Ladies,
Have you squished, squatted, bent and shoved your body into
denim places it just wouldn't go? Have you tried on dozens of
pair of jeans in dressing rooms to no avail? Are you too leggy,
too hippy, too shapely, or lacking in shape all together? Do
you think denim just never fits? Think again.
Not only do we have a list of jeans to suit your shape, but
you can successfully shop for them from the comfort of your computer
screen. After decades of denim, fitting into it finally just
got smart. From sizing, to shopping, to fixing, we'll give you
a quick lesson on finding the right pair of jeans for your body.
Dangerous curves lay ahead. The hipster jean
revival used to mean that your thong was making more public
appearances than Tom Cruise in love. Nobody wants to see that.
You can't hide your booty or hips in those baggy jeans. Instead,
wear bootcuts and slight flares
that will balance out your above-the-ankle architecture. Choose
your pockets wisely (big, not small; embellished ones for the
booty-ful), cuts that dip just below your waistline, and steer
clear of all light washes.
You've been lovingly labeled as "tank-shaped," or "athletic" and
your architecture appears to be more boyish than serpentine.
Contrary to your masculine physique, you are not supposed to
buy men's jeans. Instead, create the illusion of curves by bringing
attention to your ankles with either a taper or a slim, straight
leg.
If you're either too tall or too tiny, buying
jeans generally means a trip to the tailor for a little seam
adjustment. For the leggy, longer inseams are increasingly available.
Bootcuts, flares, and cuffs offer a visual break in your long
lines. For the shorter shorties, pairing low-rise, narrow-legged
jeans with heels should do the trick. If you're
curvy opt for ankle flare to balance out your
hips.
Having a heavier top-line, a swimmer's body, or a waistline
that's greater than your hipline can be a rough denim fit. Don't
hide your waist. Adding definition in the form of a medium-rise
waistline will not only avoid the fashion
faux pas muffin top
(flesh that balloons over your waistline), but also detract the
focus you'll get from a high waistline. Keep darks on top and
lighter washes on the bottom. And stay away
from drainpipes and skinnies.
Denim is such a big deal these days that whole sites are dedicated
to fitting, fixing and obsessing over them.
