Denim Awards

The most flattering fits and on-point styles. Get ready to shop your shape!

If you’re tall and leggy:

The style: Skinny Jeans

The look: Denim leggings take the skinny jean to a whole new level. No playful scrunching around the ankle here. This skin-tight, curve-celebrating trend hypes up the ’80s nostalgia of the season.

How to wear it: This jean complements the oh-so-hot knee boot by minimizing excess material shoved into the boot. It also provides an exciting contrast to chunky ankle boots. Just be sure to wear longer slouchy pieces on top to complement the ultratight bottoms

The winners:

FRAME, Le High Skinny distressed jeans, $318

J BRAND, 811 Photo Ready mid-rise skinny jeans, $296

R13, Kate cropped low-rise skinny jeans, $486

If you’re straight up and down:

The style: Ankle-Length

The look: Audrey Hepburn immortalized the look with her charming combination of clam-diggers and ballet flats, and denim brands are bringing it into style by cropping our favorite skinny jeans above the ankle.

How to wear it: This style is perfect for boyish figures, as ankle-length pants shorten coltish legs and give them some shape. The style looks great paired with the season’s popular ruffle-front tops, which give the illusion of a bigger bust to those who are also small on top.

The winners:

1205, Cropped low-rise wide-leg jeans, $401

FRAME, Le Crop bootcut jeans, $304

J BRAND, Josie stretch-cotton twill tapered pants, $297

If you’re pear-shaped:

The style: Wide-Leg

The trend: Curvy girls rejoiced when last season’s wide-leg styles hit the shelves, giving them a flattering alternative to slim-fitting stovepipes. And luckily, they’re still going strong this season.

How to wear it: The season’s trouser jeans come complete with a low-slung, booty-slimming waistband—perfect for pear shapes who aren’t flattered by high waists. To balance out voluptuous hips and thighs, try wearing a top that accentuates the upper body with puffy sleeves or padded shoulders.

The winners:

CHLOê, Frayed high-rise wide-leg jeans, $930

M.I.H JEANS, Caron embroidered cropped high-rise wide-leg jeans, $420

MARNI, High-rise wide-leg jeans, $711

If you’re petite:

The style: Ultralight Wash

The trend: Just when we were starting to get bored with dark denim, our favorite brands decided to lighten up things with superfaded tints.

How to wear it: Light colors command attention, so you should stay away from this style if you’re not loving your lower half. This style is most flattering when paired with a slimming black schoolboy blazer and v-neck T-shirt.

The winners:

ALEXANDER WANG, Grind cropped distressed high-rise bootcut jeans, $551

BASSIKE, Denim pants, $360

M.I.H JEANS, Mimi frayed high-rise slim-leg jeans, $420

If you’re curvy:

The style: High-Waisted

The trend: After a long season of barbecues and beer, you can be forgiven for packing on a few pounds around the middle. Thankfully, high-waisted denim hasn’t gone anywhere, nor has its ability to give us an instant tummy tuck.

How to wear it: High-waisted jeans are most flattering with a wider leg, especially when worn with a tucked-in top. We recommend a light chiffon blouse in the season’s busy patchwork prints, which draw the eye up and away from any bulging around the waist.

The winners:

MADEWELL, High-rise skinny jeans, $200

L’AGENCE, The Margot cropped high-rise skinny jeans, $347

ALEXANDER WANG, Ride high-rise jeans, $389

If you have a tummy:

The style: Boot Cut

The trend: Cut generously through the waist, boot cut styles with a slightly flared leg will help offset width around the middle and will help elongate your stems so you’ll look extra lean.

How to wear it: Bootcut jeans look great with heels and boots, but they can also be worn with flats. Opt for a more dressed up casual look with a blazer, white tee, and a statement necklace.

The winners:
