Look for clothes in "short" lengths--some stores carry them regularly (like Gap and Express). Don't get the extreme skinny jeans that have too much stretch. A little stretch is good, but not too much! This year, dark-colored denim is in, like black denim. Get a dark wash like that instead of a grey or light blue wash.
I don't know of any jeans that make you look taller--except jeans that are the right length. Capris or jeans that are too long make you look shorter, so be sure to get the right length! What you wear with your jeans is important, too. Go shoe shopping, and get a good pair of boots that will hit at your mid-calf that you can tuck your jeans into. Don't do flats with the skinny jeans, because those will make you look more pear-shaped. The best boots will have a bit of a heel, at least 2 inches. That's instant height! Plus, it makes your legs look longer. To wrap up the look, wear one of those tunic shirts (you know, the long ones) that hit somewhere in the middle of your butt area. Don't do the ones that just barely cover it, because those look like maternity tops (blah). Get a good belt and sling it around your hips, or use a smaller one around your waistline to create an hour glass figure. Alternatively, wear a long, loose tunic with a wide belt wrapped around your waist (not hips). That look's cute and kind of retro, and it's a lot of fun. Don't let the skinny jean craze scare you--this season has some good looks for everybody. Just be sure to shop around and try things on--no grabbing things off the shelf randomly! :) Just avoid the leggings craze--that one's impossible to pull off unless you're really tall and impossibly thin.

skinny jeans probably won't work for you. trust me they don't work for a lot of people. i'm 5'8" and my weight is exactly what it should be, i'm not really hippy and i have skinny thighs, but skinny jeans make me look HUGE. tapered legs are flattering on a very select few.
for girls with wider hips or heavier, boot cut jeans are the best. boot cut is flattering on almost everyone.
don't settle for a pair of jeans that will squeeze your fat over the top. that will just make you look heavier, go ahead and go up a size, or shop somewhere else.
for taller you'll have to go with a pair of heels.
thankfully, wearing heels makes your legs and your butt look nicer. they promote all around good posture, which will make you look thinner.

skinny jeans will not suit your body type it would make u look bigger u need to wear jeans suited for ur body type so you don't look out of place

no jeans make you look taller really but try wearing a wedge or a heel and it makes you look skinnier and taller! try american eagle ae.com for petite size jeans
