Every body type is unique. The better you know your silhouette, the easier you’ll choose jeans to highlight it. Women with hourglass body types have very defined waists and a similar width between their shoulders and hips. So if you have this classic silhouette, let’s find you your perfect jeans.

How to Find Your Best Jeans

  • Choose jeans adjusted at the waist to highlight your silhouette
  • Avoid oversize or extremely baggy jeans
  • Stylise your shape with darker jeans, rather than lighter or washed out ones
  • Get a flattering look thanks to tight-waisted jeans with lightly flared bottoms

Your Best Jeans for Your Classic Hourglass Silhouette

Be Versatile With the Culotte Jean

 

 
These high-waisted jeans have wide legs and a cut under the knee.

  • Stylise your figure with the high-waist and a fitted thigh
  • Combine it with tops or baggy shirts
  • Step out in style. Heeled shoes, suede boots or a pair of stilettos for a chic and formal touch

Turn on Your Flare

 

 
Fitted waist jeans that billow out from the knee with a gently flared cut.

  • Flatter your silhouette with wide-bottom jeans. Want more effect? Choose flared jeans that cover your shoes
  • Harmonise your figure with straight-cut tops, fitted blazers or biker jackets
  • Show off your style with heels

Adopt the Cropped Look

 

 
These are very similar to Culotte jeans, but longer and always over the ankle.

  • Enhance your lower body. If you have thin ankles, these are your jeans
  • Avoid ankle shoes as they shorten your silhouette. Expose your instep with some classic stilettos
  • Lengthen your look with a t-shirt inside your jeans, topped with a trench or straight-cut jacket

Keep it Casual With the Mom Fit

 

 
These are high-waisted jeans with a straight cut.

  • Stylise your legs with the defined waist
  • Harmonise your upper and lower body thanks to the straight cut
  • Combine the casual fit with sneakers and a Parka for a casual, street look
  • Choose a blazer and heeled sandals for a chic option

Get the Skinny on Your Jeans

 

 
Skinny jeans are fitted from your waist to your ankle. Unlike slim jeans, they’re medium to low waisted.

  • Highlight your curves without adding volume
  • Harmonise your silhouette by pairing them with a straight-cut top
  • Go for a blouse with a print for something special
  • Lengthen your look with an open cardigan or blazer
