With so many jeans on the market, it’s essential to do your assignment and get the right pair for your body type. It doesn’t matter if you’re getting designer jeans or not, the key to fabulosity is knowing your fit and strutting it right!
1. Get the right cut of jeans:
Hourglass. Don’t hide…
Go ahead and show your figure! A pair of lower-riding, slim fit, straight jeans is a great way of accentuating those curves while still looking natural.
Full Curves. Easily handled…
Get a pair of slim fit, boot-cut jeans. To really bring out your body’s pizzazz, get a darker wash.
Short Legs. No Capris please…
Elongate your legs and accentuate you figure in full-length, skinny jeans with crosshatch fabric – steer away from the stretch denim.

I have these Mango jeans I found in HongKong last year. It’s my absolute favorite. And then I went to Macau last month and went to Mango (Venetian) to buy jeans. Funny, I bought the exact same pair. LOL! So, now I have 2 perfect pairs of jeans!
I like that you included all sizes. Great post!

[...] 5 Steps to Buying Perfect Jeans… [...]
This is a perfect topic for me. I have been dying to buy a perfect pair of jeans. I have tried almost 50-60 different pairs of jeans in last 2-3 weeks period. None of them fit me right. So, out of curiosity, I tried the girls’ jeans. Size 16, not so right, then size 14…perfect, yes.yes.yes. It was perfect fit, right fabric and style. I am 5′2″, 105 lbs. 49 yrs old, had two kids, so needed to hide my belly. The waist comes up to the belly button. The PERFECT FIT. Also I loved their sweater, sweats selections.
Hard as nail indeed… Almost frustating! Sometimes the perfect one comes unexpectedly like a pair of low waistes – semi boot cut from MOOKS – a street wear or so brand from Australia I’ve found on sale in Bali :) Anyway, ♥ to hear that low-waisted and boot cut is still one of the best so I could tell that to my daughter who keep on saying that skinny jeans is the best…hah! ;)
I always have wide hips, round ass and I find it always nice to see myself wearing tight jeans but most of the time I like to wear loose cause its more comfortable. any advice on this issue?

I hate that most jeans size 12 + are either relaxed fit or straight leg! I’m a size 14 because of my hips, but I’m 5′7 and 145 lbs….I’m pretty fit and my thighs aren’t in proportion to my hips. I can NEVER find jeans that aren’t baggy in the legs because I can’t seem to find ANY jeans over a size 12 that don’t add inches of extra fabric in the thighs!! It drives me absolutely INSANE. I don’t WANT relaxed fit or straight legs jeans…….or to look like I’m swimming in my pants, I want to show off my curves in a pair of jeans that FITS all of my proportions…..what gives?! :(
to Nikki:
Hmm, I am afraid you might want to get a pair of leggings instead – they’ll show off you curves and you’ll look like a very “it” girl. Now they have leggings of various colors, you can get dark blue that will totally look like skinny denim jeans…
Just a thought.
PS: if you still want a pair of jeans, you might consider buying a pair that fits you in the hips and have the rest taken in. But you’ve got to find a person who’s really good at it, otherwise, they’ll just ruin your brand new jeans.
great tips! there was an interesting article in marie claire about finding the perfect jeans for a plus size shape. it was part of the big girl in a skinny world column written by intern Ashley Falcon. so much truth in that and her pointers were great just as these are! and I’m glad you emphasized right size because whether you’re a 2 or a 14 a muffin top is never a pleasing sight :)
Hey Theo,
i remember reading a clipping from that article online. It does seem to be quite interesting. Though never got to read the full article.. and yeah a muffin top is just such a no-no!
