Michelle T. Sterling, Founder of Sterling Style Ac Michelle T. Sterling, Founder of Sterling Style Academy, was recently featured in E! News, sharing her expert advice on the best jeans for a short torso—and the styles that can make proportions more difficult.

How can someone tell if they have a short torso? According to Michelle, if there is very little space between the ribcage and hips, they most likely have a short torso. Another indication is when high-rise jeans sit very close to the ribs.

For a short torso, low- to mid-rise jeans usually create better balance. Straight-leg, slim-straight, bootcut, and slight-flare styles can all work beautifully, provided the rise does not sit too high on the waist.

Michelle emphasizes that the rise is everything. She recommends avoiding jeans that sit directly beneath the ribcage, along with overly thick waistbands, paperbag waists, and bulky details around the waist. A contrasting belt can also visually shorten the torso.

Cropped wide-leg jeans may disrupt the proportions, while balloon and barrel-leg styles can sometimes create too much volume through the leg in relation to the waist.

Some good starting points include:

Levi’s 501 ’90s
Gap mid-rise straight
Madewell mid-rise
AGOLDE straight-leg
FRAME bootcut
MOTHER denim

Thank you to Alexa and E! News for featuring Michelle’s professional styling advice.

Zara “Death Trousers”: How to Wear Wide-Leg Pants Zara “Death Trousers”: How to Wear Wide-Leg Pants Without Tripping

Wide-leg, flowy trousers may look effortless, but the fit and hem length matter—especially with the viral Zara “Death Trousers.”

The first thing to consider is the shoes you will actually wear with them. I recommend trying them on with flat sandals or flip-flop-style thongs. For safety, the hem should allow the top of your foot to show and should sit just below the ankle rather than dragging on the floor.

I own several pairs of trousers like this, and although some may skim the floor slightly, you do not want excess fabric dragging, wrapping around your leg, or getting caught under your shoes.

With an elastic waistband, buying the correct size is also essential. If the waistband is too tight, it may emphasize the sides of the waist. If it is too loose, the trousers can slide down. The elastic should fit comfortably and securely without squeezing.

Because wide-leg trousers create so much volume on the bottom, pair them with a fitted T-shirt, tank top, or simple fitted top to create a more balanced silhouette.
