Jeans

Keep these tips in mind when looking for the perfect pair of jeans for your body type and pocketbook!

Fit:

• STRAIGHT LEG: Offers a more traditional look.
  
• BOOT CUT: Helps to balance a fuller upper half.
  
• SKINNY CUT: Creates or accentuates any curves
  
• TROUSER CUT: Offer a more formal look.

Style:

• LOW POCKETS: Good for rounder butts.
  
• FLAP POCKETS: Can add lift to flatter behinds.
  
• SMALL POCKETS: Great butt minimizer.

Size:

• Jeans should feel snug in the store. They will stretch.
  
• Don't forget about men's jeans! Sometimes they actually fit better.

Price:

The average price of a pair of premium denim jeans is $88.

YOU’LL PAY MORE FOR:

• hand sewn

Tip: Remember that the best time to buy jeans is in January and June. That's when even designer jeans go on sale!
