The average woman has eight pairs of jeans, but only wears two regularly. This shows how hard it can be to find jeans that fit, flatter and suit the rest of your wardrobe. I-m guilty of buying jeans I-ve only worn once. Whether they dig in, gape, or fall down when I walk, something won-t be quite right. Finding perfect jeans is a matter of trial and error. You don-t always have to spend a fortune - some of the best jeans I-ve had were the cheapest.
Check out Today Tonight's exclusive on the new style of jeans that slim AND lift!
Best&Less usually carry a few different styles and I-ve found they-re a great fit for my shape. They-re cut to allow for tummies but the legs aren-t too baggy, plus they carry sizes up to 26.
Target is another gem, and you-ll find casual and maternity jeans at Big W. For glam styles, try City Chic and for classic, go- anywhere jeans check out Dream Diva. Here are some tips for finding a great pair of jeans. Bootleg jeans suit fuller figures.The flared leg balances wider hips, and a higher rise waist smooths over lumps and bumps. If you are bigger, avoid hipster jeans as they can dig into your hips and give you the dreaded muffin top.
Look for slight fading down the legs of the jeans. The two tones, rather than a block colour, create a slimming effect. Check your rear view!Pocket placement is important. Curvy girls should go for big back pockets, set low and wide, to make the derrière look smaller. Small, higher-up pockets create a round, perky-looking behind.
Straight-leg jeans are often overlooked, but can be really flattering. This is a great style for petites, but bigger girls look good in them too. Straight-leg jeans with ballet flats and a pretty top is an easy everyday outfit. Wide-leg jeans are comfortable and versatile.Turn them up at the bottom and wear with a baggy cardie for the 'boyfriend' look, or team with trainers and a jumper for weekends.
Fit Avoid jeans that are too tight or uncomfortable, but also consider whether they-ll stretch too much after a few wears. Ask the sales assistant for advice. You may need to go down a size.
