Lucky’s Denim Guide: Find the Best Jeans for Your Body Type!

Denim is a tricky fit—whether you’re long and lean or curvy all over, finding the right pair of jeans can be an arduous task. Here, we show you the best styles for your shape, as modeled by Lucky staffers.

Body Type: Full Hips and Thighs

Jean Frustration: “I exercise a lot, so I've got big legs—sturdy thighs and calves. So it’s hard to find a pair of jeans that I can pull over my legs and still have them fit at the waist.” — Denise Burrell-Stinson, Lucky magazine research chief.

Jean Solution No. 1: Flat-Front Flares

The best style for those with full hips and thighs is a flare—these are built to accommodate curves and the wide leg at the bottom balances out the proportion. Keep things lean by choosing a style that billows out below the knee for a straight line from the tummy to thighs. A flat-front, slightly high waist and slim pockets prevent any extra bulk.

Jean Solution No. 2: Dark-Wash, Floor-Skimming Flares

A dark wash is super-flattering—it hides any lumps and bumps. To flatter the hips, choose a style that is ultra-simple, minus any bells and whistles that can attract unwanted attention to certain areas. The extra length adds height, too.

Jean Solution No. 3: Distressed, ’70s-Style Flares

If you want to go for a faded wash, look for distressed styles that have whiskered details right across the hips to draw the eye in. This pair also has an exaggerated bell cuff that makes your bottom look narrow. Pair with a sweet floral shirt for a flirty take on one of spring’s hottest trends: the ’70s.

Body Type: Hourglass

Jean Frustration: “Don’t get me wrong, I’m happy to have a waist, but I find that most jeans cut me at the tummy in the wrong place, making my torso look shorter.” —Ericka N. Goodman, Lucky magazine associate credits editor.

Jean Solution No. 1: High-Waisted Trousers

It may seem counterintuitive, but jeans that hit above a natural waist (look for a pretty high rise, like 9” to 13”) make hourglass shapes look even more defined, as they cinch in a tummy and accentuate curves. This pair has an extra high rise that tucks everything in for a gentle corseted effect.

Jean Solution No. 2: High-Waisted and Cropped Jeans

A slightly cropped style accentuates an hourglass’ curves even further, like this pair, which hits right at the ankle. A tucked-in striped top adds emphasis to the slimmest part of your body.

Jean Solution No. 3: High-Waisted Skinny Jeans

These have a contoured waistband (it appears cut on an angle when the jeans lie flat), which hugs the tummy close to prevent any gapping.

Body Type: Tummy

Jean Frustration: “When you’re curvy, it’s hard to find jeans that fit you well all over.” — Beth Hitchcock, Luckymag.com fashion assistant.

Jean Solution No. 1: Faded Boot Cut Jeans

Boot cut is the best style for this body type—the clean lines and a straight fit throughout the leg streamline everything. Look for pairs that have at least 2 percent spandex for just a little stretch, and a low rise so they don’t cut into a tummy. These have fading throughout the knees, highlighting the narrowest part of the silhouette.

Jean Solution No. 2: Distressed Boot Cut Jeans

Artful distressing, like whisker details and fading across the hips, make for a slimmer shape—the lighter details fade into the darker material that acts as camouflage.

Jean Solution No. 3: Long Boot Cut Jeans

Floor-skimming styles create the illusion of height (especially when you add heels!), which slims a shape. This pair has a slight flare at the bottom (avoid super-tapered legs) that eliminates any appearance of top-heaviness.

Body Type: Straight

Jean Frustration: “I can so easily get drowned in too much fabric, and sometimes I think I look too boyish.” —Ray Siegel, Luckymag.com associate fashion editor.

Jean Solution No. 1: Seam-detailed Skinny Jeans

A good lean fit can actually create curves, hugging even the slightest contours for a sinewy effect, which makes this style perfect for boyish builds. Look for styles made of thicker material and no stretch—selvage denim always looks great on boyish figures. A straight-across waistband that sits just below the belly button helps too, cutting at the widest part of the body for a feminine look. These have an angled seam down the legs, which makes you appear more shapely.

Jean Solution No. 2: Bright Skinny Jeans

Color can be your saving grace—it’s eye-catching and accentuates your natural silhouette. And a thick, angled waistband adds a curvy effect. Again, choose something with a bit of heft—anything super-tight and super-thin runs the risk of toothpick legs.

Jean Solution No. 3: Super-Tapered Skinny Jeans

This ultra-fitted pair hugs the body close, and the bottom is really tapered for a calf-skimming fit that fakes shapely legs.

Body Type: Petite

Jean Frustration: “Being 5’2”, I have a hard time finding jeans that aren’t a million times too long that I have to take to the tailor.” —Lori Bergamotto, Lucky magazine style contributor.

