Jeans That Fit: Inverted Triangle

The right pair of jeans can bring out the best in any woman's figure. But finding jeans that fit, let alone flatter, can be tough. Here, we'll help you find jeans that maximize a top-heavy profile.

Step 1: Cut

The inverted triangle-shape has broad shoulders and/or a proportionally larger bustline, with narrower hips. Wide-leg or boot-cut pants balance out the upper half. But stay away from tapered jeans or jeans that are tight in the knees.

Step 2: Color

Strategically placed washes or embellishments in the front and back pocket areas will attract attention to your hips. Also, lighter washes or fades along the legs and knees can add shape to thighs.

Step 3: Style

Look for patch pockets and side pockets, which create a fuller thigh and balance out your top half.
