How to choose jeans

What do you pay attention to when choosing jeans first of all? Some people think it's important to follow trends, others carefully choose the color of their jeans so that they fit into an already assembled wardrobe. All this, of course, is important, but we must not forget that the main thing is to choose a model that will “sit down” on the figure, and not just look stylish on its own.

In fact, there is nothing difficult in choosing good jeans that will smooth out minor figure flaws and emphasize its obvious advantages. Jeans are divided into straight, skinny and flared. Already on their basis, other original models are created.

Not all jeans fit equally well on different figures. So, for example, low-rise jeans, passing the waist, will create ugly folds in the abdomen, and baggy pants will make the hips more voluminous. In order to avoid such fashionable mistakes, let's look at the main body types and which jeans are best for their owners.

The very first type of figure is the “apple”. It differs in that the upper body is visually larger than the lower.

Also take a look at the free-cut models. A prime example is boyfriends.But any other loose jeans that do not fit the legs will do. These recommendations apply to slender girls with a boyish figure. Straight jeans with a loose cut, despite their unfeminine name, will make your figure more proportional.

The second type of figure is the pear. It is not difficult to determine the owner of such a figure: small breasts, a thin waist and lush hips.

However, as they say, "if you really want, then you can." Girls with curvy shapes can combine skinny with a loose top or, for example, a cardigan that reaches the middle of the thigh and hides problem areas.

Girls with a pear-shaped figure will fit jeans made of dark fabric with a medium fit, which will visually reduce the volume of the hips and priests. As for the cut, it is better to choose jeans that are looser, but by no means baggy. Also, if you have large buttocks, it is better to wear jeans with a minimal amount of decoration on the back pockets. If your buttocks are flat and you would like to visually enlarge them, buy jeans with voluminous pockets, large stickers and an abundance of decor in this area.

Owners of an hourglass figure are the luckiest. Firstly, because such a figure is considered the standard of female beauty. And secondly, due to the fact that girls with a thin waist and proportional breasts and hips, any jeans will do.

If you have this type of figure, you can safely wear everything: straight jeans, wide, flared or skinny. Stylists advise this season to look at high-waisted jeans.They will emphasize your smooth curves, and if necessary, hide a small tummy, making the figure perfect.

This is how the basic rules for choosing jeans by type of figure look like. Well, to make sure that you have made the right choice is very simple - when trying on, you will feel that they fit you in size, do not dig into the skin and do not restrict movement.

We've already talked about how ill-fitting jeans can ruin your look. Now let's determine which type of landing should be chosen in order to achieve the opposite effect.

The fit of the jeans is the level at which the waistband of the pants is located. It can be medium, low and high. With a high fit, the belt is in the middle of the waist, with a low fit, it rests on the hips, and the middle one is the transition between these two extremes. So how not to make a mistake when choosing the ideal belt height?

High-rise jeans were originally designed for riders. Since they are constantly in a sitting position, while moving to the beat of the horse's gallop, it was important that the pants did not slip and did not expose the body during the races. Later, this style came into fashion and is now actively regaining popularity among women after almost two decades of oblivion.

To wear high-rise jeans, you need to be the owner of a thin waist. Otherwise, the pants will only emphasize the flaws of the figure, since in such a model the entire emphasis is shifted to the top of the jeans. High-rise jeans are not suitable for full girls either, although if you have a good figure with minor flaws, they will correct them.

Mid-rise jeans are the most versatile. They are suitable for any clothes and any type of figure.That is why most designers prefer this neutral fit.

But a low landing is something that most girls should avoid. The belt of low-rise pants is located in the hips, so if you have problems with your figure in the abdomen, then in such jeans they will become doubly noticeable. In addition, it is almost impossible to actively move and sit in them without showing everyone around your underwear and body.

In order to almost accurately select jeans of your size, you need to measure the length of one of the legs, the width of the jeans at the hips, the knee and waist areas, as well as the height of the fit. To understand whether jeans fit you or not, the width of the trousers in the belt is enough.

You can measure this parameter even at home using a centimeter. You can measure either the entire belt, or one of the sides, and then multiply the resulting figure by two. On jeans, this value is indicated by the English letter W (from the English “waist”, which translates as “waist”). Next to this letter is the size (usually in inches) of the belt. For example, W 34 means that the size of the belt is 34 inches (and one inch is 2.54 cm).

However, this figure is not always accurate. This is due to the fact that some jeans are conceived as tighter to the body, others as looser. But when worn, the material stretches. But jeans still fit, overcoming a slight difference of 1-1.5 inches.In any case, you can always fix the jeans with a belt.

But such size designations are used only by companies that specialize in the production of jeans. Much more often you can find standard European (S, L, XL) or American (42, 44, 50) sizes. It is not difficult to navigate them, especially if you have previously worn jeans with similar size designations. And if not, you can always use the size chart.

The length of the legs plays no less important role in choosing jeans than their width in the belt. This parameter is measured from the inguinal seam and directly to the very edge of the leg. On the tag, the length of jeans is indicated by the letter L. A special note is also put on the labels if they are intended for very tall girls.

After all, under a heel or a thick sole, you need to add a few extra centimeters to the length indicated on the label so that the legs cover the shoes a little. It is believed that the most correct option is when the jeans reach the middle of the heel of your shoes or boots.

For tall girls, in order not to miscalculate, you can buy pants with a raw bottom. You can customize them at home. A bow with rolled-up jeans, combined with light ballet flats or stylish sneakers, will look stylish.

But short girls with the choice of the desired length have more problems. They should take into account that cropped trousers and rolled-up jeans will visually make them even lower, if you do not complement the look with high-heeled shoes. It is also believed that too tight skinny also draws attention to short stature.Therefore, jeans that fit exactly on the figure are ideal for short girls.

When discussing how to choose the most suitable jeans, one cannot ignore the issue of quality. Jeans made of good material will not shed, stretch and wear out quickly. But how can you determine that it is high-quality jeans in front of you, and not a cheap fake made of stretch, which will lose its presentation at the first wash?

Now you know exactly how to find your own, ideally suited for you, among the huge number of produced jeans. Find such a model, you will be surprised at how easy it is to create new stylish looks based on them, and also how versatile such an everyday thing as jeans can be!
