Which jeans for my body type?
Between skinny, straight, flare, high waist, mid waist, low waist, it's difficult to find your way around and finding the perfect pair of jeans for women can seem impossible.
At LA PETITE ÉTOILE Paris, our jeans are designed to fit as many body shapes as possible, while also providing comfort, style, and elegance. Here's our complete guide to choosing the right jeans for your body shape, and what your ideal pair will be.
The Skinny
Skinny jeans are ultra-fitted, from the hips to the ankles. Their so-called "second-skin" cut elongates the legs, refines the silhouette, and enhances the curves.
Skinny jeans or slim models are more suited to slim or athletic figures, to the hourglass body shape (defined waist, balanced hips and shoulders), or to the H shape (not very defined waist, with aligned shoulders and hips).
Women's skinny jeans perfectly hug the contours of the body, creating a sleek and dynamic look. They're the perfect choice for tucking into boots or showcasing pumps. At LA PETITE ÉTOILE, discover the Maude jean, a mid-rise skinny jean that combines elegance and comfort.
The Straight Jean
Straight-leg jeans for women are a classic and timeless choice for all body types, following a vertical line from the hips to the ankles. They're neither too tight nor too loose.
Straight jeans suit all body shapes: hourglass, rectangle, pear, apple... They are perfect for those who want a versatile look, to wear every day.
Its balanced cut harmonizes the silhouette. It accentuates the shape while remaining modern and pairs equally well with sneakers, loafers, or heels.

High or Mid-Rise
High-waisted jeans for women sit above the hips, sometimes reaching down to the navel. These jeans are ideal for the hourglass figure (or X-shaped figure), as they visually lengthen the legs, small waists, and figures with a small tummy, thanks to their shaping and structuring effect.
The high waist of these jeans focuses the eye on the slimmest part of the body, creating a sleek silhouette. Paired with a tucked-in top or crop top, they become ultra-flattering.

The Flare and the Bootcut
Fitted at the thigh and flared from the knee, flared and bootcut jeans are back in fashion this season. They're perfect for A-line (hips wider than shoulders), hourglass, or rectangle shapes to add fluidity, as well as tall and medium figures.
Flaring balances the width of the hips and lengthens the leg. Our tip: Wear flared jeans with heels for an “infinite leg” effect.

The Wide Jeans
Wide leg jeans are loose-fitting throughout, from the hips to the ankles.
It is suitable for hourglass body shapes, as it highlights the waist if worn high, high or medium waist, with a width highlighted with a little height, or rectangle, with a cut that adds volume and structure.
It can also suit pear shapes, if the waist is well defined and the fabric is flowing.
Wide-leg jeans create a bold, fashionable effect, adding movement and lightness to your silhouette. Worn high-waisted, they elongate your legs while providing style and comfort.
