Friday Fashion Fix: Jeans for your body shape

<p> Hourglass girls are blessed with curves in all the right places, and fitted, bootcut jeans are a wardrobe essential for them. We love the contrast gold stitch detailing on these Nudie jeans (especially on the back pockets) - perfect for flaunting that curvy bum and those enviable hips.</p> <p> Nudie Rinsed Boot Starcy Slim Bootcut, now &pound;53, <a href="http://www.my-wardrobe.com/nudie-jeans/boot-starcey-slim-bootcut-34-jean-410878" target="_blank">My Wardrobe</a></p> <p> <a href="http://aolshopping.aol.co.uk/search_attrib.php/page_id=814" target="_blank">- Shop jeans</a></p>

<p> A bootcut jean in a darker wash is a flattering choice for apple shapes, who have ample busts, rounder tummies and slimmer hips and legs. The high pockets on these jeans by denim brand 7 For All Mankind are flattering for your backside, while the contoured waistline ensures a comfortable fit around your bigger areas.</p> <p> 7 For All Mankind Blue Kimmie Bootcut Jean, now &pound;122, <a href="http://www.my-wardrobe.com/7-for-all-mankind/blue-kimmie-bootcut-jean-437135" target="_blank">My Wardrobe</a></p> <p> <a href="http://aolshopping.aol.co.uk/search_attrib.php/page_id=814" target="_blank">- Shop jeans&nbsp;</a></p>

<p> Details like zips and cargo pockets add a quirky touch to basic denim and are a great option for narrower frames looking to give the impression of added curves. These jeans from Comptoir des Cotonniers have zips at the ankle, cargo pocket details and seaming along the front to help give shape to slim calves or round out slimmer hips. The playful pink hue works year-round - pair with a jumper to brighten up winter ensembles and with sandals and peasant tops in the warmer months.</p> <p> Moto washed pink jeans, &pound;129, <a href="http://www.comptoirdescotonniers.com/eng/home_EN.aspx" target="_blank">Comptoir des Cotonniers</a></p> <p> <a href="http://aolshopping.aol.co.uk/search_attrib.php/page_id=814" target="_blank">- Shop jeans</a></p>

<p> Pear shapes (with narrower upper bodies and wider hips and bums) should steer clear of denim silhouettes that narrow at the bottom (tapered jeans, straight leg denim, cropped trousers). A flared jean that kicks out from the knee in a darker hue is perfectly suited to the pear physique, and we love MiH's 70s-inspired Marrakesh flares which have a pleat detail at the front. It not only helps to lengthen the leg line but also draws the gaze up and away from hips.</p> <p> MiH (Made in Heaven) Marrakesh flare, now &pound;99, <a href="http://www.houseoffraser.co.uk/MiH+Jeans+Marrakesh+flare/151984266,default,pd.html" target="_blank">House of Fraser</a></p> <p> </p> <p> <a href="http://aolshopping.aol.co.uk/search_attrib.php/page_id=814" target="_blank">- Shop jeans</a></p>

<p> Sporty body types can either soften their athletic frames with a flared jean or highlight their calves with a pair of fitted skinnies. Since athletic shapes can get away with a bold hue or print, they should have fun with their denim and try different finishes, colours and patterns, like these jungle print legging-style jeans from J Brand, which are a versatile day-to-night option. Team with a frilly top to add curves to your upper body.&nbsp;</p> <p> J Brand mid-rise leopard print legging jeans, &pound;250,&nbsp;<a href="http://www.houseoffraser.co.uk/J+Brand+Mid+rise+leopard+print+legging+jeans/161420060,default,pd.html" target="_blank">House of Fraser</a></p> <p> <a href="http://aolshopping.aol.co.uk/search_attrib.php/page_id=814" target="_blank">- Shop jeans</a></p>

<p> Inverted triangle body shapes have broader shoulders and narrower hips, so should pick a denim shape that helps balance out their lower halves, like these wide-leg flares from Hobbs (inverted triangles can also give added curves to their slim hips with details like cargo pockets). Wide-flare jeans are also a good choice for women with thicker calves.&nbsp;</p> <p> NW3 wide-leg jeans, &pound;85, <a href="http://www.hobbs.co.uk/" target="_blank">Hobbs</a></p> <p> <a href="http://aolshopping.aol.co.uk/search_attrib.php/page_id=814" target="_blank">- Shop jeans</a></p>

<p> Colourful straight leg skinny jeans were made for tall girls, who don't need a bootcut, flare shape, or dark denim hue to elongate their leg line. Wear these cuffed with lace-up brogues; you can break up your height even more with a patterned top or by colour-blocking with a brightly hued jumper.</p> <p> Straight leg skinnies in Mulled Wine, &pound;70, <a href="http://www.fullcircleuk.com/" target="_blank">Full Circle</a></p> <p> <a href="http://aolshopping.aol.co.uk/search_attrib.php/page_id=814" target="_blank">- Shop jeans</a></p>

<p> To elongate a petite frame, choose a dark-hued jean with a slim cut. This flattering pair from Dorothy Perkins ticks all the right boxes with its ultra-skinny fit, high waist and dark indigo hue. Team with dark heels and a dark jumper to further lengthen your line.</p> <div style="font-size: 10pt; line-height: 12pt; "> <p> Indigo high-waisted skinny jean, &pound;30, <a href="http://www.dorothyperkins.com/webapp/wcs/stores/servlet/ProductDisplay?beginIndex=0&amp;viewAllFlag=&amp;catalogId=33053&amp;storeId=12552&amp;productId=3475716&amp;langId=-1&amp;sort_field=Relevance&amp;categoryId=208655&amp;parent_categoryId=208600&amp;pageSize=20" target="_blank">Dorothy Perkins</a></p> <p> <a href="http://aolshopping.aol.co.uk/search_attrib.php/page_id=814" target="_blank">- Shop jeans</a></p> <p> </p> </div>
