Jean
Styles For Every Body Type
By Lakeysha Green
From the ultra slim drain pipe
to the universally flattering
bootcut, jeans have become the
ultimate wardrobe staple. Every
pair is as unique as their denim
wash, but in a world where all
bodies are not created equal,
finding the perfect jean is often
elusive. To aid you in your quest
for the best fit, we have put
togther the most popular styles
and the body types they work best
with.
Bootcut:
This
cut is universal for all body types.Narrow
hips look great in a fitted bootcut
jean w/ heels. If you have curvy
hips you will appreciate the balance
that the slight flare brings to
your silhouette. Be sure to buy
these jeans with enough ease so
that the fabric skims your curves,
not clings.
Relaxed
Fit:
This
is a casual cut that provides ease
throughout, which is great if you
have full hips & legs. If you
have a small bum be careful of bagging
around your bottom.
Wide
Leg:
This
is a great cut for jeans and trousers.
This cut drapes over the hips and
eases throughout the leg creating
a crisp line thats very flattering
. This jean is a great way to smooth
over full hips and thighs.
Skinny
Jeans:
This
leg skimming cut is great for showing
off lean legs. If like some women
you have a full upper body, and
slim lower body, use this style
to highlight you slender lower body.
Petites can visually add height
with the long leg line of this jean.
Trouser:
The
straight full leg of this cut skims
curves for a clean line on all body
types. If you have a full bottom
or hips, look for a contoured waistband
for a flattering fit.
Flare:
This
cut typically skims the leg at the
top and widens below the knee. This
is not an issue if you have a slender
lower body, but if you have full
hips avoid very wide flares because
it will exagerate the width of your
hips, instead opt for a bootcut.
