THE JEANS Gap: Boot Cut Jeans

WHY THEY WORK The slight boot cut lengthens the leg to create a long, lean look, and a higher waist makes the middle section appear more narrow, flattering and enhancing an hourglass figure.

THE JEANS Aristocrat: Essex Cropped Skinny Jean

WHY THEY WORK While this jean is technically a capri (with a 30-inch inseam), it works perfectly as a skinny jean on a petite figure. The short rise keeps waist and legs in perfect proportion.

Butt Booster

Time Inc. Digital Studio
THE JEANS Hudson: Boot Cut Jean

WHY THEY WORK The button pockets add the appearance of volume. Keep in mind that you want pockets that are proportional to your butt size, so if you have a small behind, opt for littler pockets. If your butt is on the longer, flatter side, you want larger pockets-small ones will make your rear look wider and flatter.

BUY ONLINE NOW $154; shopbop.com.

Time Inc. Digital Studio
THE JEANS Lofli: Denim Trousers

WHY THEY WORK The key to this pair is the angle of the pocket flaps. Angled yokes, or back seams, create an illusion of roundness; straight-across seams flatten the derriere.

BUY ONLINE NOW $172; anthropologie.com.
