Best Jeans for an Inverted triangle Body Shape

You have more room to play with volume below the waist.

This guide is for the inverted triangle body shape: bust at least 5% bigger than the hips, with a waist under 85% of the bust.

Look for

  • Wide-leg, flared and bootcut jeans that add width below the hip
  • Light or medium washes, or details such as pockets, patches and embroidery
  • Mid to high rise with stretch
  • Straight or barrel-leg styles with a slight taper at the ankle

Skip or adjust

  • Skinny or tapered jeans paired with heavy, structured tops
  • Very low-rise cuts, which can shorten the leg line
  • Very tight tapers with no volume at the thigh
