Determining which pair of jeans to buy is not easy. Even after trying on several different pairs and making alterations, there is no guarantee that you’ll like how those new jeans make you look.
If this is your daily struggle, this article is for you.
Tip #1: Shades matter.
Dark jeans make you look smaller and thinner while light jeans make you look bigger. This is as a result of visual illusion. Take advantage of this, depending on how you would love to look for an outing.
Tip #2: Your body type matters.
Folks with inverted triangle, square, and circle body shapes (somas), look better in low-rise jeans, while people with slim, hourglass, rectangle and triangle body shapes look good in high-waist jeans. Know your body shape and see how this tip works like magic for you.
Tip #3: The design matters.
- There shouldn't be a space between the end of your zipper and your crotch area (Better still, just a little space between should be between these two areas). It makes your jeans fold at the crotch area. Also, If there is no space between the zipper and the crotch area, your body looks visually elongated, and no attention will be drawn to the crotch area.
- If the back pockets are high up i.e the distance between your butt criss and the end of the back pockets looks long, it makes the bum look more feminine and pretty!
- Also, high-up back pockets should have little space in between(i mean the space between the two back pockets). When the distance is noticeable, it makes your butt look saggy unattractively.
- Massive back pockets make the bum look smaller while smaller back pockets make the bum look bigger.
- Also, tight jeans are not a bad idea; they look fashionable and chic. Be careful they aren't super tight though, as this could lead to some serious health implications.
Tip #4: Our ultimate buyer's guide.
To determine if a pair of jeans is perfect for you, without trying it on, you should:
- Hold the jeans at the ends of the waist, and try to wrap them around your neck. If the length is smaller than your neck, the jeans will be smaller than your waist. But if the ends easily touch each other, it's your size. The ends of the waist don't necessarily have to meet, but they should easily wrap around your neck.
- Bend your arm at the elbow, and clench a fist. Your arm should easily fit into a zipped-up waistband. Of course, if they're high-waist jeans, your arm shouldn't fit into the waist completely.
- To check if the jeans are long enough, hold the edges of the legs, and put your arms to the sides as far as you can i.e. hold the jean trousers horizontally. If the middle of the jeans is right under your chin, at neck level, congratulations! You've chosen a great pair.
- To check if your foot will easily fit into skinny jeans, just clench your hand into a fist, and see if it fits. The protruding bones of the hand should easily pass into the leg opening without stretching the edges.
