• Mid-rise jeans with a waistband that falls slightly above the widest part of your hip create the illusion of a narrower hip.
• Wide-leg or trouser jeans that fall from the widest part of your hip down to the hem create a longer, leaner-looking line. They work well if you intend to wear heels. Ensure the inseam is long enough just to hit almost the bottom to give a leg lengthening effect.
