Keep in mind the shape of your body when buying jeans. Ruch uses several models to demonstrate the type of jeans that go best with a variety of body types.
Stretch denim works best for petite figures.
Regular denim can be too baggy or long, while stretch denim will hug the figure. Plus, they can be paired with high heels for a dressy look that transforms easily from day to evening. Wash stretch-denim jeans after each wearing to keep them nice and tight. Denim capri pants work great for shorter figures, but shorter women often find it difficult to find capri pants in the proper length. A tip is to buy hard denim with unfinished bottoms and roll the pants up to about two inches below the knee.
