Bootcut jeans get a bad rap sometimes. And we don't know why! These jeans skim the thigh and flare out slightly after the knee for a flattering shape. Anytime you can balance out your hips to create a more streamlined look, it's a great thing! A darker wash also adds a sophisticated feel.

Coated denim can be a little tricky. You don't want a pair that clings too tight, as it can create unflattering lines. Instead, go for a pair that has a great "faux-leather look" and be sure it has streatch. The stretch of the material will hug your curves perfectly.