Jean Solution No. 1: Low-rise Cropped Jeans

A shorter inseam, 28” suits most, tends to fit just at or above the ankle for a cute, jaunty effect on this body type. The low rise on this pair elongates the torso, adding some extra inches of height.

Jean Solution No. 2: Distressed Cropped Jeans

Skinny styles that are a bit longer also work wonders for petites; just look for a tapered ankle (wide legs are too bulky) and roll up the hem for a cute cuffed look. Because this pair is one color, the cuffs don’t interrupt the lines of the jeans, making you look taller.

Jean Solution No. 3: Baggy Cropped Jeans

A straight, fitted pair with slack in the knees moves the whole proportion up—and thereby elongates gams.

Temuduga KPLI

Assalamualaikum....

Skrang bulan Mei kan? Mei ni banyak hari pentingkan? Bukan Februari jek banyak hari penting ye? Bulan lain pun ado. Provokasi di situ. Haha. Taklah, gurau jek. Peace no warkan?. Btw, today is Teacher's Day. So, Happy Teacher's Day especially to my mom n my beloved Mr Hubby as teacher gak. Mama, seorang teacher yang tegar. Sampaikan weekend pun bz ngajor tuisyen sampai ke malam. Ponek kita menengoknya. Pengorbanan yang besau. Huh. Lagi 4 tahun eak mama nak pencen. Kan mama? Tapi, so far takdok sorang lagi anak² beliau mengikut jejak beliau. Buyinnnnnnnn... sila ikut. Bujieeeeeee... sila jadi cekgu inggelih.

Saya? Hampir nak capai position tuh tapi xde rezeki. Butttttttt... pernah mengajor BI, Muzik n lagi pe eak kat Sekolah Kebangsaan Kampung Bukit, Chendering tuh. Wah... vangga x? Hehe. Jangan memain dengan status cikgu ganti tau. Lesen besar tuh if ade sesapa yang memasang niat nak jadi cikgu. Surat tawaran tu leh jadi bukti utk interview cikgu tau. Mahal nilai tuh.

Sampai sekrang kalau terjumpa my pupil, dari jauh dah panggil, teacherrrrrrrrrrrrrr... Skarng pun, diorang add i kat FB, bleh saya tanya, sape neh? Huh, dasar!. Sori, teacher Nad x cam kamu. Ayat, baek punya cover. Dah besar dah korang eak. Time tu b4 konvo lagi. Tgh tggu konvo. Tahun 2006. Rezeki pas habeh study terus dpt offer cikgu ganti.

Ni, mama yang teman g submit form cikgu ganti neh. Turun naik opis. Tawakkal. Skali dapat offer n on jelah even kurang minat nak mengajor. Xsampai 2 bulan pun jd cikgu ganti. Btw, tq mama. Then dpt offer keje kat Subang n xsampai setahun dpt offer kerajaan. Alhamdulillah. Rezeki Allah Maha Kuasa.

Sekali dalam diam xdiam dalam keje gomen tuh, bleh plak isi KPLI online. Then, dapat xm kat Sekolah Menengah Sultan Sulaiman. Ni isi pun sebab opismate ajak isi sesama. Tup² a few months tuh, opismate ni bergegas nak jumpa saya then bertembung kat bilik Promosi. Ni tak call tak pe tau nak see me. Datang bersama sekeping kertas. Tahniah weh katanya. Saya, tahniah kenapa?


Mung dapat interview KPLI weh. Hah... cuak di situ. Terus ligat di kepala pe nak jawab, pe nak pakai, style camne. Nak mintak tips n semua ngan sapekan. Haha. Selalu camtukan. Someone yang bersungguh² nak sesuatu tapi orng sekeliling yang menemani yang sekadar bg perangsang n support, orang tu yang mudah dan murah rezekinyakan? Betol ke teori nih? Gasaklah dek non. Hehe. Asal, sampai maksud.

Then, tiba masa, saya pergilah interview ditemani suami, ibu dan adik tersayang. Pesan teman yakni Cik Azua, n geng² yang dah pernah interview KPLI dan bergelar guru dah pun. If time xm tuh, pesan mereka, kalau boleh, time exam tu penampilan silalah dah macam cikgu, pakai name tag, beg bawak ala² cikgu semua kan? So, saya ikutlah. Nmpk cam remeh. Tlglah jangan pakai selipar jamban or sandal nak ke mall. Dah terang nak apply gomen, so please behave. Nak dpt keje bukan senang. Kita dah dpt offer nih, ikutlah peraturan. Mudah. So, saya ikut that tips. Bace pe yang patot pasal isu semasa dan perguruan n Alhamdulillah lulus exam.

Sure korang terpikir, ade ke yang datang check dari A - Z penampilan kita time bz nak exam tu kan? Itu, yang korang pk, so sila pk positif. Manalah tahu, ade di antara calon xm tu, person dari KPM ke, JPA ke kan, sapa tahu? Bersiap sedia sajork. Xpakai pitih pong.

