I had 3 babies, there’s no hiding the tummy I still have that will stick with me for life. I also admit that my tummy does one-up my rear-end that is non-existant. Needless to say, finding jeans for my body shape is tough. Here are some tips from Lee Jeans trend expert regarding how to find the best fit for your body type. With fall fashion now in full swing, it’s more important than ever to find that perfect pair of jeans—Lee knows how stressful in can be, which is why they’ve gathered some awesome pointers below.
Here are tips for the four main body shapes:
o Pear: This shape should look for a slight curve at the top of the jean because this will prevent a gapping waistband while also allowing for room in the hips. A mid-rise jean with a lot of stretch also flatters a pear shape, as well as clean dark washes and a boot cut. Lee’s Slender Secret line offers many options for this woman, including the Slender Secret Bailey Flap-Pocket Bootcut Jean in Destination.
o Apple: The apple-shaped woman should look for a jean with plenty of room in the waist and less fabric in the thighs and legs. Stretchy denim will work well, but these women should be sure to pick a quality jean that won’t stretch out throughout the day. As for washes and back pockets, this shape should avoid hand sanding or whiskers on thighs and instead go with an overall darker wash, but should dismiss the advice to choose plain back pockets because minimal detail can actually work to their advantage. The Lee Comfort Waist line provides great solutions for apple shapes, such as the Milan Straight Leg Jean in Caspian.
o Hour Glass: The hour glass figure is actually either an apple or pear shape. If the hour glass woman’s thighs are bigger than her hips, she should follow the pear shape recommendations. Conversely, if her shape starts to round out just below the smallest part of her waist, she should follow the apple shape suggestions. To highlight the hour glass woman’s natural curves, a slim fitting jean from the new Lee Classic Fit line is a perfect option, especially the Nell Skinny Bootcut Jean in Indigo Shine.
o Boyish: This figure should look for a jean that adds a curvy, feminine shape, such as the trendy flare leg or boot cut. Even a slim straight fit can help create a flirty feminine look—just loosely roll the bottoms of a skinny straight jean and add heels. Boyish figures can also turn to hand sanding and whiskers to create some shape on top, as can an interesting back pocket design. The Lee Slender Secret flap pockets jeans serve as great choices for this woman, particularly the Keller Bootcut Jean in Charcoal.
I love the Keller Bootcut Jeans, the pants are stylish and with the decorated flap pocket, it adds a little oomph where my behind should be!! Where do you fit in? Visit Lee’s Women’s department and start shopping for your fit today, http://www.lee.com/store/LEE_STORE_US/en_US/category/women.html!
