Women's Jeans

Fads come and go, but jeans have managed to stay put in our closets for quite some time. They can be dressed up or down, and they come in so many styles, cuts, and colors that it can actually be quite difficult to pick out the perfect pair of jeans. The price tags attached to these jeans also vary greatly with pricier onces usually made with higher quality denim and expensive embelishments. So how do you know which pair of jeans is right for you? It really depends on a couple of things such as body type, fit, and lifestyle. Follow this guide to see all the different styles available for you out there, and take note of our pointers to find the best fit for you.

Cost

When it comes to what you're willing to pay for your jeans, keep in mind that the price range is pretty wide. Jean prices can be as cheap as $20 or go well into the hundreds of dollars for designer labels. Up to a certain point, you are getting your money's worth in terms of denim quality and durability. However, keep in mind that after a certain point, you're probably paying more for the label than anything else.

What Size?

No matter what the current trend may be, the hippest pair of jeans won't look good on you if they don't fit. And like all articles of clothing, sizes can vary greatly from designer to designer, which is why it is important to try on jeans if possible. If you're planning on purchasing jeans online, make sure you're familiar with the brand and size differences. Also, keep in mind that many jeans do shrink after washing (100% cotton jeans shrink approximately 2-3 inches), and that some also expand over time, which is why it's important to never tailor your trousers before you wash them at least once.

Jeans should fit snugly between the inseam and waist. Too loose or too tight means you'll end up looking messy, so if you're having trouble, try looking for jeans with a little bit of spandex. Also, keep note of which brands have worked for you in the past. Usually the fit of denim lines stays constant so that you can rely on their jeans again.

Body Type

Here are some basic guidelines on what kind of jeans look best for your specific body type:

  • Slim -- Flares and low rises will give you more shape and also show off your lean silhouette. Smaller pockets or pockets with flaps will also create the illusion of a fuller behind.
    • Avoid: Jeans with no pockets.
  • Curvy -- Flares and bootlegs show off your curves. The width of your leg openings combined should be the same as the width of your waist, creating balance.
    • Avoid: Jeans with side pockets. Also, stay away from any distressing around your hips or thighs, as they will draw attention to those areas.
  • Athletic -- Low rises and contoured waists, skinny legs make your hips wider and flared legs make you look curvier. High waisted jeans with a belt will help to accentuate your waist.
    • Avoid: Baggy jeans.
  • Full Figure -- Dark washes, bootcuts, and 2% stretch denim will slim, curve, and accentuate your assets. Flare jeans could also help to balance out your hips.
    • Avoid: Heavy embelishments on pockets if you have a bigger behind.
  • Short -- Get your jeans hemmed and buy jeans with dark washes that will slim and elongate your legs. Wearing bootcut jeans with heels will also give you height and the illusion of longer legs.
    • Avoid: Rolling or cuffing your jeans. Also try to stay away from cropped jeans, which have a tendency to make your legs look even shorter.
  • Long -- Find a brand that works and stick with it. Try skinny jeans or jeans with darker washes if you want to make your legs look even longer.
    • Avoid: Jeans that are too short. Make sure that your hem reaches your heel.
