Thanks, @Edie J Blige for keeping up with Sugar! We do often repost seasonal content when it's particularly relevant and especially if we have requests for some of our popular posts, like this denim guide. Of course, we'll always keep the site fresh with new stories and shopping guides, so stay tuned!

why is the Sugar network now reposting their content? I remember reading this article over a month ago. Is this an editorial change that will continue?

@kathili thanks for reading! We think people can wear multiple styles, it's more about how you wear them too. We're happy to help you find your best fit if you feel you'd like more fit advice! Let us know!

HI @Ciamar- for curvier bottoms, it's all about the pocket placement on the back. Look for flat pockets (not flap), and nothing too small or placed too high. The rise is important too... don't go for low-rise jeans, try medium rise. But you can totally wear skinny, flares- a bootcut might be your best friend!

This slideshow was great at pointing out the difference between different cuts of denim, but pretty useless regarding the best fit for your body....considering it said that every fit was great for any body....
