss, 28, in a lower-rise pair to slim her hips and solve the gaping-waist problem that women with this body type encounter. Boot-cut, trouser or flare styles are best; super-tapered is worst.

If You're Plus-Size
Charlotte Coyle, 27, thought baggier jeans would provide more coverage, which was like wearing a jeans version of a muumuu. Not good on any body! Once Yalof Schwartz put her in a straighter-cut pair, Coyle realized that form-fitting is more slimming.
