Shopping for jeans is all about YOU… Well, your body shape at least.
Often we browse stores or online shops and see jeans that are bang on trend i.e. you’ve seen your favourite blogger wearing them, take them into the dressing room or order them and have them delivered only to find out they don’t look the way you imagined they would.
Ladies, am I right? It doesn’t have to be this way though. Let’s take it back a few steps. Not every style or fashion trend is going to suit you, and that’s okay. There really is a perfectly fitting pair of jeans for everyone whatever your shape, size and preferred style – it’s all about finding the one you’re most comfortable in.
Let’s talk shapes for a minute.
The Skinny Jeans
– Hugs your curves (that’s right, you don’t have to be dead skinny to wear The Skinny – if you’ve got it, flaunt it!)
– Usually a softer denim for a comfortable fit
– Tight fit all down the leg. The best part about this is that it tucks into your winter booties so perfectly.
Skinny jeans have fast become a wardrobe staple for anyone who loves denim, pair yours with a loose fitting top to balance out the skinny leg. The super-soft fabric with shape enhancing stretch, hugs your curves like we’ve mentioned before and lengthens your legs. These jeans that are smart enough for work, comfortable enough for the weekend and ideal for a night out. Choose your signature style from ripped to embellished, black to classic blue denim. Wear with heeled boots and a biker jacket for effortless day to night style.
The High Rise Jeans
– Holds in your tummy (not that any one should ever be making you feel like you need to be hiding it!)
– Fitted at the waist to create definition
– Tight fit all down the leg
High rise jeans are often more flattering than their low rise counterparts as they are fitted to your waist rather than your hips so they create a smooth silhouette. Show off your waist by tucking your top into your high waisted jeans or wear a crop top that just about meets at the waist.
The Slim Leg Jeans
– Comfortable fit on the hips
– Relaxed slim fit on the leg
– Shaped to your leg for a flattering fit
Slim jeans are making a comeback, prefect for those who love the flattering fit of skinny jeans but want a more comfortable jean style; wear yours with pointed flats for a chic modern look.
The Bootcut Jeans
– Slim fit on the hip and thigh
– Flares slightly from the knee
– Slimming and leg-lengthening
Bootcut jeans have been a style staple for years with their timeless flattering shape. The slim fit on hips and thighs creates the perfect balance for the flare to make your legs look slimmer whilst also lengthening your leg. Talk about a a win-win! For a real 70’s vibe try kick flare jeans to make a real statement.
The Boyfriend Jeans
– Relaxed loose fit through the leg
– Classic mid-rise
– Comfortable fit
The loose fitting style of boyfriend jeans makes them one of the most comfortable jeans around, perfect for an off-duty causal style. Roll up the hems top expose your ankle for a relaxed look and pair with sneakers or slides. Well, now that it’s winter, you might want to trade those slides in for a comfy pair of studded ankle boots. Score extra style points for a distressed jean wash complete with rips.
Made for busy weekends and dress down Fridays, this jeans is honestly one of the most flattering for all. The rolled up hems deliver a laid back and effortless style. Choose from classic, embroidered or ripped.
The Straight Leg Jeans
– Narrow leg shape
– Classic leg cut
– Traditional mid-rise
Less fitted that slim or skinny jeans, straight leg jeans are a classic jean cut, cut the hems off to give yours a modern update. The straight leg jean fits snug to your thighs and continues straight from the knee to ankle. A classic leg fit flatters every shape and size. Wear with a basic tee for a relaxed fit or blazer for a more tailored finish.
The Jegging Jeans
– Comfortable fit with stretch
– Fly-front fastening like real jeans
– Usually high rise with an elasticated waist band
Supersoft & stretchy jeggings have been designed to look like real jeans complete with a fly-front fastening but with all the comfort and stretch of a legging. Style these as you would normally style your favourite jeans and no one will ever know you’re not wearing jeans (YAY for no pants!)