Ok. Time interview. Saya bawak coat. Pakai kasut bertutup lengkap berstokin, name tag. Baju, sila pakai jangan ceria sangat. Naik berpinar interviewer tu nanti. Mood harus ok dan tenang n jangan stress. N jangan over confident dapat n bercakap melalut. Make up sila ala kadar.

Kami bertolak awal. Kena interview di Institut Perguruan Sultan Mizan, Terengganu untuk Kursus Pengajian Kajian Sosial bg Sekolah Rendah. Sampai jek, terus daftar n take mood dengan setenangnya. Harus di situ. Tengok dah ade 2,3 orang dah calon. Then, saya diminta check list yang perlu di bawa sewaktu diinterview. Siap semua then terus maniskan muka bersalaman dengan calon n berkongsi tips. Diorang banyak bawak tips. Saya, zero. Hafal pe yang patot jek. Rukunegara berbuih dah kat mulut. Cea, big talk di situ. Tak baek. Jangan amalkan yer.

Saya tengok penampilan mereka sangat simple. Atau, akukah yang over? Kenapa ade setengah pakai sandal jek? Bukanke nak apply cikgu? Sedikit down di situ. Terus think positive. Watpe ikut orang. X semestinya diorang betol dan kita ni di pihak yang benar? Haha. Sila ikut kata hati tp jangan sampai mati yer.

Sesi pertama interview, kami dipanggil secara berkumpulan. Pesanan interviewer, sila bercakap bila hanya diarahkan. Jangan menyampuk bila calon lain sedang bercakap. Lontarkan idea bila ditanya dan diperlukan sahaja. Jika tidak, pemarkahan mungkin ditolak. So, sila ikut. Alhamdulillah, semua calon adalah, ok.

Sesi kedua, sesi individu. Saya cuba cool. Relax, Nad. Berdebor tunggu calon yang kena interview tuh. Pe lah panel tanyekan. Then a few minutes tuh, sudahlah calon neh. Geleng² kepala, cakap susah. Saya dah, alemak. Pe di tanya? Saya sempat hafal satu dua tiga perkara, pe eak. Lupa. Hafal je satu then pepandailah hurai. Goreng.

Tiba time saya, cool Nad, cool bebeh. So, masuk bilik bagi salam. Ceh, mcm pengantin plak kan. Haha. Ketawa jahat. Kenalkan diri. Disoal segala macam n alhamdulillah dpt jawab dengan baik. Tiba satu soalan yang saya rase tersentap di situ.

" Okey, semua soalan yang diajukan, puan jawab dengan baik. Dan saya suka penampilan puan yang kemas dan bagus. (lebih kuranglah katanye. Aku pun xhengat dah). Cuma satu jek saya nak bertanya...", Panel steady.

" Erm, terima kasih ", balas saya n angguk.

" Puan tengah mengandung ker? ". Pergh, soalan baek punyer. Saya tersentap dan bebetol tergamam. Sebab saya dah tahu prosedur pengambilan dan pemilihan KPLI camne kan.

" Erm... ", saya serba salah. Takkan nak jawab tak kot coz sudah terang lagi bersuluh saya mengandung 2 bulan camtu lah. Tapi kurang nampak n dicover dengan coat. Kebetulan. If saya jawab tak, takut jadi macam kandungan pertama. If menipu, lagi naya. Kursus perguruan ni ketat juga if terpilih kan? Nak ke terboyot kiri kanan kan. wat aktiviti? Susahkan orang plak. So, saya jawab...

" Ya, saya mengandung ". Panel terus menyandar. Diam seketika.

" Saya memang akan pilih awak jika prosedur kami mengizinkan berbuat demikian. Tapi, puan faham kan prosedur kami. Jadi, saya terpaksa KIV puan ". Sedih saya di situ. Tapi, tak tahulah kan maksud di sebaliknya. Btw, anggap je takde rezeki. Mana tahu, Aisya Qistina bakal guru profesional nanti? Ikut jejak Tok Wan dia. Hehe. Amiinnn.

Pepun, Selamat Hari Guru buat semua para guru di dunia. Guru² saya di Tadika Durian Mas, SKDM II, SKDM I (time pertukaran pelajar), SMKDM, SMK(A) Khairiah (kejap jek coz homesick) KYPMKL, UK Malaysia, geng² Sains Pembangunan yang bergelar guru, rakan² yang bergelar guru, guru² yang mengajar saya secara langsung dan tak langsung mean opismate yang ajar saya pasal keje, para ustaz n ustazah yang ajar saya mengaji n so on. Terima kasih di atas jasa baik anda semua dan semoga Allah swt membalasnya. So, berkhidmatlah dengan cemerlang demi anak bangsa, agama dan negara. Ewahhhhhhh...

Dannnnnnn... pada semua student sila HORMATI GURU ANDA. Nanti besar barulah nak menyesal x sudah.
