Tips on Buying the Perfect Pair of Jeans!

Here are a few tips to remember while looking for that perfect pair of denims.

Always buy jeans or any item of clothing for that matter with your ‘body shape’ in mind. Two women could be the same height and weight but have a totally different shape. It is important to make sure that you buy jeans that flatter your body type and hide or take away emphasis on any flaws, as they can determine how good the rest of your outfit will look on you. For example, an extra slim fit will work wonders on someone with long and lean legs but at the same time, they can be a disaster for someone who carries bulk on the legs or derriere because they highlight the original shape of your legs and bottom.

Here are some of the choices you are faced with while looking for jeans –

Fits: This refers to how tight, how close to the skin the pants should be worn. Example: Regular jeans, slim jeans,skinny jeans, extra slim and relaxed or loose fit.

Cuts: This refers to the actual shape of the pants (Leg, waist and pocket types). Example: Boot cut, straight-leg, tapered, wide leg or flare-leg.

Rise: Rise means nothing more than how far below the belly button the jeans will sit. It is measured from the crotch to waist. Example: Regular-rise, High-rise, Low-rise and Ultra low-rise jeans.

Washes and Finishes: Usually with the purpose of achieving a soft, worn in look. Vintage, Distressed, Stone-wash, Tint, Torn and Creased are some examples.

Embellishments: Anything goes here, but embroidery and rhinestones are the favorites at the moment.

Look for denim with a bit of stretch for better comfort and fit. Stretch can go a long way in helping you find you’re best fitting jeans. Boot-cut and flared jeans give a long and lean look, which is flattering to most women. The rule of thumb while selecting the right wash type is that, the dark wash is very slimming while light wash can add some volume. So, choose the right wash appropriately depending on, whether you want right volume or not.

Be conscious of back pockets: both placement and size have a great effect on how well your rear will look. Avoid tiny pockets as well as pockets that are too far apart, they will make your butt look oversized. Pockets that are situated lower on the jeans make your bottom look higher. Be careful with embellishments and faded finishes in the rear because if you do not want to attract too much attention to your rear end, don’t decorate it!
