Goal:
To enhance your upper body and detract attention from your bottom. Within reasonable limits, to mold your hips and rear end with well cut designer's jeans.
Do's:
- Boot-cut and flared legs give a long and lean look, but the gentler flare of the bootcut will serve you better
- Womens designer jeans in stretch fabrics will make any fit more comfortable
- Look for dark washes
- As obvious as this may sound, it is especially important for women with a tummy: buy jeans that are the right size! You do not want to have a “belly spill over”
- Try to find a pair in which the outseam is brought further to the front. This gives the illusion of a thinner thighs
- Avoid pockets that sit too low, near the beginning of the butt, as they will shorten the look of your legs
- Avoid excess fabric in the rear-end area
- Low rise jeans can help make your rear end appear shorter and your torso longer
Don'ts:
- Pleats widen the look of hips and thighs
- Avoid small pockets in rear, as well as pocket-less jeans and pockets placed too wide apart
- Avoid tight jeans, especially those that are tight at the knees
- Avoid bundling fabrics at waist
- Avoid horizontal detailing at hip level, such as contrasting pockets
- Even if this is the rage in womens designer jeans, avoid washes in the back pocket area, as well as any embellishment
- Don't even consider capris (nobody should)
Accessories:
- Look for Flowing fabrics and blouses with a lot of detailing
- Long jackets, never to the hip
- Semi fitted or Tailored tops
- Jackets should end below the hips
- Shoulder pads
- Loose or dropped belts
- Keep handbags above hip level
- Look for cowl necks and square necklines
- Use belt the color of your blouse, narrow and draped
- Dark colors on bottom and bright colors on top
