Finding the perfect pair of jeans is a difficult task. As one body differs from another, so do the models suitable for different builds. If you want to buy a pair of jeans that give your person grace and at the same time fall within your budget, follow these simple recommendations.
Steps
Method 1 of 3: Finding the Right Women's Size
Step 1. Plan at least an hour to try on the jeans
Start at a mall or department store, so you can compare different models.
Step 2. Measure your waist and crotch
Calculate the waist size of your jeans based on a series of measurements ranging from the bottom (hips), center (above the hips) and top (navel). The waistline is more important than the crotch length, as jeans can always be shortened.
- If you are very tall, look for a 36 inch (91 cm) long crotch. Brands like Habitual and Rock n'Republic specialize in sizes for tall people.
- Smaller women can orient themselves on brands like Kasil, Banana Republic and Caslon.
Step 3. Know which models are right for you
Below you will find the most common models of jeans:
- Elephant paw. This model comes out and is back in fashion quickly. The leg widens between the knee and the ankle; can bring out the curves of the body.
- Flared. This is the most versatile type of jeans, suitable for women with different types of physique. The leg flares down slightly, just enough to fit over heels or boots.
- Palace, similar to the elephant's paw. It is a model that fits well over heels and boots. It is easy to dress and perfect for both a curvy and a slender body.
- Cigarette: follows the line of the leg and does not flare. This pattern can make your legs slim, but check that it doesn't squeeze your calf.
- Skin-tight. It is a perfect model to wear by tucking the leg into a high boot. It is snug from the buttocks to the ankles, although it is not very comfortable. It can suit your body, especially if you are curvy.
- Relaxed or boyfriend model. Just like the English name suggests, these jeans are full-length wide. They are more stylish when rolled up at the ankle, and shouldn't stick too tightly on the buttocks. They generally fit best on a tall figure.
Step 4. Opt for the mid-rise rather than the low-rise one, unless you are sure you have a short bust
Low-rise jeans are approximately 20-25cm shorter in the hips and waist than those with a mid-rise. If you are a little round on the hips, buttocks or stomach, the low waist is as if it gives you a decidedly unattractive "crushed pudding" look, risking to bring out your roundness above the belt.
Step 5. Choose a dark fabric with few details
Avoid noticeable seams, pocket decorations or whiskering on the fabric, which are good for the latest fashion jeans, but can alter the lines of the body and are not suitable for everyday wear.
- Whiskers (or whiskering in English) are artificially created color variations on the fabric in the hip and buttock area. They usually form horizontal stripes around the pelvis.
- A dark-colored bath of the fabric gives a greater slimming effect than that given by a light blue bath or sandblasted jeans.
Step 6. Try a one-size-fits-all pair of jeans if you are looking for slimmer style pants
A pair of jeans will stretch approximately 5-6mm all the way around. However, if you can't get your finger in the area where the belt fits your pelvis, they are too tight.
Always bring 2 or 3 different sizes to the dressing room. All brands vary, so you may need a size larger or smaller than you think
Step 7. Highlight the curves with details
If you want your buttocks to look firmer, choose jeans with pockets and buttons. If you want your hips to look more curvy, you can try those jeans with color baths that highlight the seams on the hips.
Method 2 of 3: Finding the Right Size for Men
Step 1. Ask the clerk to take your measurements
If it's been a long time since you last put your jeans on, you should measure your waist and crotch again. If the store does not offer this service, find an old pair of trousers that fits you well, buy a measuring tape and take these two measurements yourself.
- The waist measurement corresponds to the circumference of the belt. On the body, however, it corresponds to the circumference at the widest point above the pelvis.
- The crotch corresponds to the distance between the upper part of the groin and the ankle.
Step 2. Get jeans that are both crotch and waist size
Avoid a generic size that doesn't allow you to have a pair of jeans that fit your body shape. Some men's jeans only carry waist sizes. In this case, the horse often hovers around 30-32 inches (76-81cm).
Step 3. Evaluate the fit in the back
If it falls comfortably on your buttocks without sagging, it means it fits you well.
Step 4. Evaluate the fit in the groin area
Sit down and see if it bothers you. If it crushes you, get a size with the larger crotch.
Step 5. Try the jeans on with a pair of shoes you wear regularly
Remember that, despite everything, you can always change the length in order to tailor it to the fit you have on your waist, crotch and buttocks.
Step 6. Choose a denim fabric that is darker, tending to indigo
Real blue jeans are usually garments with a sturdy fabric and a durable color. And they also respond to a high fit, suitable for most body types.
Step 7. Don't choose ripped or ripped jeans
Rips can give a nice pair of jeans a strange look, giving the impression that they fit badly, even if you seem to have found the right pair. Instead, try to wear a pair of jeans yourself, wearing them more often.
Step 8. Ask the store if they have a tailor
Otherwise, find one in the telephone directory. Try on the jeans with the shoes you usually wear when the tailor takes your measurements, so that the changes will be exactly how you want them.
Method 3 of 3: Choosing the Store
Step 1. Start with a department store
You will find designer jeans more easily, and the salesperson may know which model fits you best. You could save 30 minutes or more by taking a look at the shelves.
Some department stores offer tailoring services with the purchase of a designer garment
Step 2. Try jeans of different prices
Jeans on sale for € 25, € 50 and € 110 will have a different fit, because the more expensive pair generally have a tighter weave. This means they will last longer, retaining their shape after washing.
If you want a pair of jeans to use at work, you may want to consider buying a designer one
Step 3. Visit specialty stores if your size is large
Svoboda, Levi, Lane Bryant, Chicos or Newport News provide a fair number of oversized models.
Step 4. Buy several pairs of jeans when you have found the right ones
Models of jeans often experience interruptions in production. Fashion experts suggest that women buy two pairs, one with the right length for flat shoes and the other to be used with heels.
