You know I am a huge fan of jeans--how versitle they are, such a blank
but hot canvas for you to create a fabulous outfi. The problem is so
many ladies don't know the right jeans for their body type, which makes
it hard for them to pull off the rest of their outfit!

The following are a few tips to help send you in the right direction:
- When you have a
little extra love in the stomach area it is hard to find the right pair
of jeans. If they are too high-rise you look squeezed into them and if
they are too lowrise you have that horrid overhang. You need a pair
that sits nicely on your HIPS.
- Even just
five years ago finding jeans that were long enough for tall or
long-legged women was hard! Then it got to the point where you could
find them online but it was a pain to send them back if they didn't
work. Finally stores have a great selection of jeans that are long
enough so you don't look as if you've grown out of your clothes! You
can find pairs that have LONGER INSEAMS. Jeans really should hit the
mid part of your foot to look fabulous.
- If you
are looking to create the illusion you actually have a "rear" then this
tip is for you! When you DON'T wear the right type of jeans you look
baggy and frumpy in the behind and is is so unflattering! You need
HIGHER DETAILED POCKETS. These are SO easy to find! Hit up Nordstrom
and the Buckle for starters. It will create the illusion that you do in
fact have a cute rear!
- One of
the most common body types for us mothers is the pear shape. It can
create a "gaping waist" problem when you have on the wrong pair of
jeans. Do not, I repeat, DO NOT let us see you in tapered jeans; they
make the problem so much worse! Buy yourself a trouser style, boot-cut
style or even flare (but don't go crazy) style. This will give you a
sexy hourglass figure.
- Finally,
the issue most personal for me: how to find jeans for petite ladies. We
are always swimming in the pant length, and to be honest the stores
that do carry petite styles are often not as cute as the other half of
the store and the selection is seriously lacking. So, ladies...find a
pair of jeans you love in every other aspect, suck it up and GET THEM
TAILORED. We also look hot in slim-fitting boot cut jeans!
