The Style: You may think back pockets are just your jeans' phone holder. But their real job is to make your butt Hudson hot. You want them the size of your palm and located at the center of each cheek. Also choose stretch. Pick jeans with 3 percent Lycra for a lift. A try-on must: Sit down to ensure your rise isn't too low--crack is still whack.

The Product: If your jeans are skintight, make sure your skin is tight, too. BioElixia BodyShaper Cellulite Contour Creme ($59) smooths lumps and bumps. Rub it on your tush and thighs daily post-shower and before bed.

The Move: For a perky butt, isolate glutes with a kick-back. Kneel with forearms on floor, a band around right foot; hold handles. Extend right leg back and up (as shown below). Return to start for 1 rep. Do 12 reps. Switch sides; repeat. Do 3 sets on odd days.
