WhitneyPicking Blue Jeans for Your Body Type
August 14th 2009 18:03
Depending on your body type, you probably have found that you just can't fit into every style of jean, and not all jeans fit into you. The best thing to do is to assess the situation. What is your body type? And let's go from there.
Assuming that you know what body shape you have, you'll want to check out the following suggestion for blue jeans for your body.
Have a slight belly
For women with a slight belly, you want to select a moderate rise jean that is about 8-9 inches from crotch to waist. You want to waist band to hit just below your belly button so that it covers your stomach, reining in the problem. You can even find some jeans that have a wide waistband sometimes with a little bit of stretch material which will provide a subtle girdle effect.
You may want to consider jeans with a slight flare to offset your middle area.
Hourglass figure
If you have a bit of a curvier body, you'll want jeans that are cut higher in the back to fit over your bottom area, keeping it and you covered. You'll also want to find a jean that has a contoured wasitband because this will help reduce gapping, since hourglass figures are known for small waits. You can determine the contoured waistband by the seam indicating that it was cut on a curve and sewn together versus being one piece of material.
Tapered legs will flatter your hips more. You'll generally find that you'll have more room in the thigh area and less toward the ankle.
Full hips and thighs
You want to find a contoured waistband with a high rise in the back. You want to make sure that the front rise isn't less than eight inches. The waistband should be worn at the hipbone or belly button in order to cut into the body at the widest spot, holding in and slimming the thighs. You want to stick with fabrics that have no more than 2% stretch material.
Wide leg pants will offer a roomier fit for your thighs; just make sure that the jeans are cut for wide legs and that you didn't purchase a size too large.
You can also consider pants that have straight leg style with a more ankle-hugging leg.
Straight Figure
If you have more of a straight figure, pretty much anything goes in terms of the rise and the style of jean. You can get away with low-riders, high-waisted cuts, light washes, and heavily adorned designs. But, you'll want to stick with jeans that flatter your body type the best, which will be those with a slimmer, tighter fit and a waistband that runs across the middle. If the jean has a waistband that is curved too much, it can create a highly unflattering look and spillage in the rear.
Jeans that flare out at the knees in order to provide the illusion of curves. Low rise jeans with a snug fit will play up your legs, and by wearing a sailor-style jean with back pockets you can give umph to your bum and bring focus to your hips.
Pear Shape
Wear darker jeans to make your hips look less wide. Your legs are a little shorter because and your thighs a little plumper, so consider a jean that is straight cut with the illusion of long legs.
Apple Shape
Counter balance your wide upper area with a pair of jeans that doesn't taper at the bottom. Boot cut or flared jeans are great because they make your body more proportioned. Low rise jeans are also flattering because you have slim hips.
