Which plus-size jeans are best for short legs?
It’s a problem short plus-size women know well: Regular pants are often too long. And the bigger the off-the-shelf size, the longer the trouser legs!
Our tip: Keep an eye out for short sizes!
You can find lots of plus-size jeans in short sizes too in our store!
Straight cuts
To show your figure at its best, you should make sure you go for jeans with a higher waistband. This makes your hips appear higher, making your legs look longer and balancing out your body proportions.
Try to avoid paints with cuffs and ¾ length. Long length pants are better. Jeans with a straight leg or bootcut jeans are ideal. They make your legs appear longer and slimmer. Combine them with high heels to add to the effect.
DOs:
- straight cuts
- flared jeans
- long pants
- high heels with a pointed toe
DON’Ts
- ¾ length pants
- Cuffed pants
- low waistband
Which pants are best for big calves?
To hide big calves, jeans cut so they are loose around your lower legs are best – such as straight cuts, bootcut jeans or very wide flares, for example.
For a relaxed look, you can also cuff the legs on a pair of straight pants! Cuffed hems on jeans look great, especially with sneakers or pumps! At the same time, you emphasize the narrowest part of your legs – your ankles.
DO’s
- straight cuts
- bootcut jeans
- wide-leg pants
DON’Ts
- skinny jeans
- shiny fabrics
Which pants are best for big thighs?
For women with big thighs, plus-size jeans fit best if they are cut so they hug your figure until they reach your hips, and then hang more loosely from the thighs. This includes jeans with a straight leg and bootcut jeans. If you prefer something a little looser, you can also go for pants with a very wide leg. Not only are they all the rage, but they also hide your thighs and make you look slim.
Skinny jeans with big thighs
Do you like to accentuate your curves? Then you can wear a pair of skinny or slim jeans too! Worn with the right top, these plus-size jeans can expertly show off your figure. With a long top that dances around your thighs, for example.
DO’s
- bootcut
- straight cut
- wide-leg pants
- (skinny)
DON’Ts
- too light a wash on the thighs
- very short tops
Which pants are best for wide hips?
Women with wide hips should make sure they buy jeans with a high waistband. This will draw attention to your waist and conceal a bit of a belly.
You can choose your trouser cut depending on how much you want to emphasize your curves. As long as the waistband is on the high side, you’re already halfway there! Wide-leg pants make your legs look longer, whereas skinny jeans show off your curves.
DO’s
- waistband above the hips
- wide-leg jeans, straight cuts
DON’Ts
- low waistband
Which pants are best for saddlebags?
Can you see your problem area from three angles? Butt, hips, and thighs?
Then your best bet is straight cuts that visually balance out the difference between your problem area and the narrower lower half of your body.
Avoid carrot-fit skinny jeans, as they’ll emphasize your saddlebags. So it’s better to go for straight cuts that still fit close around the hips but get wider as they go down. You can choose between bootcut jeans, jeans with a straight leg and particularly wide-leg cuts. To make sure they don’t dig in around the hips, go for a high waistband.
DO’s
- high waistband
- straight cuts
- wide-leg cuts
DON’Ts
- carrot-fit skinny jeans
- low waistband
Comfort comes first
There’s one thing you should never forget when choosing pants: The most important thing is always that you feel good in your new plus-size jeans! Above all, they should be comfortable, give you enough freedom of movement, and never feel restrictive.
