How to Pick the Right Jeans

The right jeans for you are just around the corner.

Picking the right jeans is absolutely essential for casual wear. The secret is to pick jeans that flatter your assets without being ostentatious. Skinny jeans are in fashion right now; that doesn't mean that they're for you. There may be a better fit for you somewhere. In that spirit, here's how to pick the right jeans.

Things You'll Need:

1. The right jeans mean the right color. Choose faded or solid.

   The first step to pick the right jeans is to get the color scheme you like. Faded colors are more casual; solid colors are classic fashion and can actually be worn to more formal events. If you have parts of your lower body you want to attract attention to, and other parts that you'd rather not, go faded. The light draws the eye to the assets, and the dark hides the flaws. For instance, fading right below the butt area is popular nowadays. It gives the impression of a smaller butt by drawing the eye down. Solid colors are for if you have legs that don't quit or a superior shape to your lower body.

2. Turn up the sexy on your jeans with your choice of backside pockets.

   After you get your color, you should notice the pockets. Big pockets, or pockets that stick out, as with more modern and urban jeans, draw attention to the butt, because they are trying to be sexy. If you have a great butt, you might consider Seven Jeans or something like that, which tend to be a little more bold with their back pockets.

3. Pick the right jeans by checking the knee and underside of your butt pockets.

   After you pick the right pockets on your jeans for your style, next is fit. You want your jeans to hug you these days. Loose is out. Jeans should feel like they are stretching comfortably when you walk a little bit. Remember good fashion is always a bit uncomfortable. Look for jeans that hug the underside of your butt just right and hug your calves without choking them. Even if you're getting a boot cut, you want to show the shape of your legs by the correct tailoring on the knee. Fading near the knee is popular precisely because it draws the eye there and makes the thigh look skinnier.

4. Your perfect jeans should fit with at least two outfits.

   After you get the right fit, the last step to pick the right jeans is to test them with your wardrobe. Ideally, you want to be able to mix and match your jeans with at least 2 outfits. Take a couple of tops, or try a couple on right there. If they look just as good with both of the tops on, you've got a winner. Good luck on picking your perfect pair of jeans!
