Jeans are more essential than a trend piece. They scream relaxation and top the list of comfort wear. Because women come with dramatically different body shapes, it is normally hectic to shop for a pair of Jeans that will suit your body perfectly and hide problem areas. Some Jeans makes you look thinner when you want to look bigger and some just make you look, well, really bad!
No matter what shape you fall into, it is possible to find pants that can boldly emphasize your assets
Women with a tummy
Avoid low cut jeans. These jeans divide your stomach and make it look like it flows over the jeans. Go for jeans that run slightly below your belly button and ones that do not have too many details on the waist area. Straight jeans will make your legs look longer and thinner. Flared jeans are also perfect because they will balance out the tummy. Find jeans that are mostly comfortable around the waist area so that you don’t find yourself unbuttoning after meals.
Full Hips and thighs
If you have this kind of body shape you should watch out for vertical pockets. These are pockets that lie along the side hems. They will make your hips look wider. Always go for straight or flared jeans to give you a balanced look. The fabric too will play a big role in accentuating your shape. Bulky fabric will not do anything to flatter your shape.
Petite
The idea here is to look elongated. Cropped tight jeans will make you look taller. Avoid baggy or flared pants unless you pair them with heels and a fitting top.
Straight shape
Also described as boyish shape, it goes well with almost anything. The most flattering jeans for this body type should be tight and fitting with a waist that runs across the middle to add femininity and definition to your body.
Hourglass
High waist jeans will perfectly accentuate your curvy boy shape. Always go for a pair whose front side of the waistband runs lower than the back to avoid the gaping at the back. Stretch denim will hold the tummy quite well and also add smooth contoured lines over hips and thighs.
There are always jeans for everyone. If a pair does not accentuate your best features, then it is not worth the legwork!
