Best Jeans for a Rectangle Body Shape
Jeans can add curves where you want them.
This guide is for the rectangle body shape: bust and hips within 5% of each other, with a waist between 75% and 85% of the wider measurement.
Look for
- Detail on the back pockets, such as flaps, embroidery or larger pockets
- High-rise cuts with a defined waistband and a slight curve
- Bootcut, flared and wide-leg styles that add width below the hip
- Lighter washes with whiskering or fading at the hip
Skip or adjust
- Plain, dark, tight straight-leg jeans with no detail
- Very low rise that lengthens the torso
- Baggy cuts with no waistband definition
