Fashion is a fun form of self-expression, but it’s also a tool to enhance features—sort of like a filter, but with fabric. If you have a flat butt that gets lost in jeans, you might just need to try a different style. Because, as it turns out, you can actually use your denim to lift and accentuate your backside to create the illusion of a rounder booty.

What Type of Jeans Make Flat Butts Look Bigger?

If you’re looking for the best jeans for flat butts, wardrobe stylist Kathryne Cole says to start with silhouettes that create shape. “A flare jean is ideal because it hugs the bottom, narrows at the knee, and widens at the hem, building the illusion of an hourglass,” she explains. However, if you prefer a straight silhouette, that can also work, depending on the style. “A cropped boot cut works similarly, hugging through the seat and thigh before releasing into a subtle flare,” she notes. “Both styles add balance and highlight curves where you want them.” Cole also says to consider the rise and to opt for a rise “that hits at your natural waist to emphasize your figure and butt.” 

In addition to these styles, celebrity stylist Samantha Brown says stretch can also give your boot some extra oomph. “Jeans with stretch will hug the body more closely, helping to exaggerate curves,” she explains. “Opt for a pair that hugs the curves of the body or a straighter style.”
