Wear your jeans right

A contemporary woman's wardrobe is quite incomplete without a pair of trendy jeans that accentuates her curves.  Jeans are always à la mode, in spite of what time of the day it is. Whether it is an office party or comfort wear, you must always have the right type of jeans to shine with. 

The unique structure of individual women has led to the creation of various styles of jeans. A case in point: skinny jeans.  They look great on women with slender builds and long legs. Women with a curved or pear-shaped body will rock a boot cut jeans. They are especially made narrower at the thighs and wider below the knees.  Boot cut jeans are compatible for woman of all shapes but look  especially good on women with wider shins. 

Flare leg jeans are also known as the exaggerated version of boot cut jeans. They have a dramatic bell opening and are designed to flare out just below the knees. Flare leg jeans particularly highlight women with broad shoulders and narrow hips. 

Moving on, straight leg jeans are a timeless classic that look great on women of all body types. However, if you have a curvaceous bottom half, slim fit jeans would be the right choice for you. These jeans hug the hip and thighs, enhancing your curves. On the contrary, loose fit jeans may be more comfortable, allowing free flow of air and lots of room for movement when you are on the run. 

Rise is another type of jeans that refers to the way the jeans appear on the wearer's waist.  Low rise jeans can be quite low on the waist, preferably for women who are petite. Mid rise jeans may appear more sophisticated since they are designed to fall on your natural waistline. These are well-suited for an average body and can be worn with almost anything. 

On the other hand, high rise jeans have high waistlines and are generally best fit for tall women who prefer to wear their jeans on their waist rather than the hips, and are perfect for retro-inspired outfits. 

Lastly, stretch jeans are a must have for every woman's wardrobe. They look wonderful no matter what your body shape is and are configured to stretch over the thighs and the bottom.  Stretch jeans can easily conceal flaws in the body structure giving the wearer a flatter stomach, toned thighs and a higher measure of self-confidence. 

So what are you waiting for? Hit the stores; find the right pair of jeans to spice up your wardrobe.  It will be all about jeans this summer.
