Jeans

    Ahhh jeans.......the most painful thing to go shopping for. Finding the perfect pair is difficult, but not impossible. Trying on jeans takes a long time, and it is uncommon to find a pair that fits in the first few tries. I try on a BAZILLION pairs of jeans before I find the right ones for me. Jeans are probably the most important thing anyone could have in their wardrobe. It is a comfortable way to look faboulous, they can be dressed up, but they can also be a quick casual look, just to run errands. Hopefully, these tips will make jean shopping painless.
     Dark wash jeans are the most universally flattering wash. The dark wash doesn't draw to much attention to the lower half, this make you look thinner and draws the eye up, so you look taller too! The lighter washes on the hips, thighs, and  butt makes you appear wider.
     Let's talk pockets. I am putting the pattern on my pockets makes my butt look big myth to rest. The patterns on your pockets do not make your butt look bigger, the shape, proportion, and placement of the pocket is what jean shoppers need to look out for. Make sure the pockets are centered on the bum. Not too high, not too low, and not to far off to the side.
     The fit is essential. Please, please, please, please, PLEASE, dont try to wear jeans that are too tight. Fitted and tight are to very different things! Don't confuse them!! Size doesn't matter, just wear what looks good on you. That goes the other way too, jeans that are too baggy are as equally unflattering and jeans that are too tight. 
     The MOST flattering jeans on the planet are narrow through the thigh and flare out at the knee. It slims the leg and legnthens the leg line. So, you end up looking a size smaller and a gazillion times taller.
     Keep in mind that if the pants are too long, getting them hemmed is a quick fix. Speaking of length make sure the jean comes to the bottom of the heel, just about to graze the ground, but not quite.
     Those are, what I think, the most important things to know about buying jeans! Keep these tips in mind and jean shopping will be a breeze.

     That is a pair of my favorite jeans!!!! They are Gap, long and leans ($54.99) BTW that is a bit expensive, you can find jeans on clearence for half that.
