We all want a pair of jeans that will flatter our figure and feel comfortable, but most of the time it be a difficult mission. Here is the ultimate guide to help you find the one to suit your body shape for all budgets.
• If you carry extra weight on your middle then look for a higher waistband (just under the belly button ) and wide legs or straight legs. Try: tummy tuck or Zerres jeans which are available at Marian's Boutique or Anthony Ryan’s; look also at A-wear and Topshop for wide legs or straight legs jeans in various shades.
• Show off an hourglass figure with jeans with a wide waistband and a lower waist. The legs cut can be boot cut or straight.
• A pear shape looks great with boot cut leg jeans with a higher waistband, or slightly low cut. Look for a dark shade and with minimum details.
• Skinny jeans will best suit women with average to slim build and good legs.
• High waisted jeans are great if you want to look taller. Try Karen Millen's high waisted jeans.
• Wearing your jeans with heels will always make you look taller, and wearing a dark shade will always take pounds of you.
• If you want to add shape to your bum and legs look for jeans with a low waist and shading on the thighs. Choose flap pockets at the front or back
• To make your bum look smaller, wear jeans in a darker shade with big pockets on each buttock.
