subject: 6 Tips On Picking The Perfect Pair Of Jeans For You [print this page] Every woman dreams of finding that perfect pair of jeans, but more often than not, shopping for them can be a chore or sometimes an absolute nightmare. Jeans just aren't as easy to fit as pretty dresses and snazzy heels after all.
There are just so many considerations to think about. Do they fit well? Are they the right colour? Will they shrink or expand in the wash? There's also the perennial worry that your jeans will make your butt, thighs or legs look flat, enormous or stumpy, in that order.
Enter Wrangler's newest denim innovation for women, the "Mould the Body range. Specifically designed to flatter women without scrimping on comfort, the "Mould the Body" range is meant to give women curves where they want them.
There are four different cuts and washes in the "Mould the Body" range and each pair comes with heart-shaped pockets to accentuate curves, a heart-shaped back yoke to lift your derriere and figure-flattering side seams and panelling to help create the illusion of slimmer, longer legs.
We spoke to Davide Matteazzi (pictured right), Wrangler's senior merchandising manager, in an email interview to find out his top six tips on shopping for and picking your perfect pair of jeans.
TIP 1:
Be experimental
When it comes to shopping for a pair of denim jeans, you don't have to be loyal, even if you've found a brand of jeans that fit you like a dream. Shop around other denim brands and you might find one that will fit you just as well or even better. If you don't try, you'll never know, says Davide.
TIP 2:
Understand your body type
Once you begin to know yourself and your body type, it will be easier for you to shop for jeans. There are plenty of jeans out there that can work miracles, either by hiding your flaws or flaunting your curves.
TIP 3:
Confidence is key
It is simple. The best way to know you've found a well-fitted pair of denims is when it becomes the pair that you feel the most confident in.
TIP 4:
Buy the one you love
Go with the pair that you feel the most for. Different denims will elicit different emotions, so pick the pair that resonates with you the most.
TIP 5:
Don't follow trends blindly
There are no hard and fast rules about wearing jeans but don't buy a pair of jeans because they are trendy right now. Instead you should choose a pair that is flattering. The mirror can't lie so if it doesn't look good on you in the mirror, it won't look good anywhere else either.
TIP 6:
Go for stretch
If possible, go for a pair that is relatively stretchy rather than a pair that is stiff and unwieldy. Not only will this feature make jeans more comfortable, they will also be more flattering.
