Which trousers or jeans should you choose for your body type?

With the arrival of September and its milder temperatures, it’s finally time to bring out our favourite long trousers. For some of us, the choice is slim-fitting trousers, while others prefer looser cuts. What’s certain is that every figure can be enhanced by the perfect pair of trousers.

Whether you’re a seasoned fashion enthusiast or a novice, take the time to understand your body type and explore the different cuts of trousers to find the one that suits you best. Fashion is a game that allows us to feel good about ourselves while expressing our creativity, so play, experiment and dare!
If you still haven’t found the trousers or jeans that suit you best, don’t worry. After reading this article, you’ll have all the answers you need to make the perfect choice when it comes to trousers.

Trousers for the hourglass bodyshape

If you have an hourglass bodyshape, this means you have harmonious curves with aligned shoulders and hips, and a narrower waist. To enhance this figure, opt for high-waisted trousers that follow the lines of your body. Flared or straight trousers are good choices.

If you opt for this style, pair it with a fitted top that will show off your upper body. The monochrome look, or ‘total look’, is always a good idea for elongating the silhouette.

These classic trousers are perfect for you: you can choose them with prints, as long as they are balanced with your top.

Trousers for the rectangle bodyshape

If you have a rectangle bodyshape, the main tip to enhance it is to choose trousers that help you create curves. A high-waisted trouser with a belt is perfect for harmonising your figure. The models we recommend are the paperbag trouser and the carrot trouser.

A wide belt with a bow is the perfect solution for recreating a waistline. Pair these trousers with a more fitted top, perhaps with shoulder detailing to highlight your curves.

Trousers for the inverted triangle body shape

Si vous avez une morphologie en V, rééquilibrez votre silhouette en mettant vos jambes en valeur. Privilégiez des pantalons avec poches, de nombreux détails ou un imprimé coloré pour attirer l’attention vers la partie inférieure de votre corps. Deux excellentes options sont les pantalons cargo et les pantalons imprimés.

Trousers for the triangle body shape

If you have a triangle silhouette, choose palazzo trousers to balance out your hips. Bootcut trousers can also create a similar effect. Let’s delve into these options.

These practical and comfortable trousers will help balance your figure. Wear them with a matching top, embellished with shoulder details or voluminous sleeves, or add a splash of colour for a vibrant look.

Bootcut trousers for the triangle body shape

Similar to leggings, bootcut trousers leave your ankles bare. Choose models without details or pockets on the hips if you don’t want to accentuate this area.

Trousers for the oval body shape

If you have an oval bodyshape, it means that you tend to accumulate weight in your upper body, particularly in the abdominal area and on your waist. Your legs are slimmer, and you should make the most of them by opting for tight-fitting trousers that will highlight them.

Leggings for the oval body shape

Leggings are the ideal choice for highlighting your legs. If you don’t feel comfortable, however, pair them with a longer blouse to cover your hips.

Shorts for the oval bodyshape

You can also opt for shorts, especially in summer, but also in autumn or winter by combining them with tights, perhaps coloured or with embroidery.

Trousers for the diamond body shape

If you have a diamond silhouette, you have a tendency to accumulate weight around the waist, while the bust and hips have similar circumferences. Choose straight trousers or trousers with vertical stripes to balance your figure harmoniously.

Straight trousers, also known as chinos, are perfect for your morphology and will enhance it. Besides their elegance, they are incredibly versatile, suitable for both office and leisure wear.

Vertical striped trousers for the diamond body shape

Vertical stripes are an easy way to look taller and slimmer, suitable for all body shapes. For the diamond silhouette, they are particularly recommended as they make the most of your figure.

Regardless of your bodyshape, don’t forget that the perfect trouser is one in which you feel confident and comfortable. Follow these tips to enhance your figure, leaving room for your personal style and personality through your clothing. You are beautiful, regardless of your bodyshape, so play with fashion!
