• Petite or short legs: Avoid wearing cropped jeans or jeans that are too short as they'll only exaggerate your short legs or short stature. Instead, wear longer jeans and add a pair of cute shoes with height to pull off a leggier look (or at least the illusion that you have longer legs!)http://abcnews.go.com/GMA/MakeMon/story?id=124704&page=1
• Pear shaped body, full hips, small top: Don't wear baggy jeans because they'll exaggerate your bottom half. Opt for a tighter fitting pair of jeans and remember that darker jeans have a more slimming effect.http://abcnews.go.com/GMA/MakeMon/story?id=124704&page=1
• Large Bottom: If you have larger backside, avoid wearing jeans that have small back pockets. Look for jeans where the pockets sit in the right place on the rear end, and not off the the sides, making you look even curvier.http://abcnews.go.com/GMA/MakeMon/story?id=124704&page=2
