Nv Clothing Guide to Denim Shopping...

Aside from swim suits one of the most frustrating items to shop for is that perfect pair of jeans. It can be overwhelming trying to decide which cut, wash, and style is right for you, so we’ve compiled a simple overview and suggested some great styles to fit your body type!

Legs:

Wide leg is…loosely fitted from the hip down, and opens to a wide leg

Trouser is…similar to a wide leg jean but typically features a wide hem

Boot cut is…fitted through thigh and knee; and begins to flare slightly from knee down

Straight leg…is a fitted jean that features the same width from the knee to leg opening

Skinny…is snugly fit through hip, rear, and thighs, and tapers from the knee to ankle

Denim Legging/Jegging…is meant to fit like a second skin, featuring a generous amount of stretch.

Rise:

A low rise falls…at two or more inches below the naval.

A mid rise falls…just at the naval.

A high rise falls…at or above the naval

If you’ve got…

a flat booty:

-Attract attention and dimension to your ass-ets with back flap pockets and/or a skinny jean.

-We suggest Hudson Jeans Signature Skinny Destroyed in RGN wash, or True Religion's Misty Legging Jean in Body Rinse.

some extra junk in your trunk…aka a booty or pear shape:

-Find a jean with a narrower waist and stretch to fit your curves. Darker washes tend to have an overall slimming effect- avoid excessive fading and distressing.

-Skinny jeans with a straighter cut can work too!

-We suggest Joe’s Jeans Honey Rocker in Maribel

A petite body…

-Skinny jeans are great for you! Sticking to linear cuts like straight legs and cigarette legs will lengthen you.

-If you are shorter and curvy a wide leg trouser will give you a sleek and polished look especially when worn with heels.

-When getting your jeans hemmed ask for the “original hem” it will make your jeans look as though they came made to fit you!

-We suggest Seven For All Mankind's Lexie Petite Jean in AHT wash

or J brand 901 Legging in Tawny.

Long legs…

-Choose something with a low rise and a longer inseam…

-We suggest Hudson's Super Model Bootleg in BGG wash

or Rock and Republic's Kassandra in Battle wash

We hope this helps! Happy shopping...
