The Best Jeans for Your Body Type

My blue skinny jeans from Kohl's Apt. 9

Do you like to wear denim curvy diva?  I don't mind wearing denim, but for me it is not my go-to item to wear. However, when I do where my denim, it's because I'm in the mood to, and it's especially when I'm feeling toned and confident.

This is a look I wore to the office, dark blue jeans from Old Navy

Denims are a great item to have in your closet no matter what, and every girl should own at least two pairs. Why at least two pairs? Well my dear curvy divas, one pair for dolling up and going out on the town, or to wear to the office; which means it should be a dark color, whether dark navy blue or black; and the second pair for fun, and casual wear, and you won't mind sitting in the grass for a picnic, which can be a light blue; stone-washed, or any other shade in-between! That said, I own about six pairs...maybe more!lol!

This is the full look that day, worn with jean jacket and a colorful scarf

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 found some great tips from Petra Flannery on Modelprenuer (yes I made up that word because she's a business mogul, model-spokesperson-entertainment guru.....) Heidi Klum's website at www.heidiklum.aol.com:

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

The tips I learned from this article were: 

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.

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.

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.

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.

Low-rise jeans is a good choice for women who are considered to be short-waisted, and even petites.

So, there you have it, I believe these are some great tips to take with you on your next shopping excursion for that great pair of jeans.  Click on the photo above, or go to the article link here.
