September 8, 2010

No matter the month or season, denim is guaranteed to appear on the catwalk and on the high street. It is vital that we wear the right jeans for our body shape, so ladies, read on to discover the best jeans for you. You will also discover some handy tips about what to wear with your denim friends to keep you looking on top form this Autumn.

Apple Shape: Wear straight leg or slightly bootcut. These will lengthen legs and your overall silhouette.

Wear With: Heels will make your legs look longer and slimmer. Add a belt to cinch in your waist.

Fuller Figure: Keep the wash dark and the length long. Opt for wide leg styles, the fabric will skim over any lumps and bumps which will prove flattering.

Wear With: These are great day and night jeans, so change trainers and t shirts for a pair of heels, a silk camisole and tailored blazer.

Pear or Hourglass: Give balance to your curves. The best jeans for this figure are bootcut or flared. A slightly higher waist and flared leg will make the shortest of legs look long & luscious.

Wear With: Tuck in a blouse, grab a skinny belt and shrug on a cropped cardigan, it’s guaranteed to accentuate your curves. Choose a nude colour to keep on trend with this seasons look.

Petite: Straight and skinny work best on this body shape, while a lighter colour wash will lengthen legs. Embellishment on the back pockets will give the illusion of a fuller derrière.

Wear With: Brown leather boots and a fitted tweed jacket to celebrate this season’s equestrian trend. If that doesn’t suit you, try some flat black boots and a slogan t-shirt to rock the grunge look.

I hope these helpful tips will be of some use to you. Jeans are such an important part of any wardrobe that it’s essential we get it right!!
