How to choose the perfect jeans for different body types?

джинсы

Jeans are one of the most popular elements of the wardrobe. They are worn at any time of the year and combined with different styles. However, choosing the perfect jeans can be difficult, given the variety of styles, fits and materials. Let’s look at how to choose jeans that will fit your figure and style.

Choosing jeans by body type

The most important factor in choosing jeans is your figure. There is no universal pair that will suit everyone, but there are styles that can emphasise the advantages or hide some features.

Hourglass figure

If you have a figure with a well-defined waist and well-proportioned hips and chest, your goal is to emphasise these shapes. Try high-waisted jeans: they emphasise the waist and bring harmony to the silhouette. These can be tight jeans that emphasise curves, and models with wide trousers or flats, which will balance the shape.

Rectangle’ figure

If you have a figure with the same size of waist, hips and chest, you should choose jeans that create the illusion of curves and add volume. A good option – models with a low or medium fit. They visually divide the torso and make the figure more proportional. Jeans with details, such as pockets on the hips or a ripped design to add volume in the right places, are also suitable.

Pear shape

Those with wider hips and narrow shoulders should look for jeans that visually balance the silhouette. Jeans with straight trousers or a slight slouch will help to balance the hips and legs. It is better to choose models with a high fit: they will emphasise the waist. Also avoid too tight jeans, which can draw attention only to the hips.

Apple shape

If you have a figure with a pronounced belly and relatively narrow legs, high-waisted jeans can help hide the belly and make your figure more proportional. Choose models with elasticated fabric that supports the stomach and does not create unnecessary pressure. Straight or slightly flared jeans that elongate the silhouette and create a balance between the top and bottom of the body are a good choice.

Material and quality of jeans

The material of jeans is important for comfort and durability. A good fabric will fit better and retain its original look longer.

Cotton with added elastane

Modern jeans are often made from cotton with added elastane (Lycra), which gives the fabric elasticity. Such jeans stretch well and fit the figure, providing comfort when moving. They will suit those who prefer tight-fitting models.

100% cotton jeans

Traditional jeans made of pure cotton are less elastic, but they have their advantages. These jeans are tighter, hold their shape better and can become even more comfortable over time, ‘adjusting’ to the figure. These jeans do require a little ‘alteration’, but in the end they can become a favourite pair.

Raw denim

Raw denim (or untreated) is a fabric that has not gone through a pre-wash process. Raw denim jeans require care and time to ‘rub’ against the figure, but they offer maximum durability and strength.

Jeans styles for different figures

There are many different styles of jeans and the choice depends on your style, preferences and body type.

Skinny jeans

Skinny jeans are popular because of their ability to accentuate the figure and blend in with a variety of styles. These jeans fit snugly across the leg and are ideal for the hourglass and rectangle figure.

Straight jeans

Straight jeans are suitable for almost any figure type as they create a balanced and classic silhouette. These jeans are not too tight on the leg, but not too wide either. They look good with heeled shoes and trainers.

Flared jeans

Flared jeans fit around the hips and extend from the knee, helping to balance the figure and add a retro touch to the look. Flared jeans are ideal for the pear shape as they visually balance the hips and add length to the legs.

Mom jeans

Mom jeans are a retro model with a high rise and straight trousers that can taper slightly towards the bottom. These jeans are popular for their vintage style and comfort. They are suitable for different body types, but look especially good on the ‘hourglass’ and ‘apple’, as they accentuate the waist.

Regardless of the style, length and material, it’s important that your jeans fit comfortably and suit your lifestyle.
