Denim Guide

Better Behind & Butt Lifters: If your behind is flat, a pocket with a little detail or a flap back pocket would be a good choice. Choose jeans that have higher or smaller back pockets with details or distressing. Pockets can produce an illusion of lift, form, or fullness that flatters your shape. Denim that is slimmer through the leg can give you the illusion of curves.

Reduce Volume: For curvy women who want to minimize volume, stick to clean dark washes.  Minimal fading can elongate legs. Denim with a wider leg opening can also help balance out a curvy figure.

Elongate Legs: To make your legs look longer and slimmer try slim-cut jeans, skinny pencil legs, unique seam construction, and clean washes to make you look taller. Straight and Skinny leg jeans are worn best with the lift of high-heeled boots or stilettos; this is another trick to giving the appearance of longer legs.
