Choosing the right jeans for your body shape
Jeans are the staple ingredient of our wardrobes. They are also one of
the most difficult items of clothing to shop for - they are up there with
swimwear!
As the saying goes 'you have to kiss a lot of frogs to find Prince Charming',
so you have to try on a lot of jeans to find the perfect ones!
To wear jeans successfully you need to get the fit just right - the style,
the denim colour and texture and also the right length and cut.
You should feel good when you slip on your blue jeans - they have the
potential to accentuate your great bum and legs. But be warned - they
can also bring attention to your problem areas - chunky thighs, big or
flat bum, tummy or short legs. Take advice and choose the most flattering
jeans for you.
Your body shape will help you make the right jeans choice as there are some definite dos and don'ts depending on your figure.
Pear
Shaped
The best jeans for those of us who are bottom heavy is the universally flattering Boot-cut. The flare at the bottom of boot cuts helps to minimize the appearance of heavy thighs or wide hips.
Cut mid-rise (about 2 fingers below the belly button) they will lengthen and slim your legs, or if you have a little excess that easily turns to a muffin belly, then opt for the higher cut 'on the waist' option.
A dark wash gives the most slimming look. Wear heels to add height and
lengthen legs, as the longer the jeans then the longer (and thinner) your
legs look.
* Warning - stay well away
from a tapered, pencil or peg leg jean, they'll make you look wider.
Big bottom
Choose big pockets on your bum as it keeps your proportions. Small pockets too far apart, or no pockets on the back of your jeans can widen your rear
Try to avoid too much fussy embellishment on the back pockets, if you're bothered by the size of your backside. Vertical seams, both on the pockets and down the back of the jeans, also help to make you look longer rather than wider. if you are very concious of your bottom's size wearing a low rise cut can help shorten your bum, and a flare at the ankles will help create balance.
Wear jeans long, touching the bottom of your ankle bones with heels to
lengthen legs and make a flattering shape.
* Warning - avoid jeans
featuring 'worn' or bleached areas on the backside of your jeans, as they
only highlight your problem area.
Big tummy
High-waisted jeans can help hold in your stomach and slim your profile.
* Warning - don't choose
jeans that have ties, pleats, an elastic or gathered waistband or are
decorated in front - this only draws attention and adds unwanted inches.
Short
Choose straight-cut jeans as these will lengthen your legs and are also
slimming. High-waisted jeans can give the illusion of height, as can Hipster/
low-rise jeans as they also elongate the body, making you appear taller.
Wear them long with heels.
* Warning - avoid turn-ups,
as they cut off your leg length and lose you height.
Tall
Choose long flared jeans that are snug through the thigh, like slim bootcuts, show off gorgeous long legs. Skinny and low rise jeans work well too. Wear heels with hems down to the floor to make your legs go on forever.
Slim
Skinny, low rise jeans make the most of your slim legs and your trim tum can take exposure. Wear a chunky belt to bring attention to your slim waist and hips.
Short waisted
Choose a jean with a low waist to lengthen the body - low rise are the
right jean choice for you.
* Warning -avoid high waisted
jeans they will make your torso look shorter.
Long waisted
Choose a regular rise or high waisted jean.
* Warning - stay away from
low-rises. You need at least 8" of rise to make your legs look longer,
and in proportion with your body length.
Boyish figure
High-set or angled pockets can give a flat bottom more shape. Boyish figures should choose cigarette or tapered jeans, because they are slim at the calves they make the hips look fuller and add curves to a flat bottom.

Diet Tip 
Exercise tip
When you reach a
point in your exercise where you feel you can't do another step - running,
jogging, or walking - chant inwardly to yourself 'lovely legs'
over and over, like a mantra and focus in your mind on a picture of your
lovely, toned and cellulite-free new pins!
It really helps when you're toiling up a steep hill or are on the step
machine.
