1. Just say "no" to camel-toe! If it's "riding up" you need to "put them down" immediatly and walk away-fast!
2. High waisted, washed out, pleated "mom jeans" are usually not cool. Unless you are under the age of 24, are skinny as a bean pole and are trying to pull off the urban boho high waisted look that you see some famished models wearing these days, steer clear!
3. Beware of muffin top. Yes we love eating them, but we don't want to look like one. If you are set on wearing that particularly tight pair, be sure to wear a billowy top, or sweater that will hide the love handles. Otherwise you should opt for a larger size.
4. Baggy britches are just not flattering. I'm sorry but they are not. By no means do you HAVE to wear tight jeans, but at least try to find something that isn't hanging/dangling/sagging in your seat. If there is enough fabric to grab with your whole hand in your butt/thigh area, you are in seriously saggy trouble. Try shopping for a slimmer leg jean.
5. We all love skinnys, but let's face it, they are just not meant for all people. By no means do you have to be skinny to pull of skinnys, but you must know how to wear them. With skinny jeans, it's all about proportion. If you wear skinny jeans/pants, you need to wear a looser fitting top, or a longer tunic. This will bring balance to your frame and draw your eye up, while avoiding overall tightness.
6. You should be able to fit at least two to three fingers in comfortably at the waist. If not, they are probably too tight. If you can fit your whole fist, they may be too large.
7. If you are concerned about your belly and want to draw attention away from it, avoid low-rise denim, that cut in just under your belly. A medium-rise is best to keep belly buldge at bay, especially when you sit down. Low-rise will give way for your belly to hang out/push out where a medium-rise jean will actually keep it nicely tucked in.
8. If hips are your concern, skinny jeans are your enemy. Opt for a boot-cut jean that will bell just a bit at the bottom and bring balance to your hips/butt. Another nice fit for hippy women is a dark wide legged jean. The width all the way down to the floor actually brings equilibrim to your legs and hips.
9. Remember that dark denim is always the most dressy and will make you look slimmer than light-medium denim.
10. If you have flat butt syndrome, when shopping try to keep in mind that flap pockets will work wonders for your "lack there of." They add visual weight and curviness when your wall-like butt needs a bit of help.
