Find The Jean Style That Suits Your Shape Best

Jeans and denim trousers will continue to be popular in the
coming seasons. With so many different styles to choose from,
it can get quite confusing to pick the right pair for your body
type. Following are a few guidelines for every shape:

Petite

Look for a low-rise straight or skinny leg. Stay away from
capris, flares and too much embellishment, which cut the length
of your legs. Also avoid higher rises, because they make your
torso look shorter.

Boyish

The trendy low-rise skinny jean or sandblasted denim is made for
your shape. Smaller or lower sitting back pockets create the
illusion of curves. Refrain from wearing looser fits, which
create a more masculine look.

Pear

Go for a slight boot-cut or straight leg to balance a bigger hip
and thigh. Make sure the jeans are snug, but not too tight around
your thigh. A medium to higher-rise is recommended. Larger or
higher sitting back pockets will make a large bum appear smaller.

Apple

In order to create the slimmest look, wear a slim-leg stretch-
denim boot cut or a straight leg. A high rise helps camouflage a
few extra pounds in the midsection. Higher sitting back pockets
will lift your behind.

Plus size

Look for a mid- to high-rise straight-leg in dark denim,
preferably with a little stretch (2% spandex/lycra). Men’s styles
may also fit you well. Avoid tapered legs and bulky front pockets.

Only buy jeans that fit really well; Price and label are less
important. Also keep in mind that denim will stretch. If the fit
is too loose when you buy your jeans, you will notice that it
will get even looser with time.

Denim usually shrinks during the first wash. Should you need to
get the legs altered, have it done after washing and drying, or
you may end up with jeans that are too short.

Last, but not least, this is how you prevent your jeans from
fading too soon: always wash your jeans inside out, add a little
vinegar to the wash to set the color and wash your newer and
older jeans together.
