Must-Have Spring Jeans

    What's the hottest denim trend for spring? You decide! It's all about variety this season, which means you'll see wide legs, skinny silhouettes and high-waisted trousers in all sorts of shades, from classic dark navy to brights like yellow and red. StyleList found the best of the new crop, plus tips on which will look best on you.

    Dark Wash

    If you're buying just one pair of jeans this spring, make them dark denim. "The dark color gives you the option to wear your jeans with anything," says Barneys New York CO-OP denim specialist Erlens Vital. "It gives you versatility." Jovovich-Hawk for Target. $35, www.target.com

    Trousers

    These trouser jeans are ideal for concealing full hips and thighs -- with the right footwear. "You need to wear a high heel to give you that elongation of the silhouette," advises Henri Bendel fashion director Ann Watson. Banana Republic Palazzo Jean. $98, www.bananarepublic.com

    Capri

    The freshest way to pull off the still-popular skinny jean is to wear them capri length with flats. These Sevens are ideal for the smaller-framed, so if you've got a full figure, make sure to pair them with a long, loose top or tunic. Seven Edie Flood Jeans. $154, www.shopbop.com

    Colors

    For a look that screams spring, go for the new bright colors. For extra splash, pair them with a top in a different, equally vibrant hue. "Color is non-stop this season," says Henri Bendel's Ann Watson. Madewell Zip Crop Garment Dye Jeans. $92, www.madewell1937.com

    Pencil Skirt

    "A fitted, slim skirt is a nice look for spring," says Barneys' Erlens Vital. "Knee length is perfect -- you can wear it with everything." Whether you're 25 or 45, this skirt looks as good dressed up with heels as it does with flip-flops. Converse One Star Skirt. $27, www.target.com

    High Waist

    High-waisted jeans were a major trend for fall, and you'll see them again -- but in lighter colors -- this spring. The cut is ideal for curvy figures, since it accentuates the waist -- wear them with a narrow, fitted top. Citizens of Humanity Hutton High Rise Wide Leg Jeans. $167, www.shopbop.com

    All-in-One

    These Marc by Marc Jacobs jeans incorporate several of this season's key trends -- a high waistline, full leg and colored denim, but in subtle doses that make it easy for any body type to pull off. Marc by Marc Jacobs Brooke Jeans. $198, www.barneys.com

    Retro

    These wide legs are a good option for ladies with a thicker middle. Although they have a lower inseam than the high-waisted styles, fear not: there's no threat of the "muffin tops" created by the low rise cuts of past seasons. Old Navy Diva Patch Pocket Jeans. $34.50, www.oldnavy.com

    Short and Dark

    We're going to be honest. If you're over 30 and don't want to look like Britney Spears, make sure to pair this dark denim mini with opaque leggings (bright pink or orange are trendiest) and a great pair of flats. American Eagle Tab Front Denim Mini. $39.50, www.ae.com
