The Ultimate Guide To This Season's Hottest Jeans

1. Straight Leg

The Scoop: If skinny jeans aren't for you, a straight leg jean is the next best thing.

Wear Them With: A loose-fitting top offers the perfect balance for a slim jean. Also try cinching a belt around your top at your natural waist to make legs look super long.

Shoes to Choose: Longer lengths look great with heels and boots, shorter lengths with flats and city sneakers. Try a wide cuff for a different look.

Flatter Your Figure: Easier to wear than skinny jeans, but not as flattering as bootcuts for curvy and pear shaped women.

2. Boyfriend

The Scoop:  Relaxed, boyfriend jeans are one of this season's surprising new trends.

Wear Them With: Just about everything, but avoid looking sloppy.

Shoes to Choose: Try rolling the hem up tight and wearing them with ballet flats - very chic. Heels work too.

Flatter Your Figure: This cut works on most shapes.

3. Bootcut

The Scoop: The classic bootcut may not be the "hot" trend of the season, but it's still the most wearable and flattering style out there. A great-fitting pair will last for years.

Wear Them With: Everything. Look for darker washes to wear to work (if jeans are allowed) or out for the evening.

Shoes to Choose: Depending on the length, you can wear them with everything from sexy heels and ankle boots to flats and city sneakers. TIP: when wearing with heels, let the hem drape over most of the shoe to add inches to your legs.

Flatter Your Figure:Bootcuts are one of the most flattering styles you can wear and are great for visually slimming thighs or making legs look long when paired with a heel. The perfect choice for curvy and pear-shaped women. Make sure your pair is slim through the thighs to create a leaner silhouette.

4. Wideleg

The Scoop: Casual and trendy, wideleg jeans give a relaxed appearance.

Wear Them With: Wear yours with something slim-fitting and tailored to balance out the fullness of the jeans.

Shoes to Choose: Wear these on the longer side with heels.

Flatter Your Figure: Avoid boxy or oversized tops which will visually widen your figure. A hem that hits just above the floor worn with a heel will make legs look long and lean.

5. Skinny

The Scoop: Whether you choose stovepipe, cigarette or tapered styles, skinny jeans are hot again this season. Lengths range from ankle length to super-long.

Wear Them With: A bit tricky to wear, skinny jeans look best with loose, blousy tops which help balance the proportions.

Shoes to Choose: For ankle lengths, choose flats for a classic look, heels for an '80s chic look. Longer lengths call for sexy pumps and ankle boots. Skinny jeans also look great tucked into knee high boots (a style that looks good on most everyone).

Flatter Your Figure: Sure, skinny jeans look great on skinny figures, but this doesn't mean average women can't wear them. Try pairing them with a long belted sweater or blousy tunic and heels to elongate and slim legs. Or tuck them into boots for a sexy look most women can pull off.

6. Trouser

The Scoop: Crisp, tailored trouser jeans are a great option to wear to work.

Wear Them With: Wear yours with something slim-fitting and tailored to balance out the fullness of the jeans. A tucked in feminine blouse is a classic look.

Shoes to Choose: Heels are the most flattering, let the hem of the pants fall about a 1/2 inch above the floor.

Flatter Your Figure: Avoid boxy or oversized tops which will visually widen your figure. A hem that hits just above the floor worn with a heel will make legs look long and lean. A crisp, full leg will help minimize thighs.

7. High Waisted

The Scoop: Haters of low-rise jeans will love the readily-available higher-rise choices. This retro style is the celebrity favorite of the moment.

Wear Them With: Short or cropped jackets, shrunken vests, flowing feminine tops, tucked in shirts.

Shoes to Choose: Definitely heels.

Flatter Your Figure: High waist jeans can be difficult to wear, especially if you've got a less than slim tummy, rear or hips. Women with long legs and a long torso look great in this style.
