Orange Trousers & Jeans

A high-waisted straight-leg is widely considered the most universally flattering, elongates legs, defines waist, works with every body type. But the most flattering jean is the one that fits your body comfortably. Our Style Finder helps narrow down which rises and cuts might work for your proportions.

Full-length should just skim the top of your shoe. Cropped trousers hit at or just above the ankle bone. Wide-legs often look best slightly longer, pooling gently. If you're between lengths, having trousers hemmed by a tailor is always worth the tenner.

With the right proportions, absolutely. High rise to elongate legs. Slightly tailored waist. Pointed-toe shoes or heels for height. Avoid excessively wide hems that pool on the floor, a clean drape that just skims the shoe is most flattering. It's about cut, not height.
