#117 : Best Jeans for your Body Type
Wednesday, March 24, 2010 @ 11:56 PM
Denim has stuck around so long because of its versatility, and also because you really can't go far wrong with well-cut jeans. Question is, how do you find that perfect pair? The answer -- right here in this denim shopping guide.
Boot-cut jeans
A timeless fashion staple, the boot-cut is slightly flared at the legs and makes the most of your curves. The flared bottom makes the hips look slimmer and minimizes thighs and calves, making it perfect for the fuller figure.
How to wear boot-cut jeans: Wear your boot-cuts with high-heeled sandals or boots to create extra height. If you have a full figure, opt for boot-cuts with clean lines and minimal detailings and embellishments to avoid unnecessary bulk.
The skinny jeans
Nothing draws attention to your curves like a pair of skinny jeans, which is form-fitting all the way down to the ankles. The skinny jeans looks best on women with a boyish frame and long legs (like Victoria Beckham) because the slender cut accentuates curves at the hips and behind. Its long-leg line also flatters shorter girls and adds height.
How to wear skinny jeans: If you have a pear-shaped figure, team skinny jeans with tunic or longer-length tops which will disguise chunky thighs and large hips. If you are top-heavy, avoid voluminous blouses and go for something fitted on top instead to balance out your figure.
Straight-cut jeans
The straight-leg jeans is a favorite classic because of its flattering leg-lengthening effect. The legs, as the name implies, run straight from the thigh down, and they can come in a slim-fitting cut (like Cameron Diaz's 7 for All Mankind denim) or the roomier version.
How to wear straight-cut jeans: If you're petite or have a long torso, go for slim-fitting straight-cuts with a higher waist to create the illusion of longer legs. Also, choose hems that end just below the ankles and dress up denim with stilettos! If you're blessed with height, try the low-waisted ones for a sexier silhouette.
Boyfriend jeans
If you love the look and comfort of slouchy jeans, welcome to the boyfriend jeans fan club which includes celebrities like Katie Holmes. Relaxed around the waist and legs, this ultra-cool jeans is the perfect denim for a casual day out.
How to wear boyfriend jeans: Offset the masculine factor by pairing man-tailored jeans with girly ballet flats and something feminine on top.
Flared jeans
Give a nod to the seventies with the retro bell-bottom jeans. Flares are as comfortable as a pair of slouchy boyfriend jeans, with an added bonus: They have a sexier silhouette and a slimming effect. Bell-bottoms work best for women who have some height to their frames to balance out the wide hems.
How to wear flared jeans: Team flared jeans with fitted tops that can be tucked into the waist and ground the look with chunky platforms. If you are bottom-heavy, go for wide-leg flared jeans (as sported by AnnaLynne McCord) that is roomy around the thighs and balances out large hips.
Low-rise jeans
The sexy hipster-style jeans lengthens the torso and narrows the hips, and therefore looks best on women with a short waist or curvy hips. A low-rise also thickens the waist and shortens the legs, so avoid the hipster style if these are exactly the flaws you're trying to hide.
How to wear low-rise jeans: Low-waisted jeans look extra-chic when accessorized with a wide stylish belt. Unless you have toned abs like Ali Larter, it's a good idea to team your jeans with a longer-length t-shirt or blouse for cover-up.
