Jeans for DIAMOND Body Type

If you aren't sure if this is your body type, visit: Identify Your Body Type to find out. This is part of a series for finding the right jeans for your body type compliments of http://www.jeans-and-accessories.com/, which is the source of my information.



Goal:
Your goal is to elongate, while detracting attention from your waist and placing some emphasis on your bust and shoulders.


Do's:
  • A boot cut fit with some stretch is your best bet, and is usually a staple cut of most womens designer jeans
  • Opt for a relaxed fit
  • Use dark denim and pair them with dark high heels and dark tops
  • Try to find a pair in which the outseam is brought further to the front (This gives the illusion of a thinner thighs)
  • Look for pockets that sit higher as they will make your legs appear to be longer
  • Look for larger pockets for they will make your butt appear smaller
  • Allow hem to reach the ground when wearing jeans with high heels
  • Same color on shoes, socks and jeans will make your legs look longer
  • If you are slightly short waisted, a slightly low rise cut will help make your torso look longer

Don'ts:

  • Avoid tapered or ultra-tapered legs, as they call attention to the hips
  • Avoid capris, as they re-enforce the diamond shape
  • Avoid cuts that will rise above your natural waist
  • Avoid Small pockets as they may make your rear end look larger
  • Avoid washed out areas in rear and thighs
  • Avoid embellishments in rear pockets as they attract attention to that area
  • Find a fit that contours, not hugs your body
  • Avoid saggy or baggy cuts as well as excess fabric in the rear, this is what womens designer jeans do best
  • Remember, designer blue jeans are all about making your rear end look good!

Accessories:

  • Shoulder pads are a must
  • Attract attention to your neck with necklaces, scarves
  • Avoid thick belts (especially if you have no waist)
  • Tops should be fitted over the bust and spread over hip area
  • Never wear a jacket that ends at the butt
