Q: What type of jeans will make you look slimmer or appear taller?

A: Typically boot cut or flared jeans tend to give a slimmer, longer look. You don’t want them to be too tight so it looks like you’re spilling out of them, but not too loose as that will make you look bigger. Some stretch in the material is good to help them fit better & keep their shaped as you wear them or after you launder them. I take it you are on the shorter side, so be leery of capris or big cuffs as they’ll give the illusion that your leg is even shorter. For example, this pair is really cute, but if you are short, they are just going to make your entire leg look boxy. You would need to hem them and keep them unrolled. Another tip that will help you look slimmer is to buy darker colors (we always look slimmer in black!). Finally, make sure the pockets in the back aren’t too small, and sit lower on your rear, which will make your behind appear slimmer. You can see how this pair’s pockets are large and end just below the rear.
