MANILA, Philippines??My choice of jeans style would be the classic straight cut. I have very athletic legs, and it?s difficult to conceal them because of their proportions. I always opt for straight-cut jeans to give an illusion of leaner and longer legs.

?Bobby Carlos, creative director, Make Up For Ever Philippines

?Since I have a really tiny frame, I prefer either really skinny jeans or wide-legged, trouser-cut ones. The skinny ones are so easy to use, you can just wear a minidress or longish top with them; the trouser-cut ones, I like wearing with fitted, sexy tops, like a bustier or a back-baring halter.?

?Kate Torralba, designer

?I?m still into skinny jeans right now; they make my legs look longer and give them a lean effect?plus, they?re easy to tuck into boots! My favorite ones are by Grab, which are low-waist; J brand which are cropped (great with flats!); and Diesel, a high-waist one that cinches all the unwanted love handles!

?Xeng Zulueta, makeup artist

?Dark wash, skinny with stretch, and tapered at the ankles so that they?re versatile to wear with ballet flats, stilettos or boots.?

?Zerline Chan, marketing operations for Lancome Asean

?I go for the extremes?either skinny or wide-leg cut. I find that both cuts are very slimming and elongating on me. Choosing between the two depends on my top and, of course, the occasion.?

?Princess Violago, actress

?I love two kinds of jeans, either skinny jeans (which show off the shape of my legs) and the semi-straight/boot cut, because they?re sexy with heels. Most importantly, the material should be stretchy so I can move around freely.?

?Gretchen Fullido, Star Patroler, ?TV Patrol?/weather, sports and entertainment anchor, ABS-CBN News Channel

?I love skinny jeans?they create the illusion of length, which adds height (important for me because I?m a petite woman). The slender cut at the calves creates curves on the hip and buttocks area. I love wearing them with stilettos or boots.?

?NJ C. Torres, PRO, Marie France Bodyline Intl.

I?m a big fan of the skinny flare or the tight boot. I?m shamelessly pimping my favorite, custom-made pair from Defacto Industry?they are jean-iuses.?

?Tals Diaz, columnist

?Slim-fit jeans. I used to be terrified of wearing tight jeans because of my massive thighs from swimming when I was younger, so for the longest time I only wore boot-cut jeans. But now I find that the right slim-fit jeans can actually make your legs appear smaller and leaner.?

?Jigs Mayuga, chief makeup artist, L?Oreal Paris Philippines

?I?m not one to ?dress up? jeans, as they are strictly for hanging out, so the ones I do have are all very comfortable and relaxed. Whether wide-leg or skinny-straight, I have to be able to move around in them. Only dark washes though, I don?t like faded denim.?

?Erica Paredes, beauty editor, Metro magazine-freelance makeup artist

?I love skinny jeans because they give the illusion of long legs when worn with killer heels!?

?Ruby Gan, entrepreneur

?I love skinny jeans because I think they go with everything! It?s a staple in any wardrobe!?

?Anna Go, media relations head, Rustan?s Commercial Corp.

?I prefer wide-leg pants because when worn with platforms or heels, they make one appear taller.?

?Bianca R. Salonga, features editor, Mega magazine

?I wear them straight-cut.?

?Leah Caringal, managing director, Green Bulb PR

?I like mine straight and loose.?

?Pat Dy, rocker-photographer

?Boot-leg or straight.?

?Happy David, designer

?I like skinny jeans because they make me look sexy even if I am petite.?

?Say Alonzo, actress

?I like straight-cut jeans because they make me seem less bottom-heavy, especially when I wear them rolled up to above the ankle with this season?s loose white tee. I accessorize with an oversized tote, sunglasses and strappy flats. I saw Nicole Richie and Mary-Kate Olsen in similar outfits and thought it?d be the perfect thing to throw on for lazy days.?

?Andrea de Guzman, fashion assistant, Metro magazine

?I love skinny jeans with a high waistline. They really flatter my body type and lengthen my legs, especially when I wear with high heels.?
