The Right Jeans Pocket for Your Body Type

Is one style of pocket any better for your shape than another? Most definitely.

Which Pocket Is for You?

When it comes to pockets, women who have an ample behind should choose medium-size pockets that are angled slightly toward the center and placed a bit higher than midcheek, which makes the bum look perkier. Subtle diagonal stitching is most slimming. Those with a flat rear should pick a flap design or pleating to add volume. Contrast embroidery and bold accents also create the illusion of a fuller derriere.
