Once considered strong pants for gold miners trying to strike gold in 1800's California, jeans have become a part of our lives.Dress them up or down they are great for many occasions it just depends what you pair them with.
Since there more than 150 year history they certainly have evolved. All new cuts, washes and styles begs the question, Which style of jeans looks best on me?
Bootleg- This is a great cut. Looks good on every body shape. They make everyone look leaner and longer. Great when worn with a higher heel. They tend to make a person look shorter when worn with flats.
Flare, Wide Leg- Once popular in the 70's, these are back. These jeans make someone look slimmer because they draw attention downward, to the flared leg. Best worn with fitted tops. Great for pear shapes (bigger butt and hips) because they help balance you out.
Skinny- These jeans have a great look but they are not easy to wear. Because they are so clingy they are best for boyish figures. They draw attention upward to your top half. If you are an apple shape (larger bust and stomach) try wearing them with loose tops to balance out your shape. If you are pear shape (larger butt and hips) trying wearing them with a longer top to cover your rump, they tend to accentuate larger hips.
Remember darker washes make you look longer and slimmer. But have fun in the summer and get a pair of white jeans or be really adventurous and rock a pair of color wash jeans like red or purple.
There are no perfect jeans. Try everything on and be patient. Eventually you will find a great pair of jeans!
