• The classic boot-cut jeans (as seen on Sarah Jessica Parker) with a slight flare below the knees flatters most women.
• If you're petite (shorter than 5'4"), straight legs are more flattering than boot-cut because the latter can make your thighs look heavier.
• Unless you're blessed with a supermodel figure, skinny jeans look best when teamed with a long top or tunic.
• If you have a long torso or short legs, stay away from super low-waist jeans.
• "Mom jeans" makes the hips, stomach and butt look larger than life. 3 words: Throw them out.
