The trick is to find a pair of jeans that highlight your best bits: you can always cover up your not-so-good parts. And remember, the sizing from one brand to the next can be completely different; so don’t think size, think shape. I have some Balenciaga jeans which I love because they are really thin and stretchy and make my legs look much longer, but they are a little less flattering around my bum, as they make it look a bit long too – and with my short legs, my bum isn’t long! But they do look nice with a floaty blouse that covers my bum, and I wear them all the time.

So, the trick is to think about balance and to use a few styling tricks. If you find a pair of jeans that make your bum and legs look great but that are a little loose around the waist, spend a little more on a good belt: it will pull them in and add extra style. The only definite no-no for me is when jeans are too tight at the waist, as this can give that wobbly spare tyre – or ‘muffin’ – look. I’d definitely go a size up in the jeans if this is the case: you wouldn’t believe how much more flattering they can turn out to be.

And don’t be put off by magazine articles that say a certain shape is not for you. If you like skinnies, wear them – you’ll soon find your own ways of making them work; whether it’s by wearing heels to add height, or pairing them with a jacket length that covers your bum and hips. Just do what I do: try, try, and keep trying until you find a pair that makes you feel good.
