Q&A: How to Find the Perfect Jeans for Your Body Type
May 18th, 2007
Q: I’m 5 feet tall, curvy, and love skinny jeans. Just think of me as a five foot Beyonce. What brand is best for me?
A: Off the cuff, we recommend Babyphat jeans, as they are designed to fit women with curves. But for personalized recommendations, we’d also suggest taking a look at Zafu.com. They’ve tried on and tested hundreds of jeans, and after filling out a short questionnaire (it took me less than 5 minutes), they give you your best jean recommendations.

I’m 5 foot 3 inches. My inseam is thirty-one and a half. I have really skinny thighs and just skinny legs over all. i have a perky butt. but i’m not all that curvy. I’m extremely thin. i’m short but i have legs as long as my taller friends.
what are the best jeans for a skinny, lanky girl who likes to wear her jeans low on the hips and likes them to fit snug. I’m not a huge fan of ‘skinny’ jeans. i like flares and bootcuts.
thanks!
