How to Pick Denim Jeans for Women's Fashion

Picking a pair denim jeans can be intimidating for any woman. Today's jean fashions have so many choices! Here is how to narrow down the search and pick the right jeans for your body type.

Difficulty: Moderately Easy

Instructions

Things You'll Need:

• A full-length mirror
• A dressing room

1. Look for jeans with a flared leg if you are hippy or heavy on top. This balances out the look and draws the eye away from your problem areas.

2. Find jeans with a little stretch in the fabric if you are curvy. The stretch hugs your curves and shows them off.

3. Hide big bottoms with pockets that are positioned up high. Also, look for jeans that have few embellishments on the tush. These draw attention you don't want!

4. Cover a tummy roll with high-waisted jeans. These should rest just above your navel and have an extra wide waistband.

5. Conceal an overall plump body with dark-wash jeans that have very few embellishments.

6. Widen narrow hips by choosing low-ride jeans that sit right on your hip line.

Tips & Warnings

• Dark-wash jeans make every women look longer and leaner.
• Avoid faded washes that land right on your trouble spots.
• Make sure the waistband of the jeans isn't too tight. One way to tell is to look in the mirror. Do you have a muffin top rolling over the jeans? If so, put them back and get a size larger.
