We’ve all been there, the everlasting search for the perfect pair of jeans. This may seem like a daunting task, but with HC Montclair’s help you will be on your way to looking fabulous all year long. Jeans are an absolute MUST because you can dress them up or play them down, while always looking polished. What’s the best part? The seasons may change along with style, but they are ALWAYS in. So when you find something worth buying, make sure you grab it with both arms and run to the register.
Are you an apple? Apple shaped women tend to posses broad shoulders and carry most of the weight in their midsection. When choosing the perfect pair of jeans to flatter your body, go for a straight leg fit that shows off your assets. Jeggings (part jeans, part leggings) are great because they are not only comfortable, but stretch too. They will show off your legs and minimize your midsection.
HC Montclair suggests: American Eagle’s authentic dark indigo- super stretch jegging $39.99
Are you a Pear? Pears shaped women usually have a greater hip measurement than their bust. This body type tends to carry weight in the hips and rear. Choosing a mid-rise pair of jeans with a slight flare will balance your look and elongate your legs. A dark wash will give a slimming appearance and avoiding pocket detailing will draw attention away from that area.
HC Montclair suggests: Women’s Wide-leg Trouser Jeans in Rinse $34.50
Are you an Hourglass? Hourglass shaped women tend to have both their hip and bust at an equal size with a narrower waist. Skinny jeans highlight your curves perfectly, as well as a pair that is wide-leg flare. This style will have a slimming effect while showing off your sexy curves!
HC Montclair suggests: Skinny Jean- authentic denim wash $29.99
Are you a rectangle? Rectangular shaped women tend be tall and have a waist measurement that is less than 9 inches smaller than the hips or bust measurement. This distribution creates a straight shape. A pair of jeans that is low-rise will shape you perfectly and a high-rise will make your long legs go on for days!
HC Montclair suggests: LC Lauren Conrad Pencil Jeans $24.99
Are you Petite? Petite women tend to be short and supper skinny. Lucky for you girls, any cut whether it is low, mid, or high-rise will look great. Your best option is to pick a pair of jeans that lengthen your legs. Dark jeans will make you look smaller, so go for a light wash. A supper skinny cut will show off your tiny figure.
HC Montclair suggests: American Eagle’s Straight Jean light-wash $34.99
HC Montclair’s suggestion: If you are looking to make your booty look bigger, pick a pair of jeans with tons of detailing on the pockets. But, if you want to make it look smaller, avoid the detailing!
