Choosing The Right Jeans For Your Shape

March 4th, 2011 by admin | Print

Women’s jeans come in all shapes and sizes, but finding the perfect pair for your body shape can sometimes be tricky. Read on to find out everything you need to know.
Skinny Jeans
If you are long legged or petite, then skinny jeans are the ones to go for. Pair with ankle boots or ballet flats for a look that will accentuate your figure and make you look thinner. If you are very thin, then contrasting dye jeans will give you a bit of extra dimension.
Avoid skinny jeans if you have an apple shape, as they will make you look bigger.
Flares and Wide Leg Jeans
Flared jeans are set to be big this year, as part of the 70s revival which is taking place. This is great news for pear shaped women as they balance out large hips and thighs and make you look thinner. If you want to balance out the flared effect, pair them with chunky platform shoes.
Bootcut Jeans
The most versatile pair of jeans you can buy, the bootcut is a classic fit which never seems to date. Bootcut jeans can help to make the most of your curves and deflect attention away from the waist, hips and thighs. By disguising the calves, they can make legs longer and leaner. Bootcut jeans are the perfect choice for the fuller figure and can be worn with either high-heeled boots to create extra height, or flats to shorten the leg.
Boyfriend Jeans
For bigger ladies, Boyfriend jeans are a godsend. With their large pockets, slouchy waist and loose legs, these jeans can be glammed up with a stylish jacket or blazer.
General Tips
• Choose denim with a bit of stretch for a comfortable fit but don’t go for jeans that are shapeless or saggy.
• Bootcut and flared jeans are the most versatile choice as they suit most body types and can help to give a long and lean look.
• Unless you are ultra-then, avoid ultra tapered jeans as these will draw attention to the hips and thighs.
• Unless you are short, avoid jeans with cuffs are fun as they will make you look shorter.
• Make sure hems cover most of your shoe.
• Avoid tiny pockets that are spaced too far apart, these will make your behind look wide.
