DO Wear Skinny Jeans Like Kate Moss
The skinny jean used to be strictly for skinny minnies only, but now with flexible fabrics and universally appealing distressed styles, the look is for one and all. If you DON’T feel confident about your bottom then make sure that your jeans have a flattering pocket placement (small or high-stitched pockets can make full bums look enormous!), and DO go for denim with distressed shading down the length of the jean, if you want to slim down your thighs. Tight jeans work perfectly with tatty Converse and the new breed of sheepskin ankle boots respectively.

DO Wear Biker Jeans Like J-Lo
Biker jeans with slashes, buckles and panelling are a big DO for curvy thighs and bigger bums, because these features break up the volume of denim, and lend a focus to feminine shapes. Go for a skinny or straight cut to elongate your legs and make sure that you get a mid-rise waist, rather than a low-rise (to avoid muffin top emphasis).

DO Wear Boyfriend Jeans Like Rachel Bilson
Anyone can wear boyfriend jeans as long as you follow these denim style rules:
DON’T wear loose-fitting tops with really baggy jeans because you’ll lose your silhouette and look like a tent! DO channel Rachel Bilson and add a girly edge with soft knitwear, spiky heels and an It-bag - think androgynous denim + girly accessories = hot contrast! DO wear a low-waisted if you’ve got a boyish figure, and go for a mid-fit if you’ve got an hourglass figure to avoid showcasing those love handles.

DO Wear Cropped Jeans Like Beyoncé
Super-tight cropped jeans that show off sky-high heels are the key look of 2010 - cue your denim icon Beyoncé who loves to showcase her every curve! The key to pulling off cropped? Make sure you DO wear a long top to balance out the outfit’s aesthetics and go for mid-rise waistbands. Unless you have slim ankles/calves, DON’T wear short boots with cut-off jeans: instead, go for biscuit beige sandals or slinky stilettos to maintain the appearance of endless legs.

DO Wear Straight-Leg Jeans Like Kylie
Straight-leg jeans have the most widespread flattering fit because they balance out womanly hips (rather than skinnies, which do nothing for lady lumps), and they DON’T drown petite stylistas in too much fabric: so tall and thin, teeny and tidy - the straight-leg jean is a forever classic cut. Wear with a smart shirt tucked in for uptown chic.
