Gap is having a major moment. The brand’s Better in Denim campaign has gone viral, reminding everyone that jeans aren’t just basics—they’re a canvas for your personal style. But here’s the real challenge: the same pair that looks amazing on TikTok might not feel right on your body.

That’s where LookSky changes the game. We’re not serving you inspo boards or stylist guesses. We show you exactly which Gap jeans work for your shape, your color season, and your vibe—and let you try them on virtually before you buy.

So yes, wear whatever you love. But if you want denim that flatters your body type and feels like it was made for you, here are the Gap styles to start with.

Hourglass → Waist-Defining Cuts

Hourglass shapes already have natural balance between bust and hips, so the goal is to keep the waist defined without adding bulk.

LookSky Pick 1: Gap High-Rise Vintage Slim

• Why it works: Snug at the waist with a straight leg that follows your curves without squeezing.

LookSky Pick 2: Gap Curvy Low Rise Long & Lean Jeans

• Why it works: Curvy fit prevents waist gapping, while the bootcut hem balances hips and thighs.

LookSky Pick 3: Gap Curvy High-Rise Stide Wide-Leg Jean

• Why it works: The subtle flare balances bust and hips, elongating legs in the process.

• Why it works: Taller frames carry bold, all-over patterns effortlessly—the length of the body keeps prints from feeling crowded.

Denim Fit Tips to Always Keep in Mind

• Pocket placement = everything. Higher back pockets lift, lower ones lengthen.

• Waistband fit changes proportion. An inch higher or lower can sculpt a completely different silhouette.

• Fabric weight matters. Stretch = sleek. Rigid = structured. Choose based on the vibe you want.

• Wash can transform fit. Dark = slimming, light = volume, faded = casual.
