The 5 Tips You Need to Know Before Buying Your Next Pair of Jeans

Next to a bathing suit fitting,  or a bra fitting, finding the best pair of jeans for your body type can be quite stressful.  I've shared this information before but since our minds will be fashion-forwarding to Fall soon, why not re-share some great tips from Petra Flannery on Heidi Klum's website at www.heidiklum.aol.com:

The Best Jeans for your Body Type by Fashion Expert Petra Flannery

1. Skinny jeans are not for everyone. So true. But I also agree that you can find the right skinny jeans for you, just balance it out with the top you wear, and wear the look with confidence.
2. Bootcut legs, or flare leg jeans balances out your body.  It's great for someone with really skinny legs, according to the article.  For me personally, I do own a pair of bootcut, the legs are slightly flared, and tapers from a close-fit on top to slightly wider below the knees. Just find the right pair that fits your body.
3. High waisted jeans gives a better fit for those with muffin tops.  I do agree, and as the article recommends, it is better to wear one if you have really long legs and/or a tall torso, meaning if you're considered to be high-waisted.   This style would not be a good look for me.
4. If you don't like wearing skinny jeans, the straight-leg jeans can create that look for you.  It will be a fitted look but not a super-tight look.  A great idea for most women because it is more forgiving.  Plus I would recommend if you want to see how you would look in a skinny pair of jeans, trying a straight leg is a good way to go.
5. Low-rise jeans is a good choice for women who are considered to be short-waisted, and also petite-size women.
