How to Find Jeans for Your Body Shape

If there is one thing I hate shopping for it's jeans. I can never find the perfect jeans they're always the thing I dread going shopping for and even after trying on about a million pairs, I still leave the shops with no jeans having not found the right pair. In this post I am going to write about how to find jeans to suit your body shape and hopefully this will help others in a similar situation as me.

I am starting of with the pear shape. Usually pear shaped people are bigger on their bottom half and smaller on their top half. Bootcut is a good style for pear shapes. Also I would recommend not going for white or bright coloured jeans as pear shapes should keep lighter colours on top and darker colours on the bottom.  Go for a darker wash jeans. This will bring attention to your upper half and will even out your shape.

Next is the apple shape. If you are an apple shape, chances are you are bigger on top and have slimmer legs. I suggest flared jeans or jeans with a wider leg as this will balance out your shape. You don't want to wear jeans that make you look really big on the top and really small on the bottom. Apple shapes should avoid skinny jeans.

Petite girls should beware of boyfriend jeans or any jeans that have a cropped leg, because chances are (if you are a petite girl) you will be a that little bit shorter. By wearing cropped/boyfriend jeans this will make your legs appear even shorter. Bootcut jeans can help create some volume/curves and will add to your height.

Cropped jeans are a no-no

Hourglass shapes usually have bigger hips, so I would avoid low rise jeans as this will make your hips appear bigger. Hourglass shapes should choose high waisted jeans or atleast jeans that come to your belly-button. If you are a curvier hourglass shape, bootcut jeans are a good style for you and will lengthen your legs.

And last but not least is the boyish shape. Boyish shapes are in luck as you can wear almost any jean style! But flared trousers will give the illusion of a curvier body and will give you more volume. Again you are very lucky as the boyish shape can wear skinny jeans and low rise jeans and pull it off!

I hope that this will help you find your perfect pair of jeans, whatever your shape!

Until next time...
