Jeans for FULL ROUNDED 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:
To take focus away from the hip, thigh and bottom area. Elongate, do not cut in half.

Do's:

• Boot-cut jeans give a long and lean look, which is flattering to most women
• Darker color womens designer jeans
• Look for pants that fit your waist and are relaxed in the hip and thigh areas without adding bulk
• Look for jeans with the seam closer to front, this gives the impression of thinner thighs
• Try medium to high rise, but stay at least one inch below your belly button
• Wide waistbands can be very helpful in holding back your belly
• Look for styles that contour, and soften your outline
• Diagonal front pockets also have a slimming effect
• Look for large loosely spaced pockets
• Monochromatic dressing should add to the slimming effect

Don'ts:

• Pleats widen the look of hips and thighs, so avoid them
• Avoid womens designer jeans that are tapered or ultra-tapered legs, as they call attention to the hips and thighs
• I shouldn't have to even mention capris
• Avoid saggy or baggy pants, especially in the rear end
• Never use cuffs
• Avoid jeans with small pockets.
• Avoid jeans that are tight in the knees
• Avoid distressed jeans with faded bottoms and thighs no matter how fashionable
• Avoid styles that hug your body.
• Don’t wear belts too tight
• Avoid high waisted womens designer jeans, they will make your butt look huge
• No "whiskers" in the front, they will make your hips look wider

Accessories:

• Tops should emphasize long-line (Never wear a jacket that end at the butt)
• No cropped tops
• V necklines
• Jackets should be slightly fitted, shaped
• Handbags should be at hip level, preferably lower
• Attract attention to your neck and bust
• Avoid fitted tops and wide lapels
• Avoid a contrasting hip line (different color belt)
• Use narrow belts, same color as your top to elongate the torso,or same color as your pants, to elongate the lower body
• Avoid wide collars and lapels
• Use small scale patterns on tops, avoid animal and large prints
• Avoid horizontal features, emphasize verticality
• Use light accessories and details
