Body Shape + Jean Style (per Tellar)
From Tellar’s “Ultimate Guide to Jean Styles”:
-
Skinny: Tight waist-to-ankle; ideal for hourglass, apple, willowy—high-rise helps define curves
tellar.co.uk+10tellar.co.uk+10tellar.co.uk+10tellar.co.uk+15tellar.co.uk+15tellar.co.uk+15. -
Straight-leg: Uniform from hip to hem; great for rectangle and apple — adds structure
tellar.co.uk+2tellar.co.uk+2tellar.co.uk+2. -
Bootcut & Flared: Mid/high-rise bootcut for pear/hourglass; flared also balances proportions
tellar.co.uk+12tellar.co.uk+12tellar.co.uk+12. -
Wide-leg, Tapered, Boyfriend: Tailored fits for rectangular, inverted triangle, and apple frames — give hips room and define waist
tellar.co.uk+8tellar.co.uk+8tellar.co.uk+8. -
High-waist works with all shapes — it cinches waist and elongates legs

Why Fit Matters — The Problem with Sizing
Inconsistent sizing across brands (e.g., Zara vs. Mango vs. Levi’s) leads to wasted time, frequent returns, and frustration. Generic charts overlook cut, stretch, body shape — especially for denim.
