FIT TIP # 1
THE RISE
or the distance from the center crotch seem to thee top of the waist band is the most important measurement to consider when you want to know what looks best on your body. “Low” rise according to one website may be “high” rise on you. Know your number.
Typically a higher rise looks best with a wider leg.
MID RISE
Mid rise means something different to each of us. Most women look best in an 10-11″ rise like these. I have the Levis and the Modern American. At 5’4″ they fit me like a high rise.

FIT TIP #2
THE OPENING
at the ankle helps create the overall silhouette. In crop flair styles choose a width that’s in proportion to your leg shape. If you have narrow calves or skinny legs consider a narrower opening closer to 13″ like these AG jeans verses the Mother crop flair at 15″ .

FIT TIP #3
THE INSEAM
or the distance from the center crotch seam to the opening plays a big role in which shoes you can wear. The most versatile pair comes close to the ankle. This inseam length gives you the most shoe options.
If you’re petite and want a crop jean, look for an inseam 26″ or less. Even though it may say “crop” online the jeans may be full length on you. These 25″ Mother jeans are perfect for my 5’4″ frame and short legs.

THE BOTTOM LINE
is it’s all about the bottom line and how your booty looks in your jean. Pay close attention to pocket placement, details, and size. A good place to start is with your hand. When extended it should be about the same size as your pocket.
