Jeans – How to Choose the Right Pair for You
Ahhhh… Jeans. How to pick the right pair.
Let’s face it, when shopping for the perfect jeans, it’s all about the butt.
Does my bum look good it these?
Jeans are the bread and butter of a wardrobe. Always good for a bbq, the movies, a low-key party, and that endless school run.
Dress them up with a statement top, add some fabulous coloured accessories, like a pair of shoes and an eye catching necklace and some earrings.
Dress them down with a casual t-shirt, some sandals or ballet flats and off you go. I love a leopard print ballet flat, with jeans!
I often hear my clients say, “I can never find jeans that suit me.”
Here are a few basic tips to get you started.
- If you’re broader or heavier on top then a bootleg or wide leg jean will suit you more, as it balances you out. ‘Target’ has a great selection at affordable prices. Not Your Daughters’ are an American brand with a high waist that suits a curvier shape. ‘Autograph’, have a terrific elasticised waist jean that looks great, are very affordable and comfy.
- If you’re narrow through the hips and petite on top then a straighter leg jean will be suited to your shape. ‘Nobody Jeans’ and ‘Jeans West’ have a good selection of straight leg jeans.
- Get curious and have a bit of fun, try some coloured jeans.
- Larger pockets best flatter a bigger bottom.
- Smaller buttoned pockets add curves to a flat bottom.
- Hem length should reach the bottom of your heel.
- Always go for a firm fit as they stretch a little.
- A dark solid coloured denim will make you appear slimmer and are more suited for evening.
Warning: Jeggins are not jeans!
