I am the definition of pear shape...small waist compared to my hips. These jeans feel like they were made for me! I ordered 12X30 and they are perfect fit in every way (I'm 5'3"). I have thicker thighs than one would expect with my waist size and have a very hard time finding jeans that fit in both places...but these fit like a dream. The blue is a contemporary indigo blue color. I'm ordered another pair because they are so darn comfy. If you are a pear, these are the right jeans to get. If you are an apple- well, the legs will be really baggy on you probably.
