For many fashionistas finding a perfect pair of jeans can be quite an overwhelming task. However it is an absolute necessity to have a fabulous pair that fit comfortably and highlight your body. Different denim cuts can hide certain flaws and accentuate the right curves. Denim specialty boutiques typically have in-house tailors to custom fit your jeans, while fashion websites like www.zafu.com offer a list of questions to help find the best brand to suit your shape.
‘Jean’ious Guidelines
- You can never go wrong with a boot-cut jean. This style flares slightly at the ankle and makes most body types appear taller and slender. ~Try Frankie B. Jeans
- Although skinny jeans are a celebrity favorite, they only flatter skinny legs. If you have thicker thighs, try a pair of stretch denim with a little lycra or spandex. They will hug your curves and make you appear thinner. ~Try Taverniti So Jeans
- If you are petite, look for straight leg jeans or denim capris. Straight leg jeans can easily be hemmed without losing their shape, while capris accented with a pair of heels make shorties seem much taller. ~Try Citizens of Humanity
- Those named “bootylicious” should stay clear of jeans accented with embellishments or small pockets on the rear. You don’t want your derriere to appear larger. ~Try Joe’s Jeans
- Stonewash jeans are still out! Even if you feel the need to reincarnate the 80’s – DON’T. Dark washes of denim flatter almost any body type and look the most polished. ~Try Antik Denim
