Tips For Find The Right Pair Of Jeans

Every woman wants to look good in her jeans, but for some women finding that perfect fit is hard, especially if you have a curvy body. The fact of the matter is that most clothing makers seem to create their clothing for size 4 women who are six feet tall, and who have no curves. And while that may be what “America’s Next Top Model” is looking for, that’s now what real women look like!

So how do you find jeans for curvy women that fit well, are flattering, and actually reflect the latest styles? According to those in the know, the trick is to look for jeans that fit well, in styles that accentuate those sexy curves that scrawny fashion models secretly dream about. But how do you choose a pair of jeans that fit well?

When you are looking for jeans for curvy women, find a pair that fits well by sticking to these rules:

Rule #1: Keep it tucked in. Avoid the muffin top. Low rise and ultra low rise jeans can create a muffin top if you don’t have a washboard flat stomach, because they cause your tummy to spill over your waste band. To avoid this, look for mid-rise styles that aren’t too high or too low. Say no to plumber’s crack. If you can pull off low rise jeans, avoid looking like the local plumber by avoiding jeans made out of stretch denim, like denim leggings. While they are form flattering, they are also stretchy – and stretch in the wrong spots when you bend over. Plus, stretch denim loses its elasticity over time, and stops looking good. 

Rule #2: Choose the right size and color.Just because you can get into them, doesn’t mean they fit. Choose jeans for curvy women based on how comfortably you can walk and sit in them. Also, make sure they don’t make you feel like you might burst out of them at any minute. Avoid distressed looks. Streaks and bleaching can draw attention to wide hips, so go for solid colors or jeans that are distressed all over, rather than in patches or stripes. 

So now that you know how to find jeans that fit well, what styles look best on curvy women? Well, that depends on your curves. Let’s look at the best styles for the two most common types of curvy bodies – hourglass and triangle shapes – starting with the hourglass figure.

For women with an hourglass shape, their bust and hips are proportionally shaped, and their waist is well defined. If their stomach is also flat, then women with this body shape can get away with any style of jean, as long as it fits well. See the tips for proper fitting above. If a woman with an hourglass shape also has a tummy that bulges just a bit, then mid rise jeans that fit well are a better choice. And leg style is fine, as are embellishments.

If you have a triangle or pear shaped body, then bootcut and straight leg styles are best. Bootcut jeans balance out wide hips, and straight leg jeans elongate the legs. Avoid skinny, tapered jeans, which call attention to wide hips. Also, avoid jeans with back flap pockets and embellished backsides, again because they call attention to the wrong spots.

There are a few jean makers out there that are designing jeans for curvy women. Some are doing a great job of making flattering styles for women with curves, while others are just trying to cash in this niche market. So by all means give these brands a try, but stick with the rules you’ve learned here to find the perfect jeans for curvy women.
