By CountryDutchess.comWhen it comes to finding a great pair of jeans - well, it seems solving the economic crisis might just be easier! As women everywhere can attest, it's often the "little things" that make the difference between an okay fitting pair of jeans - and jeans that make you look too fabulous for words!
To help iron the style wrinkles keeping you from looking great, the CountryDutchess design team asked some of their bonafide jeans mavens for the jeans fashion fixes that really work!
Perfect Jeans Problem Solving Guide
Problem: Short Waist
Qwik Fix: Look for a trouser style jean with a flat front, slash pockets and a low waist to elongate your look, says Marshalls jeans expert Amy Cafazzo.
Problem: Long Waist
Qwik Fix: Look for regular to high-rise with a straight leg to balance the body, says Lisa Sandel, creator of the Tummy Tuck Jean..
Problem: Short Legs
Qwik Fix: Seek out narrow legs and a low rise – and wear your jeans to the top of the instep, but no longer. Avoid "scrunchy" long lengths that bunch at the ankles and the "pencil leg" which tapers in at the foot. " And always wear your jeans with high heels for a long lean look," says Mjchelle Madhok, editor of SheFinds.com
Problem: Long Legs Qwik Fix: Can legs really be too long? We don't think so! But if you're self conscious about yours, avoid styles that are too short in the rise (you'll ALL legs!), as well as cropped pants, or very wide legs – they'll only make you look wider, not shorter. Instead, Sandel says seek out a narrow leg with a mid rise to create proportion between your top and bottom.
Problem: Bulging Tummy
Qwik Fix: Look for a jean with a 4% Lycra stretch to help hold in anything that jiggles including your tummy. Sandel says she's engineered her Tummy Tuck jeans to have less stretch in the front and more in the back so the pants act like a girdle with a fabric panel – holding you in but not pushing you up and out.
Problem: Large Thighs
Qwik Fix: Stay away from striated coloring that "sheds light" on your thighs! Experts say you should also avoid high waisted and tapered jeans which make thighs look larger. Instead, go for styles that offer a "relaxed fit", says Sandel, with a cut that sits slightly below your natural waist.
Problem: Boooty Issues Qwik Fix: It's all in the pockets! Remember these rules: Small pockets make any backside look larger; big pockets make any backside look smaller; no pockets make hips look wider; embroidered or detailed pockets make every bottom look curvier!
