If You’re Petite

Eileen Sayo, 26, was rolling up her too-long jeans (been there!), but that actually left her legs seeming even shorter. Glamour’s makeover expert Suze Yalof Schwartz swapped in a slim-fitting boot-cut pair, and had a tailor trim them to graze the tops of Sayo’s shoes.

If You Have No Backside

The loose, low-pocket “before” jeans flattened 21-year-old Tanasia Michelle’s tush. To the rescue: a perfect pair with curve-hugging stretch and higher-placed, detailed pockets. Welcome, cute behind!

If You Have Long Legs

“I’m sick of wearing high-waters,” says Lauren Hurst, 25. To fix the problem, Yalof Schwartz found brands that offer longer inseams, and gave Hurst this right-length tip: Jeans should graze the mid part of your foot.

If You’re Pear-Shaped

Yalof Schwartz put Kalyea Moss, 28, in a lower-rise pair to slim her hips and solve the gaping-waist problem that women with this body type encounter. Boot-cut, trouser or flare styles are best; super-tapered is worst.

If You’re Plus-Size

Charlotte Coyle, 27, thought baggier jeans would provide more coverage, which was like wearing a jeans version of a muumuu. Not good on any body! Once Yalof Schwartz put her in a straighter-cut pair, Coyle realized that form-fitting is more slimming.

If You’re Straight Up and Down

The last thing that Krista Mays, 22, wants is anything high-rise (it squeezes) or low-rise (it creates a muffin top!). What does work: a pair that sits on your hips.
