Jeans are a staple fashion item. You can style them up and wear them any way you want. The key to having the perfect jeans is knowing the style that complements your body type. Here are some pointers in finding the perfect jeans.

Different Body types

Long Torso

A girl with long torso would look best in high-waisted and natural rise jeans.
To achieve an even leaner look, wear your jeans with a nice pair of heels.

Short Torso

A woman with short torso should wear low-rise and slim cut jeans. This would create an illusion of a longer torso.
You should also avoid high-waisted styles, as this will only make your upper body look shorter.

Long Legs

Skinny jeans surely look good on girls with long legs.
You may also wear high-waisted cuts.
Choose wide-leg jeans for a balanced look.
Flared cuts also look good on long legged women.

Thick Waists

Avoid wearing fitted jeans if you have a thick waist.
Don’t draw attention to this body part by wearing high-waisted jeans.
Find something that fits just below your waist.
You may also want to avoid wearing a belt as this might emphasize the area more.

Full Figure

Get flared or bootcut jeans to elongate your legs.
Avoid low-rise jeans so as not to give emphasis on your upper body.
Buy jeans that fit just below your waist.

Petite

Women with small stature looks best in bootcut or semi flared jeans.
You may also wear skinny and low-rise cuts to achieve a longer torso effect.

Boyish Build

Skinny jeans are best for women with a boyish build. They make their legs look slimmer and longer.

Different Types of Jeans

If you’re still unsure of what to buy, listed below are some more different styles of jeans.

Straight Cut

This style creates the effect of longer legs.
The measurement from the thigh to the bottom is the same.
Wearing this kind of jeans would make you appear taller.

Flare Cut

This style has a wider base.
If you have broad shoulders and narrow hips, this cut would look great on you.

Wide Leg Cut

If you have problems with hip and thigh proportions, this cut will best fit you.
A wide leg cut balances your hips and thighs.

Trying Out Different Jeans

When you know the kind of style you want to buy, the next thing to do is to shop for one.

Go to a store that you’re comfortable in. It might take some time before you can find the perfect jeans. It’s important to be in a place where you feel the most relaxed. Choose a shop that has a friendly and helpful sales team.
Gather a few jeans that you want to try and bring them all in the dressing room. This will make fitting them easier for you, so you don’t have to go out again when you want to try another pair. Ask a member of the sales team for the number of items you can bring with you into the dressing room. Some stores only allow you to bring 3 items at a time.
Try the jeans on. This doesn’t only mean checking if the jeans fit you. Try to walk a few steps, jump or sit. You shouldn’t feel uncomfortable when doing these simple things with the jeans on.
Consider the price. Finding the perfect jeans doesn’t always come with a high price. Find something that fits your budget.

Don’t be a fashion victim by wearing clothes that don’t look good on you. Find the perfect jeans that complement your body type.
