Choose the right jeans
It's not always easy to choose jeans. Especially not if you're trying a new brand for the first time. Or if you want to shop online and can't try on your new jeans beforehand.
What's your body shape like? Do you have long legs, short legs, wide hips, or a flat butt? With a little thought, you can avoid the worst mistakes. It's not that difficult. Just check out the tips below.
Here's what you fundamentally need to look for to find jeans that fit you well.
Do you have wide hips?
Choose straight-leg jeans. They create a good balance. Jeans with a regular or low waist will also often fit well, as they don't gape at the lower back as easily. If you choose skinny jeans, it's a good idea to pair them with heavy footwear to balance the look. Choose a top in a lighter color than your pants.
Do you have a flat butt?
Choose jeans that fit snugly – or a straight-leg style. This helps to make your legs appear longer and prevents your butt from looking flat. Choose jeans with stretch. This can give an extra lift. Also, pay attention to the placement of the pockets. Absolutely avoid low-set pockets.
Do you have a large butt?
Bootcut or straight-leg jeans provide balance if you feel your butt is too large. If you love skinny jeans, it's best to wear them with a long top. Choose jeans with a regular or low waist – they divide the butt and make it appear smaller. Pay attention to the placement of the back pockets. The higher the placement – the better. Never choose jeans without pockets.
Do you have a full stomach?
Go for straight-leg jeans. They have the most slimming effect. Choose jeans with a regular waist, preferably in combination with a loose top that extends over the waist. If you want skinny jeans, choose ones with plenty of stretch. Avoid belts as they emphasize the stomach.
Do you have full thighs?
If you have trouble finding jeans because your thighs are full, look for classic straight-leg jeans. They provide balance. If you love very tight jeans, combine them with heavy footwear and a long top. Choose jeans with stretch in a size that isn't painted on. Stay far away from light-colored jeans and jeans with pockets on the legs.
Do you have long legs?
Skinny jeans are perfect for long legs, at least if you want to highlight them. If you think your legs are too long, you can advantageously choose distressed jeans, as they break up the impression. Feel free to wear tops with patterns and bold colors.
Do you have very short legs?
Feel free to choose high-waisted and very tight jeans or straight-leg jeans. This will make your legs look longer. Add a top and shoes in a matching color. This will make you look taller. Avoid belts and flat shoes in bright colors. They will make you look shorter.
